Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- YouTube – THUNDERCATS TRAILER FROM WONDERCON 2011 – Ooooh. Not too shabby.
- News Anchor Pulls off a Great April Fools’ Prank on Unsuspecting Co-Anchor – HA!
- Prosecution Complex | Missoula Independent – Stay classy, Montana!
- New Car Engine Sends Shock Waves Through Auto Industry : Discovery News – Cool …
- Senators ask Holder for more pornography prosecutions – Josh Gerstein – POLITICO.com – The economy is struggling, we’re fighting three wars, our civil rights are eroding, the rich are getting richer, the global climate is veering off-course … and 42 Senators are worried that the Justice department isn’t filing enough obscenity cases? Crikey.
- Denver to eliminate diagonal crossings at intersections – The Denver Post – That’s a shame. As someone who takes advantage of the “Barnes Dance” (or “criss-crosswalks” as I’ve also heard them called), it’s a shame to see them go. On the other hand, I’m glad it’s because light rail ridership is up so much.
- Kinsolving Baffled by Idea of Equality : Dispatches from the Culture Wars – It really does seem to be a blind spot among some, just like Freedom of Religion not meaning just the religions you’re comfortable with, or Freedom of Speech not just meaning speech you agree with.
- Service Chiefs Testify They Have Not Run Into Problems In Implementing DADT Repeal – But! But! They didn’t stick to the script!
- Fox News Misreports Poll Numbers To Claim That Most Americans Don’t Want GOP To Compromise On Budget – Once again, truly proving themselves to be Faux News.
- ThinkProgress » Extreme Warming Forces Climate Scientists To Add Hot Pink To Temperature Map – Pink?! That must mean global warming is not just an EVIL ATHEIST ONE-WORLDER SCIENTIST PLOT, but an EVIL ATHEIST ONE-WORLDER GAY SCIENTIST PLOT!
- Real information and actual facts – “For all of that time, the poor have, indeed, always been with us — the living proof of our perpetual, perennial moral failure.”
- David Prosser, JoAnne Kloppenburg Face Unexpected Twist In Wisconsin Supreme Court Election – Um … wow. I guess, along with all those palm trees, they have plenty of bananas in that republic …
- Barton: “Anything The Bible Talks About Should Not Be Considered Secular” – Yes, did you know that building codes are from the Bible? (And therefore, one assumes, churches ought to be in charge of building inspections.)
- Federal Web sites may go dark in shutdown | Privacy Inc. – CNET News – To be fair, it doesn’t sound like, in most cases, they have to. Except that, presumably, the web and server staff won’t be available, so it’s probably “safest” to shut them down “elegantly.”
- Disinterested or uninterested? How long we should cling to a word’s original meaning. – I am appalled that “hoi polloi” has changed its meaning.
- (UPDATE: He’s gone) Wisconsin GOP Governor’s inexperienced $81,500 new-hire is demoted – Stay classy, Scott!
- GE Will Build the United States’ Largest Solar Panel Factory – Cool.
