Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Michigan Town Rejects Liz Cheney’s ‘Fearmongering’ And Welcomes Guantanamo Detainees: Zaid Jilani [1]
- GOPers Scream ‘Rationing,’ But Shun Bill Ensuring Mammograms « The Washington Independent [2] – Again with the rampant hypocrisy. Government “rationing” (even when none is present) is bad, but the government requiring private insurers to cover routine breast cancer screenings is apparently even worse.
- Angry supporters boo Palin for leaving in the middle of her book signing: ‘Quittin’ on the job!’: Amanda Terkel [3]
- Rep. King Reminisces About The Days When Football Players Could ‘Get A Job Because They Knew Someone’: anill [4]
- Conservative media frequently accuse progressives of “raping” Americans | Media Matters for America [5] – People have noted more than once in the past how conservative commentators tend to use war metaphors with high frequency. I guess this fits right in.
- Psalm 109:8 merchandise [6] – CafePress decides to remove all Ps. 109:8 gear from its site as inappropriate under their ToS. I think that’s the right decision — and, for what it’s worth, I’d support it no matter whose name was associated with that particular “joke” prayer.
- The Republican Establishment Is Absolutely Nuts [Mike the Mad Biologist] [7] – Wow. It just keeps getting scary-crazier.
- The Dagobah System Ain’t Safe for Droids or Pussies [8] – No, this is not leaked footage from the next iteration of “Star Tours” — but maybe it should be …
- Make That Dino-Sore! [9] – Wow. Almost makes me want to break out the old Half-Life 2 disks again!
- Once You Pop You Can’t Stop Until You Meet Lara Croft in Silent Hill [10] – Wow — I never find the good drops on those levels.
- “Unsuspected Dragons in their Psychic Dungeons” [11] – Ah, those halcyon days when it was D&D (not Teh Gayz) that were a threat to our children. (Also: sound recordings of some of the Words. DMs. Ever.)
- The Ballad of the Monster Manual [12] – I don't care for the music that much, but it is sort of funny in a retro-D&D way.
- Filing, Piling and the Family Bed Dilemma [13] – I tend to be a piler, esp. with email.
- Jeremy Holden: Does Limbaugh define words for the sole purpose of attacking Obama and the left? [14] – Yes. Yes he does.
- Jeremy Schulman: No, there isn’t a “monthly abortion fee” in the Senate bill [15] – But why confuse us with the truth when there are so many entertaining lies and distortions out there?
- Eric Boehlert: Why did Major Garrett ignore the hugely important Obama bows story?: Eric Boehlert [16]
- EFF Tackles Bogus Podcasting Patent – And We Need Your Help [17] – Here’s folks chance to help bust another crazy patent.
- Fear is the Mind-Killer [18] – Integrity, honesty, transparency, and calm are all deal-winners in this sort of thing. Painting KSM et al. as ultra-scary uber-terrorists who must be locked up offshore and/or just hauled out and shot, simply builds up their mystique and reputation — and their followers’ ranks.
- This Constitution Kills Fascists [19] – How frighteningly simple: “At its root, America’s best defense is being America again.”
