Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Judson Phillips On Tucson Massacre: ‘The Left Benefits From This’ – They seem to be doing a great job of proving what they’re being accused of — intemperate, violent, and threatening speech.
- AZ Republicans Resign After Giffords Shooting, Citing Threats From Local Tea Partiers – “I love the Republican Party but I don’t want to take a bullet for anyone.” Sad. And scary. Not just for the individuals, but the country.
- Broken U.S. Senate Rules May Make It Impossible To Ever Confirm A Director Of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms – Sounds like a great opportunity for a recess appointment.
- The Sunday Morning Come to Jesus Moment on Second Amendment Solutions – “Here’s the real question, what exactly do these people think ‘Second Amendment Solutions’ are?”
- NOAA: 2010 goes down as a tie for warmest year on record: jtimmer@arstechnica.com (John Timmer)
- Thunderbirds is back, but will it have puppets? – I loved this show with a burning passion as a kid — and have the DVDs as an adult to prove it.
- Blood Libel – Stay classy and/or sane, Sarah!
- Five Easy Places to Recycle Your Old Gadgets and Computers [Environment] – Making a note for future reference.
- Is Blu-Ray an Inferior Format to DVD? – I haven’t used my new one enough to tell whether it’s markedly slower (because of the networking stuff) than my old DVD player, but that’s not my first impression. And it is, in fact, gorgeous.
- Trivia: Han Solo Appears in ‘Firefly’ – Fun.
- Who Will End This Madness? – “Only one side has made the rhetoric of armed revolt against an oppressive tyranny the guiding spirit of its grassroots movement and its midterm campaign. Only one side routinely invokes the Second Amendment as a form of swagger and intimidation, not-so-coyly conflating rights with threats. Only one side’s activists bring guns to democratic political gatherings. Only one side has a popular national TV host who uses his platform to indoctrinate viewers in the conviction that the President is an alien, totalitarian menace to the country. Only one side fills the AM waves with rage and incendiary falsehoods. Only one side has an iconic leader, with a devoted grassroots following, who can’t stop using violent imagery and dividing her countrymen into us and them, real and fake. Any sentient American knows which side that is; to argue otherwise is disingenuous.”
- Defensive Palin finally responds to Tucson massacre, attacks media – Blood libel? BLOOD LIBEL? Seriously, Sarah? Do you even know how that terms is used? Crikey.
- James Bond Comes Back To Movie Theaters In 2012 [Movies] – Cool. MGM seems to be getting past its money woes (largely by getting financing from other studios and giving them all or most of the proceeds).
- Paul Krugmann on Economic Morality and the Ideal Society – I think that sounds like a fine ideal. Almost Golden Ruleian.
