Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Gay marriage causes no harm to traditional marriage, study finds « Iowa Independent – Amazingly enough, not only does there not seem to be any harm to “traditional” marriages in Iowa since gay marriage was allowed (divorce is actually down), but (gasp!) most gays and lesbians seem to have marriages that are as conventional (if not boring) as straights do.
- DORK TOWER, Wednesday, September 8, 2010 – Ha!
- Dallas Animefest 2010 Fancy Comic
- Sliders – RLC September / 08 / 2010 – I’ve yet to see a female “chest” slider that created anything that looked actually (a) realistic or even (b) attractive. And I say that as someone with an intense aesthetic interest in that part of the female anatomy.
- No Escape – Yeah, we all know the jokes. And, yeah, they’re not really funny. Not really.
- The Affordable Care Act Did Not Cause Unjust Premium Increases | The White House – Expect to here more claims by the Right about this. My first thought when I read the news about proposed premium increases was … they’ve been raising premiums that way for years, but suddenly its’s the ACA’s fault?
- Graph of the Day – It makes you wonder why anyone would vote for a Republican presidential candidate — especially if you’re middle income or lower.
- NRCC forgets which party requested, approved of Wall Street bailout – No, they didn’t forget. They figure the Big Lie will make the voters forget.
- Infrastructure will likely have to wait – So because the GOP will make it difficult, and will likely keep it from passing, the Dems aren’t going to push it? It sounds like a great campaign item — “You know those potholes in the streets, the highway that needs widening, the bridge you’re worried about crossing every day? We want to spend the money to fix those things. The GOP would rather stall and fight to to spend twelve times as much to give extended tax cuts to the rich? Who are you going to vote for?” Sounds like a winning argument to me.
- Barton Assures Fischer that Beck “Absolutely” Opposes Gay Marriage – He must be right, because for a few minutes Beck sounded positively lucid.
- Fischer: Muslims Know They Need Christians To Keep Them From Killing Each Other – Bryan Fischer is a dolt.
- Judge Dismisses Religious Right Lawsuit Challenging Hate Crimes Legislation – Notice how folks keep claiming every US law that protect gays is going to end with Christians in jail? And each time it doesn’t? Funny, ennit?
- Koch-Funded Oil Rally Calls Global Warming A ‘Hoax,’ Dismisses Oil Spill, And Attacks Democrats – Cheap-labor conservatives going after short-term profits — because who cares what the world’s like after you’re dead?
- Phineas and Ferb Wiki – Your Guide to Phineas and Ferb – See — this is what the Internet should be all about — geektastic stuff that makes me HAPPY.
- GOP Claims $50 Billion For Infrastructure Is Too Pricey, While Pushing $800 Billion Tax Cut For The Rich – Can you say, “conflict of interest”?
- GOP House Candidate On Civil Rights: ‘We Need To Get Our Federal Government Out Of The Way’ – Remember — these are your (potential) congresscritters.
- Top Republicans Silent On Hate Pastor’s Planned Quran Burning Event – There’s a shocker. (Though, for what it’s worth, I think it’s more out of fear of their “base” than support of Rev. Jones.)
- 9/11 Is A Cottage Industry For Conservatives – Ch-ching!

With respect to the ‘sliders’ – no matter how large you make them on screen, you never get to touch them!
They way some of them look, who’d want to?
Re: Phineas and Ferb
The guy who voices Ferb played Liam Neeson’s character’s kid in “Love, Actually”. And the girl who played his love interest did some guest shots on the show too.
It’s a pretty cool cast (with some remarkable guest voices).
Watching several of them at the SDCC (esp. the two producers — who also do Doofenshmirtz and Major Major — the kid who does Phineas) was a lot of fun, esp. when they answered in their “voices.”
