Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Paul Raushenbush: Thanks Glen Beck – this ‘Socialism’ Sounds Great!: Paul Raushenbush
- Bob Cesca: The Most Nightmarish Health Care Reform Bill Ever: Bob Cesca
- GOP Offers Heath Care Reponse By Rep Who Took $1.2 Mil From Industry: Alan
- Top House Liberal: Obama Signaled On Call He Understands How Serious We Are About Public Option – We will see. Obama has been spending a lot more (obvious) time courting the GOP than the Dems. That may come back to haunt him.
- White House Talking Points On Obama’s Speech: Republicans Need To Put Up Or Shut Up – A lot will depend on the delivery, but this is a fairly no-nonsense list of points. However — there’s still a lot of “bi-partisanism” (if with an aggressive tone) and nothing about the public option.
- iTunes 9 Breaks webOS Media Sync – Don’tcha just love it when companies are so baldly more interested in locking in direct market share than in the consumer world as a whole?
- Politico: Barack Obama will hedge on public option – So, option 1.5. Hrm.
- Ultimate Collection of Twitter Cartoons – I do like the “Judgment Day” one in particular.
- Don’t let the domestic partnership rejectionists win the media battle! – Well, Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt are usually part and parcel of anti-gay rhetoric, so counting on a confused electorate to sneak a win through is hardly surprising.
- “Victimized” Christian Creates Soap Opera Soap Opera – Right. Because I’m sure Ian McKellan is a proponent of subjugating humanity beneath mutant-kind’s heel, too. If you’re not willing to read the lines you’re given, then either quit or get fired.
- The Indoctrination Of School Children By President Obama Is Now Complete! – “Oh, the horror… the horror!” I mean, everyone knows that Real Americans(TM) clean their hands with Holy Water and Spit — or maybe a splash of Jack Daniels once you’re 14 — and none of that namby-pamby Euro-weenie “hand sanitizer.”
- Just How Good is the “New” Hubble? Let’s Compare – After the initial bobbles, Hubble has turned into a true success for NASA — one which the Suits inside and outside the agency keep trying to get rid in favor of sexier space science.
- Baby Killing Socialists!!!! – Oh, Lordy, will we be hearing about this for the next decade? Jeez.
- California politician caught bragging about sexual affairs with lobbyists resigns. – Very minor kudos for manning up and bowing out. Perhaps he could give Mark Sanford a call with that advice.
- Using list from fringe FreeRepublic.com, Rep. McHenry calls for oversight hearing on 44 ‘czars.’ – Wait … all those “czars” … could it be … Obama was really born in RUSSIA!? (There, hopefully I beat the Freepers to it.)
- U.S. Forest Service warns against campers drinking Tecate beer, eating tortillas, and playing Spanish music. – Um … I think we need more than an apology here. We need to know how and why something like that was put out in the first place.
- Not Photoshopped: Just Incredible Forced Perspective Photography – Very nice!
- can men and women – I sense a theme here.
- Fragging rights – “Artificial stupidity” perhaps — but those randomized or sub-optimal choices might have some advantages, too. (We better hope they do, if we don’t want to find ourselves obsolete.)
- Embeddable Google Document Viewer: Alex Chitu
