Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Railroad Crossing FAIL – Yeah, gotta careful you don’t scratch the paint on your hood …
- What does everyone want to know about their favorite star? – Apparently some people are very … curious? Concerned? Religious?
- Facebook | Official MemeShock Dictionary(4.0) *NEW AND IMPROVED! – Words mean things. Some folks seem to have too much time on their hands that they can come up with this variety of ideogically bent terminology.
- Leaders Make Better Liars – Actually, less “leaders” than “folks who feel powerful.” That explains a lot, though.
- Security Cameras in the New York City Subways – They cost money, they don’t work and … well, they don’t work, either. Brilliant.
- Amazing colour footage of an English road trip, August 1939… – It’s uncanny how real the color makes this film feel — like we’re looking out our window and seeing a collectable car club drive past, rather than this being the major highway north out of London in 8/39, 70 years ago.
- March Slideshow – Kate’s been doing a “photo a day” thang on her blog, and not only do I admire her diligence in doing so, she’s taking some great shots.
- Top Shelf Announces ‘League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1988” – ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews – I would so actually buy this.
- Emissions limits, greater fuel efficiency for cars, light trucks made official – washingtonpost.com – Excellent!
- Decorated liberal veterans – I suspect that a majority of members of the armed services are Republican. But it’s not as much a majority as one might think, and certainly not enough of one to engage in silly, insulting stereotypes, especially with as many counter-examples as there are.
- One of those weeks at the RNC – Bwah-ha-ha-ha-(snork)-ha-ha.
- Those imaginary IRS agents – (1) Hey, look at the lying liars lying some more. Idjits. On the other hand, (2) um, so if there’s no enforceable penalty … why would anyone feel compelled to comply if they didn’t want to?
- Joe. My. God.: Anti-Gay Group Threatens To Sue Feds Over Gay Marriage Census Count – If we pretend they don’t exist, maybe they’ll go away!
- Tea Partiers as “Tim McVeigh Wannabes”? – Um … yeah, I suspect some of them are, actually — but Hannity seems to think that’s a good thing.
- Concerned Women for America – Court Adds Insult to Injury – If someone suggested that a Christian church group protest march was being sued, I suspect the CWA would be right on the spot, defending their First Amendment rights to religious and political expression. Oh, but wait, the CWA has declared that Phelps & Co. aren't "real" Christians, so they feel free to take an opposite tack. It's so convenient when rights are tied to being (as you see it) "right." (Don't get me wrong — I am, amazingly, in alignment with the CWA as to the Phelpsies being despicable people and hardly in keeping with Christianity as I practice it. But, unlike them, I don't think that automatically disqualifies them from political rights I'd grant them if they were kind and saintly.)
