Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Steele: Moderates Are Welcome In The GOP As Long As They Vote Like Right Wingers: Ryan Powers
- Rep. Markey Speaks on Hate Crimes Bill: Autumn Sandeen
- Who Controls The National Day of Prayer?: Kyle
- Rep. Foxx backtracks: My Matthew Shepard comments were ‘a poor choice of words.’: Amanda Terkel
- Maine Gay Marriage Bill Passes Senate: The Huffington Post News Team
- Free Comic Book day this Saturday!: Cory Doctorow
- Banking lobby successfully defeats mortgage cram-down provision.: Pat G.
- Visualizing The Fetus: lisa
- Saying Goodbye Is The Hardest Partition – It’s the same old story. BACK UP YOUR DATA! NO, I MEAN YOU, TOO! YES, RIGHT NOW!
- The Myth of Online Predators – The Daily Beast – It’s okay to be fearful. But be fearful of actual risks, and of things you can do something about.
- Switching Roles – Massively webcomic: Grinders – As someone who has a high female:male ratio in his City of Heroes toons … um, yeah. Though, honestly, if I’m going to watch a character for hours on end (even if it’s my own), I’d rather it were female.
- 378 – X M-Aarrrh-ks the Spot – A cool bit of literary history here.
- A New Chipotle Pepper Harvest – Another nice new logo.
- And the Logo Played On – That is a great logo. It’s attractive, but would be a bit too abstract in general, if it weren’t directly associated with the play/stop/etc. button icons that everyone knows so well.
- Cool Stuff: Disney’s Internal Star Wars Weekends Posters – I believe we will be at WDW during one of those weekends.
- House passes budget with zero GOP votes. – I think the update at the end has it perfect. I really don’t believe for a moment that all GOP House members really opposed this bill. They’ve just been whipped into shape by the House minority leadership and by a shrinking GOP voting base that’s becoming more and more reactionary but remains the initial gatekeepers during the primaries.
- GOP Hysterical Over Hate Crimes Bill Because It Would Protect Gay People – I will give at least some of them the benefit of the doubt of just being ignorant over the law (both current hate crime law and how motivation already impacts our legal system, and what this new law does), vs. just being anti-gay.
- Parallel Universe or Time Travel? – Michelle Bachmann is pretty Twilight Zoney, regardless of the reason.
- Here Are Some Of The Companies Behind The Car Warranty Robocalls [Car Warranties] – Man, I hate these calls.
