Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Jan Brewer Claims Beheadings ‘Come With Illegal Immigration’ – “Indeed, the fact that U.S. violent crime at the border has been steadily decreasing during the same time period that thousands of people were being kidnapped, murdered, and beheaded in Mexico attests more to just how secure the U.S.-Mexico border is.”
- Suburban Snapshots: Why Having a Toddler is Like Being at a Frat Party* – HA! And, yes.
- Attack of the Ninja Cat – Run! It’s the WHITE NINJA!
- ‘1776’ Revisited: The Conservatives Are Still ‘Cool, Cool Considerate Men’ – Okay, so I so need to play this movie during our Independence Day soiree. It’s a faboo stage production adopted, a bit awkwardly, for the screen. (It’s also worth noting, ultimately, that progress is only made with the Declaration through consideration and compromise — most notably regarding the slavery clause in the DoI.)
- ZombieFit classes- can they help you survive the coming zombie apocalypse? – Those all sound like workout things that would be helpful for me, zombies or no.
- BBC News – Three-legged dogs aid robot study – That’s very cool.
- Oh. My. God. The Southern Lights (aurora australis) photograp… on Twitpic – That’s … awesome.
- Masterpiece: Robotron 2084 – One of my faves from that era.
- Update: SS United States saved from the scrapper (for now) – Boing Boing – Huzzah!
- Out-of-town guests dropping in? Where will you take them to eat? – The Denver Post – Making notes …
- Sprite brigade steps up as slurry bombers retire – The Denver Post – I’m sure the free market will step up and take care of this problem! Perhaps individual neighborhoods, if they chose, could pitch in to buy a slurry bomber time share!

Not having seen the entire show, and only bits and pieces of it on YouTube, I think haing it on tomorrow to be a capital idea.
You have never seen 1776?! (Boggles)
