Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Beck’s ‘Plan’ will feature fake history on church-state separation from David Barton – Glenn Beck is going to peddle dishonest and discredited history. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
- Bond. Dumb Bond. – It’s ironic that the “law and order” types of the GOP seem to be the first to suggest that our criminal justice system cannot (and has not) deal with accused terrorists.
- Keep digging, Newt: Steve Benen
- GOP already claiming that the blizzard proves climate change doesn’t exist: John Aravosis (DC)
- YouTube Gets Violence and Profanity Filter – Depending on how this works, it makes me feel better about Kay browsing through YouTube.
- Facebook Chat Now Available Everywhere – An interesting way to open up Facebook, a notoriously closed system. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have any of the specified mail clients, and even though GTalk is based on Jabber, I don’t see a way to put in the manual settings.
- Rise in solar activity all but certain to mess with GPS – Something to note as why we shouldn’t rely on GPS for anything particularly dangerous.
- Did the fathers of modern obstetrics murder more women than Jack the Ripper? – An interesting examination of an interesting historical paper.
- And As An Added Bonus, It Prevents The Apocalypse – I’m surprised Del. Cole is so eager to avert the End Times.
- Wiley Drake Hails Rep. Murtha’s Death – I have a hard time calling what Drake believes and what I believe both by the same name, “Christianity.” I find this abhorrent.
- Calling GOP Obstruction ‘Disgraceful,’ Reid Urges Obama To Recess Appoint ‘All’ Held-Up Nominees – I agree. He should definitely do it. If he lets the GOP obstruct the working of government more than he has to, then he is complicit in that obstruction.
- Twitter Uses BitTorrent For Server Deployment – Clever.
- via turnofthecentury. – “And then, after they were stuffed, we had them mounted to the wall …”
- Afraid Of Tea Partiers, Armey Withholds Support From McCain In Race Against ‘Undistinguished’ J.D. Hayworth – The long knives of conservative ideological conformity continue to be sharpened – and even Palin is not immune to them.
- LaBarbera Attacks Focus on the Family For “Selling Out” – It says something about one if you think Focus on the Family is “selling out” on conservative social issues.
- ‘They are unembarrassed’ – “Charging them [GOP leaders] with hypocrisy, appealing to their better, more practical, more ‘what’s best for the country’ patriotic angels is like trying to teach your dog to drive. It wastes a lot of time, it won’t work, and ultimately the dog comes out of the exercise less embarrassed for failing then you do for trying.”
- Is Google Reader Still an RSS Reader? – A cautionary note on Google Reader + Buzz. Though why one would follow 300 people with a single click and not expect some problems somewhere is beyond me.
- APOD: 2010 February 9 – Night Launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavour – Possibly the last night launch of a shuttle. Which makes me sad.
- Ben Nelson – Hypocritical Moron – I thought the GOP senators explicitly warning Obama, “Don’t you do a recess appointee thang!” was a recognition that he’s liable to do just that thing. And, y’know — I support him in that.
