Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- A corporate culture and losing ‘a sense of shame’ [1] – “HEY! GOVERNMENT! LEAVE OUR BIZ ALONE!”
- The right isn’t quite done with Shirley Sherrod [2] – Yeesh.
- Showing the scouts some love [3] – Well, you do realize the Girl Scouts are evil, because they teach girls to be self-sufficient and leaders. If only they gave merit badges solely for domestic arts and “Keeping Boy Scouts Comfy,” I’m sure the Right would love them.
- Quantifying the government’s rescue of the economy [4] – Don’t confuse the GOP with FACTS and FIGURES! They’ve already firmly established (rhetorically) that the ObaMao Administration created zero jobs, and if we’d just cut taxes more then everyone would have a rocket ship and a pony by now.
- Denver Zoo welcomes baby orangutan – The Denver Post [5] – Teh Cute!
- Liberal Arts Colleges Worth Your Money (PHOTOS) [6] – The site includes links to two of the Claremont Colleges — Harvey Mudd and CMC. Pomona’s not on there — but as the numbers are for salaries on graduation, it’s not clear how factoring in folks going off to grad school might change the numbers. Go Liberal Arts!
- Teaser Trailer: Yogi Bear [7] – Well … um … yeah, that looks about as bad as, well, Dan Aykroyd looks at the beginning of the clip.
- Where Did the Money to Rebuild Iraq Go? [8] – Nice. And will anyone get fired, or demoted, or even get more than a “Well, you’ve really embarrassed us” lecture? Doubtful.
- A poll tax for a new generation [9] – Next up — let’s restrict the franchise to property owners again!
- Finally, the Avengers Cartoon Has Assembled [10] – It looks like they’re going for a combo of the New Avengers motivation (massive prison break) with a big slew of classic Avengers villains. Not faboo, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
- SDCC: Red Still Looks Good [11] – We watched this trailer several times while lined up here and there during the Con. It does look like fun, complete with some distinct surviving Warren Ellis touches.
- It’s Jeff Bridges Vs. Jeff Bridges in Tron: Legacy [12] – Okay, yes, this does look VERY cool. (Plus, “Black Hole” poster FTW!)
- Meet Paul Yarrow, the ‘Fat Guy’ in the Background of Every Newscast [13] – Come on, haven’t you always wanted to?
- HANDJOB! [Official Commercial] [14] – Heh.
- Existential D&D comedy: when characters realize they are trapped in adolescents’ imagination [15] – Okay, for the local contingent, I have purchased this. If worth reading, I will let you know. 🙂
