Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Zombie ABCs – This one’s for De …
- Colorado lawmaker plans to introduce civil-unions bill – The Denver Post – Good.
- Yahoo Shutting Down Delicious, Buzz, Other Services | News & Opinion | PCMag.com – Yikes. I don’t use any of these (and am glad I don’t), but, still, these are not no-name services.
- Durbin: The $1.1 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill Is ‘Exactly The Number’ McConnell Asked For – I could hug Dick Durbin.
- Hatch Falsely Claims Jobless Benefits Last ‘Well Over 100 Weeks’ And Keep People Unemployed Longer: Alex Seitz-Wald

- What Caffeine Actually Does to Your Brain [Video] – I love the java jive, and it loves me!
- Forget Christmas — It’s Already Easter At Kroger – Yeesh.
- Blake Edwards, a Master of Film Comedy and Farce, Dies at 88 – NYTimes.com – We watched “The Great Race” the other evening. A man of many talents.

- Some (Non-Mainstream) Thoughts on the Crib Recall – “These products are not deadly. There’s a difference between a deadly product (cyanide) and a product that sometimes results in death (a grape).
