Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- NYT: Only ‘Liberal Critics’ Call AFA A Hate Group – But remember, we all know we have a “liberal media” …
- Reid Raises Prospect Of Not Appointing Anyone To Super Committee If Republicans Remain Intransigent – I still predict we’ll end up with three no-taxes Republicans, two moderate Dems, and one Blue-Dog Dem. So the GOP will win. Again.
- Scientists confirm evidence of liquid water on the surface of Mars – Cool!

- Color video from Hiroshima – Boing Boing – “The US Military may have successfully covered up video that showed the brutality of atomic warfare, but, in the intervening years, we saw the brutality of war (in general) in Vietnam and we saw what acute radiation poisoning can do the human body in Chernobyl. Secrets don’t stay buried even when secrets stay buried.”
- mental_floss Blog » Who Was General Tso? – He was certainly no chicken.
