Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Barber: Study Proves America Has Fallen Prey to Tyranny of an Aberrant Minority – Tell me again, Matt, how the gays are “tyrannizing” the straights? I mean, really? I mean, any state legislatures reaffirmed laws outlawing heterosexuality lately? Any straights being coerced into gay marriages? Straights being forbidden to adopt because of who they are sexually attracted to? Really, where is this “tyranny” of which you speak?
- Santorum: Health Care Reform Will Make You “Less Than What God Created You To Be” – There aren’t enough hours in the day to debunk every dolt. But Santorum’s statements are just filled with doltitudinousness.
- Racialized Abortion Campaigns and Rethinking Choice – “It’s not the parents who fail to care-about-the-children in America, it’s a government and its citizens that allow 1 in 5 to languish in poverty.” Yes.
- The Changing U.S. Food Supply – Some interesting trend details here. We’re eating more mozzarella! And fewer lima beans!
- Brand-new Commodore 64 – Ooooooh … I loved my C64 …
- Faux software interfaces in film – Most film computer interfaces would be nigh-impossible to actually work with, given how they cover the screen with flashing/twirling images with a few numbers in a giant box to show the answers.
- Justice Dept. to Congress: Don’t Saddle 4th Amendment on Us – If you keep the police from doing bad things, then they might not be able to do bad things under extreme hypothetical circumstances! Eek! Or, put another way, if you don’t have a convincing reason to search something, then you don’t have a convincing reason to search something, and you shouldn’t be allowed to search it? Is that so hard?
- Get Your Terrorist Alerts on Facebook and Twitter – Adding FB and Twitter are a good idea (the risk of accounts being hacked aside). I’d definitely keep the SMS side of things. And, of course, the more easily alerts can be issued, the greater the chance of false alarms. As demonstrated …
- It’s A Deal: Dems, Republicans Strike Spending Deal To Avoid Government Shutdown | TPMDC – Well, if you concede nearly everything, you can usually get a deal. At least if you’re Democrats.
- Douglas Bruce indicted for failing to pay taxes – The Denver Post – Why am I not surprised. (And, btw, congrats to the people of the Springs for NOT electing this dolt to the city council.)
