Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Biotech Firm Ghostwrote Identical Statements By Congress Critters On Health Care Bill [Health Care Mosh Pit] – Jeez, guys — at least rewrite this crap before you regurgitate it.
- Continuous chest compression-CPR improved cardiac arrest survival in Arizona – May mention this to our company health & safety folks.
- Copyright Time Bomb Set to Disrupt Music, Publishing Industries – I have no doubt that, push come to shove, the labels will figure out a way to extend the deadlines out another thirty years. After all the money they’ve spent on Congresscritters, they’re sure to expect some sort of payback.
- Abstruse Goose » THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!! – Prolly the least realistic thing on the show was that they’d never, ever, ever give him his job back again after even one of these events.
- Hippo critic: Phil Plait
- What is mDNSResponder.exe / Bonjour and How Can I Uninstall or Remove It?: The Geek
- CNN paid Lou Dobbs $8 million to quit. – Maybe CNN will find wiser ways to invest their money.
- Rove Attacks Obama For Bowing: He Should Do What All Presidents Have Done And ‘Not Bow To Monarchies’ – Yeah, with what Rove doesn’t know about being polite to others one could write a book.
- Expertise – A very interesting article. Speaking specifically about wines, one reason is that the gradations for scoring are probably just too fine for any level of reasonable consistency (for a given judge, let alone multiple ones). But being a 91 rather than an 89 can make a huge difference in the market (and in the price you can ask), even if the judge is +/- 5 in consistency. Which is why we continue to score things that tightly.
- Parmesan Black Pepper Biscotti – Hey, Margie …
- Now Reading – Sound like triffic fun …
- BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Obituary: Edward Woodward – Sad.
- McCain Campaign Emails Contradict Palin’s “Going Rogue”
- Bama Bashers Upset That He Observes Foreign Customs – I now expect to hear accusations from the right that Obama is actually a secret Shintoist.
- Army Sends Single Mom To War, Her Baby To Foster Care: Alan
- Palin Calls Decision To Try 9/11 Defendants In Federal Court ‘Atrocious,’ Wants To ‘Hang ‘Em High’ – Right. And, remember, this is the woman who aspired to be a “heartbeat away” from supreme executive power in the United States, now basically claiming that executive branch prosecution and judicial branch adjudication of these crimes is inadequate to the task. Sounds like it takes an inadequacy to know an inadequacy.
- Jeremy Holden: Limbaugh redefines dangerous ideologue – Well, heck, Bozo the Clown is more qualified to comment on American politics than Rush, so no huge surprise here.

My advice to Obama’s detractors: Read Clifford D. Simak’s 1951 story, “Courtesy” (or listen to the 1955 adaptation on the X Minus One radio program).
