Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Why did no one object to the “Pentagon mosque”? – War Room – Salon.com – THEY’RE EVERYWHERE, YOU KNOW!
- Star Wars Live-Action TV Show on Hold Again – Lucas is looking at re-re-re-re-rereleasing the originals in … 3-D? (facepalm)
- How to Launch a Space Shuttle in 4 minutes! [Starts With A Bang] – Very cool. And a crying shame.
- Would You Eat Lab-Grown Meat? – I think it will take a while to match the Real Thing, but I would certainly be willing to make the Real Thing the exception in my diet rather than the rule, if it were an adequate substitute.
- Rare Superman Comic Saves Home From Foreclosure – Just goes to show you, DON’T THROW OUT THOSE COMIC BOOKS, MOM!
- A simple plan to ruin your boss: plant child porn on his PC – I’m certainly no fan of child porn. I’m also no fan of witch hunts, and the immediate leaping to judgment that mere allegations can have is truly frightening.
- Opponent Of Cordoba House Is Building A Museum On Top Of A Muslim Cemetery In Jerusalem: Matt Duss
- Architects Of SB-1070 Looking At Challenging Historic Plyler Vs. Doe Decision – “It is difficult to understand precisely what the State hopes to achieve by promoting the creation and perpetuation of a subclass of illiterates within our boundaries, surely adding to the problems and costs of unemployment, welfare, and crime.” Not sure about the state, but it sounds like some folks are in a position to profit from it.
- Museum of Tolerance backer: No to WTC mosque – Crain’s New York Business – “Religious freedom does not mean being insensitive … or an idiot.” Actually, yes, it does. Or, rather, protection of religious freedom includes protecting those who are insensitive, or idiots, as well as those who are beautiful and beneficent.
- Destruction of the Death Star, more Cock-Up than Conspiracy « Last Hussar’s Barracks – Yeah, that sounds about right …
- Accidental Hedonist – The State of Our Beer Industry – What? I missed International Beer Day? What sort of socialistic SOBs schedule International Beer Day on a THURSDAY?!
- Gay Marriage and Interracial Marriage : Dispatches from the Culture Wars – Arguing over who’s been discriminated against more egregiously than whom is rarely useful (and, all too often plays indirectly into the hands of the discriminators). But this is an interesting perspective on some similarities and differences in comparing the two unjustly forbidden categories in the title.
- Adam Shah: Why did Reagan apologize to the SS? – Yeah, expect to hear this “Obama ‘apologized’ to the Japanese” thing making the rounds for years to come.
- Conservatives Against Religious Tolerance – Whether it’s religious prejudice, or fearmongering demagoguery, the reaction from the Right (and tepid counter-reaction from the Left) is disgusting.
- The (Possible) Mother of All Battles: What If a Conservative Supreme Court Justice Retires? – Political Hotsheet – CBS News – It would, indeed, be horrifically ugly.
