Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- NYT on holding ‘Republicans and particularly their most virulent supporters in the media responsible’ – Folks who favor less restrictive gun ownership will not see this as a sign that controls should be tightened, but that everyone should be encouraged to carry. “If Loughner had pulled out a gun and three people around him had been armed and able to shoot, we wouldn’t have had this tragedy.”
- Obama administration moves forward with unique internet ID for all Americans, Commerce Department to head system up – Not only sounds like a national ID system, but one that will be prone to all sorts of lovely identity theft. Do not want.
- The anti-government grammar of :David-Wynn: Miller – While being “not legally a person” might mean you can dodge taxes (if you follow the thinking), it might also mean that the government can do whatever it wants to you (it can anyway, but not legally). Doesn’t sound like a winning strategy.
- YouTube – The Brick Thief: A LEGO Short Film – While there’s a vague creepiness about it, it’s also cute. Plus it also demonstrates that, yes, Lego does actually make something other than model kits.
- The Final Hobbit Hurdle Has Been Cleared – Not that we haven’t heard that before …
- Ani – Ghost City of 1001 Churches – An amazing-looking place.
- 20 predictions for the next 25 years – I’ll be curious to see where this is correct — and wrong — as it turns out.
