Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Forgotten aquatic parakeets once amazed with their bionic gills – That’s … disturbing.
- Alabama fan poisons two 130 year old trees at Auburn University – People can be real asshats.
- Boehner tries to walk back ‘so be it’ – We’re not “broke.” And if we are, there are a lot of ways to fix it other than zapping 800,000+ jobs.
- When the GOP’s ‘armies of compassion’ are sent packing – Yeesh.
- The Republican Nanny State Strikes Again – The Right seeks freedom from government interference in their lives. Everyone else’s lives, though, are a different matter.

- Governor Walker’s political sleight of hand – “This broadside comes less than a month after the state’s fiscal bureau — the Wisconsin equivalent of the Congressional Budget Office — concluded that Wisconsin isn’t even in need of austerity measures, and could conclude the fiscal year with a surplus. In fact, they say that the current budget shortfall is a direct result of tax cut policies Walker enacted in his first days in office.” So by cutting taxes, Walker creates an economic crisis, which then “requires” him to try and break the public employee unions. Classy!
- Civil unions would boost Colorado budget, UCLA says – The Denver Post – That’s all very nice … but that’s not the reason to do it. We should do it because it’s the right thing to do (at a minimum).
- Dirty GOP: The Republican Plan To Abolish The EPA – The EPA “interferes” with business. That’s all the excuse too many GOPers need to want it done away with.
