Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Christine Schwen: Beck thinks Goldline scandal is a joke – Go, Rodeo Clown, go!
- Much will be asked – I’ve never encountered anyone who mentioned their Mensa membership who didn’t diminish in my eyes for doing so.
- The dominant hand – (Long) money graf: “Not to get all Niemoller-y, but once a right is denied to any group, it ceases to be a right even for those groups for whom it has not yet been denied, becoming instead a mere privilege. Privileges are much weaker, much more fragile things than rights. ‘Rights for me but not for thee’ is not a sustainable situation. Either rights will be extended to all, or else they’re not really rights. And if they’re not really rights, but merely privileges, they may be rescinded at any time, for any reason. White Arizonans may think they’ve created a situation in which only the Hispanic minority will be regarded as guilty until proven innocent, but really their screw-the-Hispanics legislation means they’re all screwed.”

If that means that the majority do unpleasant things to the minority … well, the sophisticates amongst the majority will sadly disagree with their fellows.
- BP CEO Hayward Bets On ‘Very, Very Modest’ Impact From Disaster – So after BP lied about its ability to handle an oil spill (let alone about whether such a spill could occur), we should trust them as to what the impact is going to be?
- McCain: Enforce Immigration Laws On Undocumented Workers, But Not On Businesses That Hire Them – Because it’s far easier, more expedient, and politically popular to try and block the supply than regulate the demand — at least when the demand are big contributors.
- Every Android Device, on Video – Google has done an amazing job of getting Android phones from multiple manufacturers, for multiple carriers, in multiple countries. Some consider that a weakness. I think it’s a strength.
