Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Idiocracy – Money graf: “More harm has been done by people panicked over societal decline than societal decline ever did.”
- Advisory Roll – Ah. Some fine RPG GMing advice here …
- Sarah for President in 2013 1/2 – Heh.
- Of Course Beer Was Involved – Please tell me this was photoshopped. Please.
- “something for everyone” – With a special bonus unnecessary “apostrophe”, too!
- What, You Expect Comcast To Stop Billing You Just Because You Canceled Your Account? [Cancel The Account]: Carey
- Uganda to ban LGBT advocacy – I am sure that, just like similar efforts in Nigeria, this will have the full prayerful backing of many in the Religious Right in this country. Darn that pesky First Amendment in the US, otherwise they could push something through like that here, too.
- Insanity: Palin’s Spokeswoman Can’t Even Make Up Reasons Why Crazy Sarah Palin Just Bailed On Her Elected Position As Governor – This is why they pay these spokescritters so much — to verbally vamp when they have no information to explain stuff that makes no sense. I mean, it’s “leadership” to resign if you’re not going to run again? Say that again? Really?
- Homeopathetic – Nice.
- Lady GaGa Update II: Andrew Sullivan
- Why Palin quit (including a Freeper battle cry) – Money quote: ‘…“I think Sarah Palin is on the verge of becoming the Miami Vice of American politics: Something a lot of people once thought was cool and then 20 years later look back, shake their heads and just kind of laugh,” quipped Republican media consultant Todd Harris.’
- BBC NEWS | Health | Self-help ‘makes you feel worse’ – Hmmm. Positive mantras only work if you already believe them. Interesting.
- bamboo keyboard and mouse give your computer wood on [technabob] – I don’t want one, but it does look pretty classy. Something for someone for Father’s (or Mother’s) Day, perhaps.
- Paul Begala: Sarah Palin Turns Pro – That the hits on this are coming from all sides of the political fence tells me it’s not all some vast left-wing conspiracy (though I’m sure her supporters will bring in some dark old-boys right-wing conspiracy that doesn’t make sense, either.)
- Sarah Palin’s Media Stalker Greta Van Susteren is Stunned that Palin Quit – Actually, the idea that being governor any more was just no darned fun any more — what with the smaller stage and ethics probes and souring economy — sounds the truest and is the most damning.
- Massively webcomic: Grinders – Gender Equality – There was once a time when I would have been very excited to use this (for non-pervy reasons). Now … feels like CoX is trying anything it can to hold onto the subscription base.
- “Confirmed-God Is Slightly Gay” – Of course, the “homosexuality is natural” argument is a non-starter for folks who consider it wrong … they’ll shift gears seamlessly from “homosexuality is unnatural and therefore evil” to “homosexuality may be found in the natural world, but so is eating your young — that’s why all gays are pedophiles, and therefore evil.”
- World Wide Words: Aluminium versus aluminum – Can’t tell your products without a program! (via Neil G)
- Palin attorney warns press on ‘defamatory material’ – Jonathan Martin – POLITICO.com – “How dare you treat me like any other public figure!?”
