Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Christie Attacked By Right-Wing Bloggers For Appointing Muslim Judge: ‘He’s In Bed With The Enemy’ – Christie has done a lot of asinine things. This is not one of them, esp. as it exposes (again) the sort of vitriolic knee-jerk anti-Islam bias from so many on the Right. Dolts.
- Why You Shouldn’t Check Your Email First Thing in the Morning [Email] – Tempting. But, then, I sort of NEED to know “what fires need to be put out.” That’s why they’re considered fires.
- Awesome & Creative Sticky Notes – Fun!
- Another look at soap and science – I’ll … keep washing with soap. But, yeah, washing (even without soap) is better than not.
- Universal Remotes – NYTimes.com – We, too, have all our current remotes in a bowl on the coffee table. Usually only one is needed at a time, so it’s not that big a deal. But, yeah, I’d love something that did it all.
- The Love Affair With the Fireplace Cools – NYTimes.com – We use our wood fireplace probably 3-4 times a year. It makes us happy.
- Justices Uphold Background Checks – NYTimes.com – Note: I work for a government contractor. Yikes. Plus: extra-special bonus Scalia zaniness!
- Walmart Reveals Details of Quest to Cut the Nation’s Waistline: Less Sugar, Sodium, Trans Fat – Walmart doing something … good …? No, no, it must be a way to cut prices and deprive the sweatshop children of Asia of their nutritious fruits and vegetables.
- Increasing concerns GOP will shut down entire fed govt to stop health care reform – Oh … boy … time for some more blood pressure medicine.
- Founding Fathers Would Have Supported Government-Run Health Care Paid By Mandatory Tax – Now, to be sure, Adams (and his Congress) passed some other laws that would be considered unconstitutional today (see: Alien & Sedition Acts), but I'll be curious to see if this this other action on their part gets any play during the coming ludicrous court cases.
- Bring on the stupid: promoting health is killing people – “Eating vegetables and talking a walk didn’t used to be a political act in this country, but I guess it is now.” Indeed, healthy eating and exercise used to be considered patriotic and laudable. Now they’re signs of the Socialist Apocalypse Caused By The Wife Of That Non-American Muslim Atheist In The White House. Yeesh.
- New Type Of Memory Could Boot Your Computer Instantly [Science] – Oooooh …
- The 30,000-Year-Old Cave That Descends Into Hell [Video] – Cooool …
- Texting Woman Who Fell Into Fountain May Sue Mall – (Rolls eyes.) If the worse thing that happens here is a bit of embarrassment, she’s getting off easy.
- Apple “screwing” new iPhones out of simple DIY repair – Stay classy and open, Apple!
