Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Who are the 47%? – “Have you been wondering who those lazy 47%ers who refuse to pay their fair share of income taxes are?You know, the ones who need to kick in so that the millionaire jahbcreaters don’t have to? Here’s who they are …”
- Norton Juster’s “The Phantom Tollbooth” at 50 : The New Yorker – I dearly loved this book as a kid. I still keep trying to encourage Katherine to read it.

- Marvel’s The Avengers – Movie Trailers – iTunes – Woot!
- God can’t seem to make up his mind who he wants the next President to be. – Actually, I think it’s most likely just God calling these hubris-driven dolts to make public idiots of themselves by running for President. As, so to speak, object lessons for the rest of us.
- Fox Host to Joe Lieberman: You Sound Like a Republican – Quacks like a duck, too.
- How To Share Google Reader Stories to Google Plus – Ah. Cool. And it’s selective, too, so I don’t blow all my G+ followers (such as they are) away with all the Unblogged Bits volume.
- Life Should Be Full Of RPG Quests – Ah! Yeah, I know this contact. I’m seriously taking this one. I might run it several times, in fact …

I saw that in the article. Tempting …
(Actually, it’s been years since I read the book. I should do that some time.)
I’ve only seen the movie. (Chuck Jones! Mel Blanc! Daws Butler! June Foray! Hans Conreid! Butch… Patrick?)
