Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Have you seen him? (Boing Boing Flickr Pool) – Boing Boing – Heh.
- Palin Slams Michelle Obama Again, This Time For Anti-Obesity Campaign – So the Right preaching on morality and teaching religion in schools is all-around Americanism, but the First Lady tries to educate about childhood obesity, that’s “not trusting parents to make decisions for their own children.” Got it, Sarah.
- E coli conservatism isn’t going away – Sen. Coburn is disingenuous, nuts, or both.
- Only Glenn Beck truly understands the TSA – Yeesh.
- Remember the GOP’s earmark ban? – I don’t ding the GOP in particular on this, except that they’re the ones who have made such a public huff about the practice (without any consideration of whether it’s fitting or worthwhile, and without any actual, you know, interest in actually following through with their resolution).
- U.S. to Ottawa: WikiLeaks release may hurt relations – CTV News – Hmmm. We’ve all learned in the business world that you should never put anything in email that you wouldn’t want to see thumbtacked up to the break room bulletin board. And we’ve all been learning that you shouldn’t put any pictures in Facebook that you wouldn’t want your mother to see. WikiLeaks seems to be driving that lesson home to governments, too.
- Calvin and Hobbes for November 24, 2010 – Biting my tongue to avoid tainting C&H with political observations …
- Parental Chat – RLC for November / 24 / 2010 – Amen, brother.
- Pam Geller: Park51 Is ‘The Second Wave Of The 9/11 Attack’ – “Obviously, the violent jihad, the academic jihad, the sociological jihad, the cultural jihad, the academic jihad, we have been infiltrated at the senior level of the DOD.” And none dare call it doltishness.
- Beck And FreedomWorks Campaign Against Fred Upton: ‘Light Bulbs Are Just The Beginning’ – Sheer lunacy. And destructive lunacy at that.
- Florida Woman Dies After Medicaid Program Outsourced To Private Insurers Denies Her Liver Transplant – Because, of course, a for-profit firm that is incented to minimize costs will be sure to provide the best and most appropriate medical care to all! The free market rules! If Ms. Wilson didn’t like it, she should have shopped around for another Medicare program to participate in!
- Right Wing Continues to Push “Socialist Pilgrims” Myth – Gee, I remember when the story used to be that it was gentleman farmers coming over who didn’t want to work and expected to find gold and jewels lying about that almost led to colonial failure. Now, mysteriously, it’s morphed into a “failure of socialism.” How revolutionary!
- Repeat after me: cell phones don’t cause brain cancer – Of all the things to worry about …
- How to Identify and Resist Manipulative Sales Pitches – Consider. Then reconsider. Then price-compare.
- Sarah Palin Says We Need To Stand With Our North Korean Allies – You know, I used to joke about Dubya being incoherent. Palin makes him sound like Olivier.
