Is Congress getting dumber? A new study found that members of both houses speak at a 10th grade level — a whole grade lower than in 2005.

Moderate members tend to speak more eloquently than partisans and — in a trend reversal from the previous decade — Democrats rate higher on the scale than Republicans, the research shows.
At the ends of the spectrum, according to the findings, are two Republican House members: the loquacious Rep. Dan Lungren of California, at the level of a college senior, and the plainspoken Rep. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina, whose level is just below an eighth-grader.

Since when are major newspapers written at an 11th grade level?

Hell yes. Listen to John Peel’s legendary vinyl collection! This is exciting stuff for crate diggers around the world. Says the archive director Tom Barker:

After some deliberation we decided that the best way to start the process was to release the details of the first 100 albums, listed alphabetically, from each letter of the alphabet each week. So on 1st May we will release the first 100 A’s, on 8th May the first 100 B’s, 15th May first 100 C’s, and so on.

We also hope that by doing it on a week by week basis, you will keep coming back week after week, eager and excited to explore more of John’s collection.
