Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- GOP Rep Pence: Dems Who Block Reform Will Be Akin To World War II Vets Who Risked Lives For Freedom – And again with the Nazi comparisons. Jerks.
- GOP Gone Wild: Unruly Republicans Silence Women Lawmakers With Screams, Shouts, And Delay Tactics – Wow. What a bunch of horse’s asses. So much for any claim to civility, to courtesy, to appeals for bipartisanship — hell, to being polite to women. I was just waiting for Rep. Dingell to tell them to just STFU.
- The Fall Foliage – An interesting article. I never thought about fall foliage colors in Europe as being different from in the US.
- Martian landscapes – Pretty.
- Pelosi Will Allow Vote on Anti-Abortion Amendment This Morning. Call Your Critter Now! – As noted, this isn’t just a matter of “keeping my tax dollars from paying for abortions,” but of de facto making abortions nearly unaffordable. That is, perhaps, the down side to getting the government more involved in the insurance biz — suddenly, it’s not that it’s some government bureaucrat deciding what legal treatment is covered, but the shrillest of voices in Congress.
- Public View of Both Parties Crashes [Dispatches from the Culture Wars] – The GOP is trying to drag the Dems into the pit as they plummit themselves — and the Dems are, too often, letting them.
- Badass Quote of the Day [Dispatches from the Culture Wars]: Ed Brayton none@example.com
- Happy Hour Discurso – Why is it so hard to count? – “Maybe Teabaggers are just REELY SMALL.” I think that answers a host of questions.
- A comment on comment spam – I agree it’s sometimes a narrow call as to whether to accept or label as spam some of the comments I see. What they link back to is often the deciding factor.
- Peugeot Lion Fights Godzilla [LOLCars] – Excellent.
- Topless Robot – The 10 Most Beloved and Unhealthy Gaming Snacks – While I have been in numerous games where the snacks flew hot and heavy — most of these are beyond the pale of even my most decadent college years.
- Just a Matter of Time — Political Wire – But how long?
- Dems Seize On Cantor’s Vow To Tea Partiers – The problem is that the “moderate GOPs” (and “moderate Dems”) are more inclined right now to go with the extremist GOPs, lest they be targeted for replacement.
- Jewish Organizations Condemn GOP For Standing By As Tea Party Protesters Waved ‘Vile’ Anti-Semitic Signs – Yea, it’s easy for GOP Congresscritters to call such signs, hypothetically, “inappropriate” — the day after the Tea Party.
- Fox And Friends Muse About ‘Special Screenings’ And ‘Special Debriefings’ For Muslims In The Military – Fox & Friends: finding witches for burning since 1998.
- Bachmann Claims Anti-Health Reform Rally Was ‘Organic,’ ‘Nothing That We Planned’ – Quoth Bachmann, “This was nothing that we organized, nothing that we planned. We didn’t order one bus, one carload. Nothing.” Except for, y’know, the folks who provided busses, and the Bachmann website organizing things, and Fox News giving it extensive pre-coverage. Purely organic.
- Is Glenn Beck Being Treated By SEIU Nurses? – Nice nurses make Glenn Beck cry.
