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

- Reports Of The Mouse’s Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated – The other thing about touch screens — when you use them, YOUR HAND IS IN THE WAY OF THE SCREEN.
- Really sucky environmental news [Greg Laden’s Blog] – Well, it’s a good thing that plankton are so small! That means if they all go away, it won’t do any harm, right? Right?
- Beck lies about Oakland cop sniper, claims innocence in inspiring shooter who targeted Tides Foundation – Short of someone with handwritten orders from Beck to go shoot someone, I don’t think he’ll never take enough heat from people his rhetoric incites to shut him up. He’ll always have deniability.
- GOP’s Summer Plans: Tweet, Tweet and Tweet Some More While Treading Boldly…Backwards – Given the number of Tea Partiers who lambaste the progressive TR, and who’d never reelect the actual politician Ronald Reagan (let alone that namby-pamby centrist Ike) … it’s an odd collection of cover choices.
- Apple: Puerto Ricans Aren’t Americans And Can’t Have Free iPhone 4 Cases – Apple has been taking lessons from Vaughan Ward, the Idaho Republican who seemed to have a similar level of confusion.
- When Pressed By ThinkProgress, Rep. Frank Wolf Demonstrates Incoherence Of Stimulus Opposition – It’s fine to be dubious about economic forecasts. It makes less sense to question analysis of the past, which the study in question does.
