Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- what the world eats – Interesting — though my family’s food probably looks more like the Chinese one than the American one chosen (yeesh).
- Project Pigeon – Cue “Stop That Pigeon!” music.
- After Authoring Memo On How To Kill Health Reform, CNN’s Alex Castellanos Feigns Interest In Bipartisanship – What? A paid flack for the insurance industry and the GOP is treated by CNN as a profound pundit and journalistic comrade? Only in the “left-wing media,” ladies and gentlemen.
- The Two Paths: Good Mothers and Outcast Sluts – Woot! Let’s hear it for dissipation! (It’s worth noting that the achievements and flaws on the women’s side are mostly social; the men get societal successes but physical costs.)
- Official BlackBerry Twitter Client Coming November 16 with Push?: Simon Sage
- WiFi-enabled bathroom scale slides into USA, overweight Yanks sluggishly back away – I’d buy one. Or accept one as a gift, I suppose.
- Cars Make You Fat – Cars don’t make you fat per se, of course (unless you’re hitting the drive-through more often) — but the circumstances that make us drive more rather than biking or walking also make us fat.
- 50 Extraordinary and Attractive Billboards – It sounds like an oxymoronic phrase, but these are actually wonderful. I wouldn’t want all billboards to be this way, but these are very nicely done.
- Health Insurance Stocks Rise After Defeat Of Public Option Amendments – A Health Care Plan that has private, for-profit insurance conglomerates doing high-fives in the hallways is probably not a Health Care Plan that serves the American people very well.
- VIDEO FLASHBACK: GOP Lawmakers Repeatedly Said Americans Would ‘Die’ Under Democratic Health Plans – Look! Naked, bald, bare-faced political hypocrisy by House Republicans! Who’d have imagined it!?
- National Review’s John Derbyshire: Women Should Not Have The Right To Vote – You mean people are still listening to what John Derbyshire has to say? Amazing.
- Gibbs reacts to Steele’s Olympics criticism: ‘Who’s he rooting for?’ – The benefits of the Olympics may be debatable, but imagine the GOP furor if Obama had
declinedto support the Chicago effort. “Once again, America-hating Obama refuses to support the United States’ image overseas.” You know they would. - Chamber Of Commerce Rewrites History: ‘We’ve Never Questioned The Science Behind Global Warming’ – Hmmm … sounds like a sign that the CoC is realizing they’re in trouble with this one.
- Rand Rolls Off the Press – I understand wanting to increase the brand identity for the university — but I do love that old logo.
- S.C. Gov. Sanford doesn’t want ethics report released – Well, gosh, it sounds like it has some pretty damaging information in there — which sounds like an excellent reason to release it to the public (let alone just lawmakers). Transparency in a democratic government is, y’know, a good thing.
- Goodness Of Laser Lights On A Watch – Wow. This makes the original LED originals look … trendy again.
- An Open Letter to Rep. Alan Grayson in Defense of Neanderthals « Afarensis: Anthropology, Evolution, and Science – I can’t wait for some GOPer to suggest that Neanderthals were socialists, and that’s why they died out …
- Cox supports absolute immunity for prosecutors who break the law – Rrrrrg. Teeth … grinding …

Could be nice, but there’s someone else’s name on the watch.
