Unblogged Bits (from Google Plus)

So after yesterday’s blog outage, my Google-Plus-to-Wordpress plugin isn’t working.  Which means that the stuff I’ve posted about in G+ is … trapped there.

Which means it’s time for some manual intervention.  For the short term, I hope.

1. Terrorists vs. Freedom Fighters — what’s in a name (or tactic)? – Suicide bombers are bad. Except when it’s a good cause.  But does that mean that the “T” word isn’t a synonym for Absolute Evil?
2. It’s all in fun until someone gets their eye poked out – GOP legislation for the sake of showing what boldly orthodox conservatives they are would be a lot more amusing if there wasn’t a chance the zaniness could actually pass.
3. Bryan Fischer is a Dolt (Party and Politics Edition) – Pssst … Bryan … look up “Southern Strategy” …
4. Satan’s Spiritual Structure! Eek! – In case your kid is toying with Lycanthropy or Vampirism.
5. We should remember those childhood lessons – What would Mister Rogers do?
6. Rush Limbaugh at the Movies! – Better watch out for all those super-heroes. Raving liberals, all of ’em!
7. The impact of voter ID laws – Getting government-approved voter ID isn’t always (or even often) trivial or cheap to do.
8. Meanwhile, back a different Comic Con … – Denver nets Stan the Man for next year’s Denver Comic Con.
9. Romney continues to tack way Right – What’s a few UN conspiracies between friends?
10. And then there are folks who brag about their evil. – Because they’re only dumb animals to be eaten.
11. If I ever have a son (which seems highly unlikely) I will name him Willis – Because it’s a cool name.
12. Garfield and the “Destiny of the Republic” – Read the book. Triffic stuff.
13. The dangers of having a political record … – … especially when you’re running in a different direction than what you ran on before.
14. The Writing Process – With a pie chart!  Or as a pie chart!
15. A man’s phone is apparently not his castle – Is a smartphone more like a pager than a computer?  The courts seem to think it depends on what would be more convenient for the cops.
16. The Never-Ending Anti-Abortion Story – Virginia is for lovers.  Or for anti-abortion government officials. But that doesn’t fit on the license plates the same way.
17. Thanks, Rush Limbaugh! – Most memes don’t get such great a jumpstart. Well done, Rush!
18. Last of the Time Ladies – Doctor Who, with a chromosomal twist.
19. Nudity as Free Speech … at a TSA checkpoint – Talkin’ about freedom! Blowing in the breeze!
20. It’s okay if someone doesn’t like the stuff you like – Especially when it’s about movies and comic books, fergoshsakes!
21. Doctor Who and the Curse of the Fatal Death! – Fanstastic!
22. Why the Original Enterprise is the greatest – So says Neil DeGrasse Tyson!

Wow. That was a lot of effort.  Hopefully this will all come across once the plug-in gets kicked in the proper spot.
