Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Santorum Says Criticism Of His Views On Homosexuality Is ‘An Act Of Bigotry’ | ThinkProgress – Santorum suffers from the curse of thinking his particular views are “normal” (and therefore “right”) in an era where they are ceasing to be the majority viewpoint. Thus, he doesn’t see himself as bigoted because, well, that’s been what he says “2,000 years of human history and Western civilization” have previously believed.
- Waffle House Index Measures Hurricane Recovery – WSJ.com – I’ll have to remember the Waffle House Scale.
- Elementary, My Dear Watsoon – Great. From the same mentality that brought you “Syfy,” we now get “Cloo.” I wonder why they didn’t go for “Slooth”? Stupid …
- Nokia goes on patent offensive, transfers patents to troll company – Lovely.
- It’s the magical, mystical changing JLI #1 cover! – DC’s handling of this relaunch has been just plain goofy. For something into which so much planning has supposedly gone, here’s yet another case where they changed their minds, a couple of times, after going public with info.
- Why you won’t be able to make your own Star Wars movie until 2072 | Blastr – I’m not sure that I’d be particularly eager to see a ton of derivative works from a public domain Star Wars … but I’m pretty sure that the continuing extension of copyright periods isn’t serving the purposes the Founders had in mind. I wonder why the Tea Partiers don’t get in a dudgeon about that?

The Waffle House’s planning is a great example of how planning can help you be a better member of the community and continue to make money at the same time. It’s capitalism at it’s best.
