Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- What Kind of “Doctor” Is Marcus Bachmann?: William
- Man Loses Driver’s License – See, it’s problems like this they never mention when they’re selling soup-to-nuts big shiny govermental databases to the government (or the government to the taxpayers).
- DC Women Kicking Ass – Action Comics #1: the real cover – See, this is what’s killing me about the DCnU relaunch … it’s just sort of willy-nilly changing stuff, even big stuff, even big, recent stuff.

- Murdoch family divided as UK opposition leader calls News Corp dismantling – While I’m pleased by the karma that has all this crap raining down on Murdoch’s head, I worry a bit about some of the actions being used by hostile pols against less egregious businesses they don’t like.

- Middle-Man and the Debt Ceiling Debacle – SIGH
- Kiki or bouba? In search of language’s missing link – Words mean things, it seems … even when they’re meaningless.

- Velcro – Cool.
- Gene Robinson: “Christians Should Stay Away From Spiritual Arrogance” – Yup.

- What Happens When We “Dangerize” Childhood – Humans just aren’t very good at risk analysis.
- Cosmopolitan Magazine 1896 – 1976 – Interesting, watching the changes in cover design and content over the decades.
