Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Still the right’s favorite fake historian – Barton’s a dolt — and the Right’s embrace of him because he says things they want to hear only hurts their already fragile grip on reality.
- ‘He’s made me a little uncomfortable here recently’ – Yikes.
- Obsidian Wings: What Is Best In Academic Freedom, Cronon? Not To Crush Your Enemies – Well, some good news here (beyond the labored pun).
- Then and now: Capitalism vs. Labor 1883, and today – Fun, except that it’s not Capitalism per se, but Monopoly. Which, unfortunately, describes too much of today’s consolidated, amalgamated, bought-out, too-big-to-fail capitalism.
- Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal Proposes Massive Tax Cuts For The Rich, Big Tax Hikes for Middle Class – Sigh.
- Radical Pastor Terry Jones Says He’s Considering ‘A Trial On The Life Of Mohammed’ – Dolt.
- 25 Mind-Blowing Aerial Photographs Around the World – I wouldn’t say mind-blowing, but certainly worth a look-see.
- More Fun With Urban Renewal, Republican-Style – Trying to think of what sort of “blight” could be argued for Glendora …
- Joseph Stiglitz: The Fate of The Top 1% Is Bound Up With How The Other 99% Live – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” isn’t just a moral advice, it’s a sociological law. When those at the top abuse those at the bottom, and the bottom gets big enough, they inevitably abuse the top back. We’ve become so short-sighted as a society, though, even at the top, that everyone figures it will never happen here. It has. And it will.
- Death and taxes: Paul Campos
- Goldman CEO sees pay double in 2010 – Nice work, if you can get it.
- Pity Poor GOP Congressman Duffy-and Poster Child for Birth Control-Struggling to Get By on $174,000 Per Year : Mike the Mad Biologist – Or, put another way, if Rep. Duffy, in the top 5% of income in the country, is having a hard time … what does that say about the other 95% making less than he? And how should that be informing his vote?
- Statue Removed from French Town for Being Too Well Endowed – Bust busted for busting-out bust. (C’mon, someone had to say it.)
- Husband plays funny fake news prank on his wife – Trust, but verify. Especially on April 1st.
- Stonekettle Station: The Sunday Morning Come to Jesus Moment on Second Amendment Solutions – This is a few months old (dealing with the Gifford assassination attempt), but it’s got some very nice discussion about what “Second Amendment Solutions” really mean.
