Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….

- Why Romney Won’t Stand up to the Bigotry of Bryan Fischer | Religion Dispatches – Certainly doesn’t make me think of him any more favorably as presidential material.

- It’s About To Become A Bit More Expensive To Shop At Costco – I easily save that much every time I visit.
- Palinisms – (Rolls eyes.)
- Back When Protests On Wall Street Weren’t Peaceful – People forget about the Gilded Age excess and violent unrest that eventually led to the Progressive Movement (under Republicans, no less). Strangely, it’s just the sorts of reforms from that era that ended the violence that so many monied interests today are eager to roll back. Those who forget the past …
- Time lapse of stop-motion puppeteer at work – That. Is. Awesome.
- Steve Jobs ~ 1955-2011: Peter Carey
