Links that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …
- Hawaii asks Obama to help bring back business travelers – Which just goes to show that a lowering tide sinks all ships. Or something like that. I don’t think giving incentives to Hawaii or ceasing the pressure on “frivolous” travel or this sort of destination for big conferences of “incentive travel.”
- Kentucky gun show features Obama-Hitler shirts and warnings to ‘prepare for Obama’s citizen army.’: Amanda Terkel
- The one difference between the Clinton years…: Boulder Dude
- “FundieCats” – Sun, 05 Apr 2009 – Ha!
- Right-wing’s false claims that Obama will take away guns ‘has helped fuel the panic buying of firearms.’ – It’s not the panic buying of fire arms that worries me …
- Endless right-wing self-pity – Glenn Greenwald – Salon.com – The article continues quite effectively. It seems the only thing you can find more often than conservative voicing their opinion in the so-called “liberal media” is conservatives complaining about how they are shut out of the so-called “liberal media.” Often at the same time.
- Giant Robot Baby Will End In Tear-Filled Kaiju Battle [Giant Robot Baby] – Okay, so maybe Ron Moore was on the right track …
- Pixar Finds Toy Retailers, Wall Street down on “Up” – Wall Street, of course, has no interest in art, or even entertainment — just franchise merchandise sales.

- LucasFilm Tells Darth Vader that Return of the Jedi Hasn’t Made a Profit!? – Yeah, it’s the same old bullshit story (see also Buchwald v. Paramount.
- 7 Things You Need to Know About Chiropractic Therapy – Fortunately, I’ve never had the need for it. But this does line up with my sense of chiropractic vs. “mainstream” medicine.
- Court: Congress can’t put public domain back into copyright – Which seems self-evident, one would think, but never doubt the ability of Intellectual Property Owners to bend the laws of time and space.
- A Lost Sense of Wonder? – Wonder bread, beloved of childhood, is just awful stuff, and mercifully Katherine has never gotten a yen for it. That said, while I agree more consistency in this branding was needed, I agree that the new version is much less “Wonder”ful than the old.
- Why URL shorteners suck – Thank you. Yes, I agree completely. And it is, in fact, a security threat.
- Man detained, threatened and abused by TSA for flying with $4700 in cash – I feel so much safer knowing that those flying with me are not carrying lots of cash. Who knows what they might do with it — buy up all the drinks?
- Science fiction’s contributions to science terminology – Cool.
