Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Space Nazis! I Hate Those Guys – Oooooh …
- 1B1T – DORK TOWER, Monday, May 17, 2010 – I need to reread American Gods some time.
- Literary Dystopias – SMBC May 17, 2010 – Yeah … definitely more likely (sigh).
- Sex Lives of Supreme Court Justices | The Atlantic Wire – HA!
- How Students Learn by Daniel Luzer | Washington Monthly – I think the “learning style” (auditory, visual, kinesthetic) thang is probably overrated as a be-all/end-all of how to learn or teach, but I think anecdotally we can all think of cases where someone “got” a particular concept when the approach was changed.
- Matthew Yglesias » Save $90 Billion By Malnourishing Children – Let’s see how many Republicans run with this idea from the Cato Institute.
- Gingrich Says Religious Leaders Who Supported Health Care Reform Are Socialists – “Anti-religious bigotry for me, but not for thee.”
- Financial Times chickens out, refuses to run Amnesty’s anti-Shell Oil ad – The truth hurts … when people get to hear it.
- Insane, Even By Birther Standards – I think these guys are, themselves, Right-wing plants to make folks like Beck and Gingrich look positively sane by comparison.
- Limbaugh: “Our guys resign” when they are caught having affairs | Media Matters for America – Except, of course, a bunch of them don’t.
- EFF Adds Tens of Thousands of Pages to Government Document Archive – This rocks. Transparency is, by almost by definition, the only way you can run a democracy.
- Cantor’s YouCut targets TANF Emergency Fund – Money graf: “But like most Republican gimmicks, this has nothing to do with what’s real, and everything to do with what Cantor and his cohorts can get people to believe.”
- GOP again blocks higher cap on oil company liability – I think making this a campaign issue is an excellent idea for the Democrats.
- Alabama Teacher Gives Geometry Lesson Using Assassination As Example | TPM LiveWire – Mindboggling. That said, I’d love to hear some formal comments on this from some of the “Obama is a Nazi out to destroy America and kill all our babies” punditry.
- WI-Gov Candidate Comes Out Against AZ Law, Immediately Backtracks | TPM LiveWire – Bold Leadership caves to Mob Mentality. Film at 11.
- Rep. Souder Resigning Over Reported Affair … With Woman In Abstinence Video – I see — he’s not resigning because he’s a ghastly hypocrite, or even because he’s a sinner who feels the need to pay for his transgressions, but because he’s afraid the “Washington” atmosphere will hurt his family over what he’s done. That’s downright holy of you, Rep. Souder. (That he did it with a staff member who introduces him in an abstinence video is just icing on the cake.)
- Gingrich Publishes Book Arguing Obama Poses Hitler-Like Threat – Remind me again why anyone is still paying attention to Newt Gingrich?
- Power outlets for coach airline passengers tough to come by – USATODAY.com – I think I’ve encountered power outlets in a coach flight I’ve been on — maybe three times in my life, including the international travel I’ve done. I wouldn’t upgrade to a higher class for it, but I’d certain give an airline favorable consideration if they had it freely available. (Of course, given the number of times I’ve had the person in front of me slump all the way back upon takeoff, making it impossible to use a notebook on my tray, I may not be missing much.)

Yep, saw the second Iron Sky teaser last friday before heading out and forgotten about it. It’s looking better and better.
Also, if you want, go to their website and show your support for the movie or buy something so they can finish it. 🙂
