Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Spread the Word — Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and Gene Patents – How the hell do you patent human genes?
- Why Fred Phelps’s Free Speech Rights Should Matter to Us All – Another example why the calumny that the ACLU is a “liberal/radical/leftist” organization is profoundly untrue. And, as loathesome as I find Phelps and his Gang of Family Idiots, if they don’t have the right to speak, nobody does.
- RWNJ’s Calling For Boycott Of Campbell’s For Making Halal-Certified Soup: Alan
- Giving the individual mandate real-world meaning – I believe I made this observation in my screed yesterday.
- The Original King of Irony Lives On – And yet, he seems to have made an amazing come-back in the GOP. what that says about the GOP I leave as an exercise for the reader.
- Senator Jim DeMint and Morality – NYTimes.com – Amen, Brother Nicholas.
- Random Book Blogging: Money, Greed and God – God is Ayn Rand. It’s now blindingly obvious to me. Or obviously blind. One or the other.
- Missouri Tea Partiers Campaigning Against Proposition Mandating Humane Conditions At Puppy Mills – They’re even against puppies …
- Newt Gingrich Believes Food Stamps Stimlulating The Economy Is “Liberal Math” – Dude, if even the Wall Street Journal accepts the math, give it a rest.
- A Revolution In Mobile Cup Holder Technology – Dunno if I’d call it a “revolution,” but it’s pretty cool.
- Stuxnet – I expect to see more things of this sort — regardless of the origins and targets of this particular instance — in the future.
- Neo-Cons: Don’t Touch Defense Spending! : Dispatches from the Culture Wars – Not to sound like that old Air Force Bake Sale bumper sticker, but, given our domestic needs … do we REALLY need to spend at Cold War levels on defense? Really?
- Technical Support Hell: Today I discovered an employee in my office sending Word docs via email by printing the document, scanning the pages, and emailing the scans. I don’t know where to start. – (Facepalm)
- Lou Dobbs’ Little Meg Whitman Problem – “The Nation also editorialized today that this latest revelation only adds more fuel to the arguments that immigrants, legal and undocumented, are so thoroughly integrated into our economy that those politicians who seek to scapegoat and demonize their work are almost alway engaging in hypocrisy. The piece argues that we must legalize and regulate this work, instead of demonizing the workers our society is thoroughly dependent on.” But … but … but … without evil, lazy, Welfare-sponging, American-decaptitating, job-stealing, anchor-babying illegals to demonize, we’d have to find someone else to demonize!
- So that’s why Koch funded a major evolution exhibit – “The fact that we could be knocked back to a stone age level of technology without going extinct is not a point in favor of welcoming global warming.” But think of the money-making opportunities! Especially if you cunning corner the shell and bead market ahead of time!
- Gap Already Admitting That New Logo Sorta Sucks – I vote for “crappy design work with quick, if cheesy, recovery attempt.”
