Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- When the Power Runs Out, We’ll Just Hide [1] – My sole regret about this is for the few folks I know who are down in the Springs. The rest can go live in their happy libertarian Mad Max reality …
- All the funding for anti-marriage equality campaign in the nation’s capital came from outside of D.C. [2] – Speaking of a “sinister agenda by outsiders trying to subvert the democratic process” …
- Same-sex marriage is bad, but Prop 8 lawyers don’t know why [3] – The excerpts are hysterical. “This will happen! And this will happen! And then, maybe this!” “And that is bad because …” “Um … well … I can’t really say.” The problem being that the argument against gay marriage is fundamentally a religious one, but you can’t argue Scriptural commandments in Court. Thank Heaven.
- Wade Davis on voodoo, the Haiti quake, and Pat Robertson: David Pescovitz [4]
- Conservatives Fearmonger About Repealing DADT: It Will Lead To The Draft And ‘Mortally’ Wound The Military [5] – Oh no! Not BODY ART!
- “Scott Brown May Be Another Arlene [sic] Specter” [6] – It’s hard to take too seriously the political acumen of someone who not only misspells Arlen Specter, but calls the previous Massachusetts senator “Joe Kennedy.”
- Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch Defends Flash, Warns HTML5 Will Throw The Web “Back To The Dark Ages Of Video” [7] – Flash is an abomination and must be destroyed. [/rant]
- R.I.P. G-strings and thongs – Holy Kaw! [8] – Yay.
- World Wide Words: One might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb [9] – I love English.
- DKos Poll Shows Overwhelming Republican Opposition to Gay Rights [10] – Wow. This is pretty discouraging. Assuming it’s a representative sample, I’m appalled.
- Poll Finds Dropping Health Care Plan Doesn’t Help Dems. So Pass The Bill! [11] – If the only reason the Dems aren’t doing this is because of (feh) fear, then, yeah, they might as well be hung for sheep as for lambs.
- Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mullen: ‘It is my personal belief’ that repealing DADT is ‘the right thing to do.’ [12] – But why let doing what’s “right” get in the way of fearmongering and bombast from the “Right”?
- What Moderates? [13] – There may be moderates in the GOP. The GOP leadership, however, controls the caucus with an iron grip, and it has no interest in moderation.
- Ikea store near Denver, Colorado – Construction update for 2010 : Colorado IKEA Fans [14] – Neither good news nor bad news, but probably no Ikea shopping this year.
- NFL Claims To Own “Who Dat,” Pisses Off New Orleans [15] – Yeesh. Good luck, too, NFL, in trying to claim that the fleur-de-lis is trademark of the NFL and the Saints.
- Spray-on liquid glass is about to revolutionize almost everything [16] – It’s hype-eriffic, but if even half this stuff is true, it’s going to be big. Though I have to wonder if adding silica/glass particles/dust to the atmosphere during its wearing away doesn’t have some potential health risks.
- Let’s Cast The Walking Dead! [17] – I don’t know enough of the other actors to argue one way or the other, but Fillion would be fantastic (and it would be a great chance to demonstrate his tormented/driven side again).
- The Myth Of The ‘Permanent Bailout Fund’ [18] – Money quote: “the Republican strategy ‘is to lie through their teeth.'”
- White House: All Gitmo Detainees Who Joined Extremist Activity Released Under Bush [19] – I’ll also note that the term “recidivist activity” implies that they were actually all proven terrorists / insurgents before they were sent to Gitmo.
- DeMint Blocks A Wise Lesbian Latina From Serving On The D.C. Superior Court [20] – DeMint’s a jerk.
