Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Evidence that Smoking Bans Work – Wow — that’s actually a lot more significant than I would have thought, too. I’ve just enjoyed not having cigarette smoke around.
- Twitter Needs An App Store, Oneforty Provides One – I’m surprised there hasn’t been something like this previously. A good clearing-house idea, if nothing else.
- Blockbuster Mining – Ah … adventures in kid lit.
- King: Same-Sex Marriage Is ‘A Purely Socialist Concept’ – Same-sex marriage leads to group marriage, leads to big group marriage, leads to really big group marriage, leads to socialism. Uh-huh.
- Blaming Rifqa Bary’s Parents For the Right Wing Holy War – Shameless.
- Religious Right Mobilizes To Fight Muslim Prayer Rally – It’s a “significant throbbing moment”? Um … okay.
- Rifqa Bary Wins More Right Wing Support – WTF is the “Church of America”? Yeesh.
- How To Take Back America … From the Nazis – The answer to the final question: “Looking for votes.”
- Fallen Earth’s females get a more feminine facelift – Um … it’s a post-apocalyptic MMO and the players are worried about whether the lady-folk are hawt enough? Yeesh.
- Now for some sports.. – Heh …
- Pastor Jack Hyles, jesus-is-savior – I hope Katherine grows up being able to totally karate-chop the hell out of any boy (or girl, for that matter) who looks at her cross-ways. So there.
- Cool Stuff: Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut – If the distinction from the Penultimate Director’s Cut is the interweaving of the Tales of the Black Freighter, I see no need to rush out to buy another copy of the film.
- Conservatives are outraged over an actual outrage? Color me impressed. « The Edge of the American West – ‘According to conservatives, encouraging artists to encourage kids to donate blood is now a partisan activity because it falls under the heading of “service,” and “service” is communism; “service” is socialism; “service” is Marxism; “service” is fascism.’ Unless, of course, it’s military service or a church service.
- The Drug War’s Death Toll and a Case for Legalization [Mike the Mad Biologist] – I’m not particularly thrilled about people ingesting more intoxicating substances, legally, than they currently do. On the other hand, I’m even less thrilled at the number of people killed by drug lords, drug gangs, and law enforcement, due to those intoxicants being in high demand AND illegal.
- HD Sunglasses Use The Power Of Stupidity To Increase Real World Resolution [Inventions] – HA!
- Right-Wing Radio Host Mark Levin Lashes Out At Glenn Beck: He’s ‘Mindless, ‘Incoherent,’ ‘Pathetic’ – Of course Levin is pretty mindless, incoherent, and pathetic, too. And Limbaugh’s mostly jealous, I suspect, at Beck getting a Time Magazine cover.

“…a socialist society, a society where … everybody is thrown together, living collectively off of one pot of resources earned by everyone.” So, if a husband and wife both work and put their money in a joint account, they’re socialists?
Well Avo, you forget in the Christianist world view Women are property, so it’s all HIS money anyways.
Damn straight! I only let Margie work for the excellent health benefits her company provides — that’s they way a Real Man gets to visit the doctor, dadgummit!
