Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Looking for love in all the wrong places – Man, I hope there are folks asking this question.
- Ohio Republicans Announce They’ll Cut Medicaid To Fund… You Guessed It, More Tax Cuts! – Tax cuts uber alles.
- Garfield the Cat Makes the News – Oops. Also, Davis has comics in the can almost a year ahead? Yeesh.
- Italian Popular Gestures – I suppose I should take notes …
- Alabama Schools Paddle Kids With No Way For Parents To Opt-Out – Gee, if it’s decided that he’s a bad teacher, can he be paddled, too?
- AT&T fighting before Supreme Court to deny consumers class action lawsuits – But … but … aren’t corporations just big, lovable, free-speech-wielding people?
- Cats use gravity, inertia, gecko-like process to lap up cream – Very, very cool.
- Consumer Web Software Seeps Into the Workplace – Yup. Software and technology are now flowing from home to business, not the other way around.
- Thanksgiving warning: Deep-fried turkey a danger – This is focused almost exclusively on open flame / propane turkey fryers — which, yes, are dangerous if not handled well. I bought Margie an electric one some years ago, which avoids the open flame and lack of thermostat (but which can still cause problems if you put a wet or still partially frozen bird into it).
- Sex toy drive-thru: Alabama shop to offer window service | al.com – “Would you like that super-sized?”
- Amateur Photog captures grizzly chasing bison down highway in Yellowstone – Boing Boing – Wow. A pretty remarkable slide show. (And, yes, bears are fast — humans can’t out-run them.)
- FDA proposes graphic warnings on cigarette packs – The Denver Post – I’ve seen labels like this on overseas packages for years, far more gruesome than the rather staid, unobtrusive ones that US packages have had for years.

Dave: You can’t outrun a bear!
Me: Yup.
Dave: So why are we running?
Me: Because I just have to outrun YOU!
*rimshot* Shortly followed by me getting eating as my bum knee betrays me to the bear.
Yeah, the joke occurred to me as I was writing the comment. 🙂
