Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- A series of layered deceptions – “But the bottom line remains the same: Karl Rove and his fellow GOP hatchetmen are raking in obscene amounts of undisclosed money, using it to lie to voters, all the while lying about the campaign finance fiasco that’s allowing them to buy an election cycle.”
- Walmart Removes Lead-Tainted Toys From Shelves, But Only In California – That’s because they only have to post warnings about it in California …
- Instant Heart Rate for Android uses your phone camera to… tell you your heart rate – Cool.
- You can’t commit rape within marriage, says head of UK Islamic Sharia Council – Noted with disgusted (and with the observation that there are Christian leaders who have professed the same repulsive sentiment).
- Ken Buck Takes on a “Lemon Situation” – I had not heard the abortion aspect to this tale before. Which makes it even more despicable.
- Barbarity in Italy [Pharyngula] – Certainly barbaric. In civilized countries, we simply kick such disobedient women to the curb (and suggest that they probably shouldn’t be allowed to teach in school). (Note: I am not arguing for a moral equivalency in the actions, but the motivations and control mentality are not dissimilar.)
- Over A Million Jobs Lost In Districts Where Pro-Outsourcing Chamber Advertises: George Zornick
- Double Standard: Fox Fear Mongers About ‘Ground Zero Mosque’s’ Foreign Funding, But Defends The Chamber’s – But that’s because our shadowy, secretive foreign financiers are all Good Guys! We promise! Cross our hearts!
- Insightful Colorado Billboard Contends There Are Four Obamas – “Here is the grand unifying theory of Obama for wingnuts. Look, they never have to fight anymore about whether Obama is a Muslim terrorist, a Chicago gangster, a Messican illegal immigrant, or a flamboyant gay. He’s all four of those things, because there are secretly four Obamas! THAT’S how Obama can hijack airplanes in New York and have anal sex with a dude in San Francisco at the same time.” Crikey. I apologize on behalf of anyone in my state with two functioning brain cells to rub together.
- Douchiest rock band ever blocks LA freeway in publicity stunt – Wow. I supsect they were lucky the CHP got there before they were beaten by the folks held up by them.
- Marco’s Coal-Fired Pizza named one of the nation’s best pie palaces in the country by American Way magazine – Denver Restaurants and Dining – Cafe Society – Maybe whilst the ‘rents our out this week we’ll hit the one just opened over at I25/Dry Creek.
- Religion And The Beating Of Homosexuals – The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan – Yes, if only those pushy homosexuals would stop insisting on (and achieving) rights, then they wouldn’t get (“deplorably”) beaten. Thank you, Cardinal Ratzinger.
