Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved – Well, not solved, but it certainly sounds like a much more plausible theory than most …
- New solar energy conversion process discovered – If it pans out commercially, this could be seriously big.
- Obama DNI: We can kill you at will; Treasury Dept: And we can punish your lawyers – If there is one area where the Obama adminstration has disappointed most, it’s the continuance and furthering of his predecessor’s national security apparatus.
- When David Boies destroyed Tony Perkins on ‘Face the Nation’ – See, it’s easy for the Right to simply launch ad hominem attacks against Judge Walker, or huff and puff about the “will of the people” — but the simple matter is that, in a trial to defend the constitutional and rational basis for California’s Prop. 8, the defendants simply could not do it. No evil conspiracy, no activist judges — the folks who claimed to have the rock solid case that Teh Gayz are EVIL simply couldn’t do it.
- A Message From the Am***can F**ily A**ociation – Wow — if the Wildmon’s had such an incredibly effective filter on their PCs, one wonders how they ever spotted the n**ghty pictures. Or, conversely, why they don’t have those sorts of filters at the AFA’s offices …

The first is to regulate and restrict parking (by forcing turn-over of valuable curb-side parking). The second is to generate revenue. Unfortunately, more and more it seems the former is giving way to the latter.
- The new Torchwood reboot gets a title (and a plot synopsis from Russell T. Davies) [Breaking News] – Woot!
- Wikipedia’s Lamest Edit Wars – Wikipedia is a grand and beautiful thing. And, like any product of a committee, it’s got some pretty silly aspects.
- Who does Google know that you know? – This is more than a bit fascinating. A world-wide web indeed.
- Ted Olson To Chris Wallace On Marriage Equality: ‘Would You Like Fox’s Right To Free Press Put Up To A Vote?’ – Tempting …
- Study: Contemporary Mosques Are A Deterrent To The Spread Of Terrorism – It’s almost like some of the anti-mosque yahoos actually WANT a violent confrontation and cultural clash with Islam …
