Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Marvel and ABC Developing Live-Action ‘Incredible Hulk’ Series – Hmmm … will lack of continuity between movie and TV make things more approachable (“I never saw the movie, but that’s okay”) or confusing (“Wait, in the movie Betty is a scientist, but here she’s a doctor?”)? Or have the plethora of Superman TV shows vs. movies gotten the non-comics audience as relatively blase (or forgiving or accepting) about continuity differences as the comic-reading audience has become?
- A Tree Grows in D – I stay at DoubleTrees not infrequently when I do business travel — and that new logo just plain old sucks.
- Where things stand with DADT – If the Pentagon has not already been doing a review of the regulations and policies that would need revision and updating with the end of DADT — as opposed to simply kvetching about how difficult it will be — then someone deserves to be fired. That’s not a public policy debate, that’s doing your job vs. not.
- Michael J. Fox recreates the Back to the Future teaser trailer shot-for-shot – Fun.
- John Birch Society Song – See? The Tea Party needs a good rousing song like this.
- America’s dish detergent wars | Amanda Marcotte | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk – “The first rule of reactionary politics is: don’t learn about the issues, or else you might find your kneejerk anti-liberal reactions weren’t as smart as you thought they were. Large parts of America have been primed through little issues such as phosphate bans to believe they don’t need to know the actual facts behind an issue because they can simply substitute their paranoid hostility towards liberals for understanding.”
- “Populist” Glenn Beck wants listeners to donate money to corporate interests | Media Matters for America – Yeesh.

1. Cloak and Dagger on ABC Family? They’ll be changing her outfit. :/
4. Up until the end, I was wondering what the point was. Now that I know, I say “Bravo.”
5. They could adopt one of two songs I heard on Dr. Demento many years ago: “Right-wing Roundup” or “There’s No Left Left.” They might take them seriously, completely missing the irony.
