Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Boehner’s deregulation agenda – “The Republican agenda of the 21st century — start with a base of Bush/Cheney, throw in a heaping tablespoon of Tom DeLay, and add just a pinch of the John Birch Society. Heat to a boiling point and serve.”
- Boehner: Only Regulate in “Emergencies” – “To summarize: Boehner went to a meeting with industry lobbyists and came away with the idea to let those industries avoid all new government regulation…until AFTER that lack of regulation has created a disastrous situation that can be classified as an emergency.”
- DIY summer bracelets – Ah, the Joy of Lanyards …
- Montana Pole Dancer (from the USGS) : Greg Laden’s Blog – Do not try this at home. Or, maybe more importantly, DO NOT TIP!
- The New York Times Goes Nuts, Says The Government Should Regulate Google’s Search Algorithm – “If Google thinks promoting its own products can help it make money, while maintaining a search product that people want to use, and that third-parties want to promote in their browsers, sites, and apps, that isn’t an antitrust problem, it’s a great business model.”
- Why voters are angry in one graph – A rising tide swamps all ships.
- Peter Fernandez, Voice of Speed Racer, Dies at 83 – Obituary (Obit) – NYTimes.com – RIP, Speed.
- Right Wing Apoplectic That Montana School Is Teaching Tolerance, Safe Sex, And Anti-Bullying Measures – As noted, “Hannity, O’Reilly, Ingraham, and many right-wing conservatives actually have no problem imposing values onto students — as long as they’re the values they champion, as found in programs like abstinence-only education.” Nor do they have problems with Christian-based values and theology being taught. But heaven forbid that third grades be told it’s not right to call kids they don’t like “faggot.”
- Beck asks Americans to put God in charge | The Salt Lake Tribune – I actually take my faith and my patriotism very seriously. I just don’t conflate the two, nor do I assume that those who don’t are actually Atheist Marxist Tyrants out to destroy both God and Country.
