Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- ‘Bye bye, Big Bird. Hello, e. coli!’ – Ah, the e. coli conservatives — striving to bring back “The Jungle” since … well, “The Jungle.”
- Colorado sanctuary to take lions rescued from Bolivian circuses – The Denver Post – Kay visited here with her Girl Scout troop a few months back. Sounded like a cool place.
- National Marriage Week: Married Families Are Healthier | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News. – Conservatives — Bryan Fischer among them — are reporting this story, without irony, as somehow “proof” that gay marriage is wrong … without realizing that there’s nothing being reported here that has anything to do with gender, but only about societally-recogized, -sanctioned, and -supported legal and social commitments between couples leading to healthier and happier individuals. Which sounds like a GREAT reason to support gay marriage.
- Tea Party Patriots Investigated: “They Use You and Abuse You” – Yeah, here’s a shock — the TP folks getting the most press and prominence in Washington are looking less and less like TPers and more and more like the establishment (cue final scene of “Animal Farm”).
- Why Men Are Sloppy Kissers – Songs aside, a kiss is not just a kiss.
- Colorado National Bank Hotel Conversion Underway – Very glad to see this project continuing, and this classic building preserved.
- The real Internet censors: unaccountable ISPs? – It’s always easier when the government doesn’t have to get involved.
- 500 – It’s 10:15 in Germany. Do You Know Where Your Isoglosses Are? | Strange Maps | Big Think
- Fischer and the AFA Try To Weasel Out Of Their Latest Outrage – “So let me get this straight: the AFA lured Fischer away from the Idaho Values Alliance, named him director of Issue Analysis for Government and Public Policy, gave him a two hour daily program on its radio network, and allows him to appear in print, on TV, and at right-wing events as a representative of AFA … but we are supposed to believe that when he writes posts for the AFA blog, he is just speaking for himself and that his views should in no way be seen as a reflection on the organization?”
- Joseph and the Appalling Tyrannical Despot – Some sage words to Christians on confronting problematic passages in the Bible, rather than either ignoring or trying to justify them.
