Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Sun over the yardarm – Wikipedia – For some reason, this topic just came up …
- Sears To Start Selling Craftsman Tools Through Costco – A smart move on their part, as I doubt it will hurt sales at Sears stores.
- COBRA Subsidies Expire, Leaving Unemployed To Scramble For Healthcare – Well, obviously, now that the COBRA money has run out, these slackers will get motivated and find jobs again!
- Man faces 75 years for recording police – Hopefully the judge is reading his legal newspapers. And, dear Illinois Attorney General, please get stuffed.
- Feeble President, Feeble Plans – Sigh.
- First Grader handcuffed for misbehaving in class – Yeesh.
- The 5 Most Depraved Sex Scenes Implied by ‘Harry Potter’ | Cracked.com – Heh.
- Why won’t the government tell us the truth? PROOF OF A COVER UP! « Stupid Evil Bastard – Those who deny the conspiracy … are obviously part of the conspiracy!
- Banks Still Fabricating Documents One Year After Robo-Signing Scandal Broke | ThinkProgress – What these guys fail to understand is that society (and property, and business) only exist in a civil fashion if everyone trusts the process and the documents that back up claims. If they squander too much of that trust, then they have the most to lose.
- WikiLeaks: Iraqi children in U.S. raid shot in head, U.N. says | McClatchy – “At the time, American military officials in Iraq said the accounts of townspeople who witnessed the events were highly unlikely to be true, and they later said the incident didn’t warrant further investigation. Military officials also refused to reveal which units might have been involved in the incident.”
- Florida sued for ticketing motorists who warn others of speed traps – Here’s hoping for a big win against the state. I have no problems with highway speed enforcement; in fact, I am in favor of it. Abuse of power and violating First Amendment rights, though? Especially when the courts have already ruled against it? Nuh-uh.
- Alex Brant-Zawadzki: Pima County Repubs Raffle Glock As Fundraiser; Same Gun Type Used In Tucson Shooting – Stay classy, Arizona GOP!

Sun over the yardarm… alas, when I get on a boat, it’s Karen leaning over the leeward rail. I have never enjoyed a beverage (alcoholic or no) aboard a boat. I’ve learned to sail, but will no longer do so, even under duress.
