Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- MI5 hunting breast implants of death – BOOBS OF DOOOOOOOOOM! (“Oh, and subscribe to our Wingnut security newsletter!”)
- Jamison Foser: Why does The Hill think D emocrats would be the ones tainting the process?: Jamison Foser
- Flashback: GOP Senator Challenging Bayh Questioned Clinton’s Motives For Targeting Bin Laden – Ah, those heady, benign days of the Clinton administration, where the craziest Right-wing conspiracy theories were only that Vince Foster was offed because he knew something about Clinton and Lewinsky …
- Comcast Passes Gigantic, Approaches Planetary – Business is booming for nation’s biggest broadband, third biggest phone company – I guess I should be … happy I do business with them? (Though I refuse to let them handle my phone service.)
- McCain’s Convenient Flip Flop on DADT : Dispatches from the Culture Wars – As usual, McCain finds a way to further tarnish anything resembling a reputation. It’s not going to help him in his senate re-election, but he inevitably takes the politically expedient course. Disappointing, but no longer surprising.
- Who Keeps Pooping In My Bags Of Salad?! – Taking note of this.
- REVERSAL: Colin Powell Joins Call For Repeal Of DADT: Joe
- Jesus Didn’t Tap Out – Yes, because between curing the sick and preaching hope for the poor, Jesus was well known for going a few rounds in a steel cage mixed martial arts arena. Yeesh.
- Thanks To Obama’s Rejection Of Torture, Abdulmuttalab Has Been Providing Intel On Al Qaeda – You mean … acting civilized and following a rule of law can actually … be … a GOOD thing? Even helpful? Even when dealing with (whisper) TERRORISM? Inconceivable!
- Exclusive: Bush Lawyer Debunks Limbaugh’s Claim That Professors Wrote Obama’s Law Articles – Sometimes I just want to slap Limbaugh silly. But he’s already silly, so it really wouldn’t help.
- Deficit Peacock Newt Gingrich Doesn’t Recognize His Own Feathers – Perhaps Newt would like to move to Colorado Springs in the near future to see how his ideals work in real life.
- Anti-Choice Groups Slams Randall Terry – Interesting — and encouraging — to see folks from the anti-abortion movement ripping Terry a new one. “when your self-promotional excesses discredit the entire pro-life movement with reckless theatrics, it would be irresponsible for the rest of us to signal indifference, or worse, agreement, by our collective silence.”
- FRC’s Sprigg Wants To See Homosexuality Criminalized – (1) I find it interesting he suggests that homosexual attraction is not a choice, only acting on it. (2) He seems to think that the Uniform Code of Military Justice is how we ought to organize our society, or at the very least, once written down, ought never be changed. (3) Yes, he really does want to see it criminalized.
- Ducking like a quack [A Few Things Ill Considered] – As much a commentary on journalism (of the scientific and non- varieties both) as on skepticism.
- How to Trim Your Query to 250 Words (or Fewer): Advice from Agent Janet Reid – Easier said than done, of course, but some very good advice here (probably extensible to other sorts of summaries).
- 10 apps to schedule tweets (plus one!) – Holy Kaw! – Flagging this for later review. Sometimes it would be handy to schedule tweets.
- Rush Limbaugh: ‘I love the women’s movement — especially when walking behind it.’ – Oh, oink.
- : Hannity graphic asks: “Is Pres Obama Pushing Us To Financial Ruin?” – “And does he still beat his wife?”
- Crystal Light, Thinner and Lighter – The package design is much superior. The new logo is less “crystalline,” but arguably more attractive (and certainly more “feminine”).
- Judge censured for ordering class-action lawyer to take pay in $125,000 worth of gift-cards – Actually, I think it was a fine solution. If lawyers had to accept consequences of their settlements, they might make better settlements.
