Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- “The Money’s Flowing,” But From Where? – But that’s not really money! That’s (corporate) FREE SPEECH! Right?
- Voter Suppression Plan Uncovered in Wisconsin – “Trying to win an election by getting fewer people to vote is a desperate move, and far from the spirit of democracy.” Which is why the GOP and the Right keep doing it.
- A Reasoned Debate on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell: Miranda
- In defense of extraneous amendments – The GOP hypocritically criticizing a procedural move they’ve used eleventy-dozen times themselves? Inconceivable!
- Matt Kane: When American Exceptionalism Should Be Absolute: Matt Kane

- Thundarr the Barbarian: 4-DVD Release of ‘The Complete Series’ Available Next Week…But Online Only – Ookla! Ariel! RIIIIIIDE!
- A Challenge To Republicans: Here’s What Reducing The Deficit Through Large Spending Cuts Looks Like – Option 4 for the (GOP) win!
- Being Gay in the Military is a “Private Hell” Under DADT – Sorry, folks – tales of personal sadness and love must always be trumped by the Ick Factor in some people’s minds.
- With Just 40 Votes, Republicans Block Debate Over Defense Authorization Bill – So the GOP is willing to block the defense authorization bill in the Senate for the first time since 1952, all out of base’s fear of Teh Gayz and the “moderate”s’ outrage at procedure. Nice.
- On the Other Hand: Sometimes (Parental) Silence is Golden – I heartily approve, especially if the cowbells are kept home, too.
- Joe. My. God.: CALIFORNIA: Beer Sellers Oppose Marijuana Legalization Bill – “Unless the beer distributors in California have suddenly developed a philosophical opposition to the use of intoxicating substances, the motivation behind this contribution is clear.”
- New Google transparency tool shows gov requests, blocked traffic – Well done, Google.
- Twitter To Serve Targeted Promoted Tweets Based On Who You Follow – I’m willing to put up with some ads (servers don’t pay for themselves, after all) so long as (a) they are clearly ads, (b) their noise doesn’t obstruct the signal.

Favorite moment: when the happy adventurers went back to Ookla’s home and we discovered he was named for UCLA.
This entire series is one long add for Gamma World ™. And I lurves it sooo much! Too bad the animation is teh suxxors.
Yeah, pretty bad/limited animation, but Jack Kirby designs and post-apocalpytic barbarian tech-magic warfare is always faboo.
It was only the involvement of Steve Gerber that drew me to the show at all. Even then, I was never really a fan.
