Unblogged Bits for 2012-07-29

I heard from the plugin developer yesterday, and when he finally got a free minute to try things out, I’d not set up something properly to let him test. Argh. Hopefully it won’t take another week to get better news.

Olympics

  1. Not their demographic. At all. – Swilling Bud Light 24×7 is not my idea of a good time. So I really wish I didn’t have to keep watching their commercial during the Games.
  2. Why are track and field records longer-lived than swimming ones? – There are not a lot of T&F records broken each Olympics, while swimming records seem to be overturned on a regular basis.  Here are some thoughts as to why.
  3. Empty seats at the Olympics – Looks bad. Is bad, in fact.
  4. NBC protects us from those crazy foreigners – The worst excuse yet from NBC for it’s awful Opening Ceremony coverage.
  5. En garde! – Fencing is cool. I want to watch more.

Election Politics

  1. Louis Black in 2012 – I’d vote for him. If nothing else, the State of the Union would be a lot more entertaining.
  2. Are we still allowed to say “Israel First” politicians? – For a party that keeps nattering about protecting US sovereignty, they sure seem willing to subordinate our national interests to those of Israel.
  3. Deaths is deaths – Comparing Obama to the Aurora Theater shooter is totally bogus — except in the very narrow but important way it isn’t.
  4. Stay classy, America – The vitriol unleashed at the First Lady is utterly appalling.  And disturbing, and disgusting. And, yes, I’d feel that way about whoever was in that position.

Other

  1. Getting it on like King Kong – I’d like to visit the Empire State Building some day.
  2. The Scale of the Universe – Fascinating, and very, very nicely done.
  3. Calling this poor judgment is a grotesque understatement – Yes, let’s stage a kidnapping for the kids … for Jesus!
  4. Let them eat cake — but not from us – How well thought-out is prejudice?  I don’t know, but I doubt very.
  5. The end of pianos –  There’s a glut of pianos to dispose of these days.  Very sad.
  6. Too many secrets – First they came for Wikileaks, but I didn’t care because I wasn’t an independent whistle-blowing group. Then they came for the New York Times, and …
  7. And I have some swampland in Florida to sell you, too – I’ve been to the Salton Sea.  Anyone who asks you to invest in a big development there is selling you a bill of goods.
  8. Grammar is meaningful – And, yes, it comes into play in job applications.
  9. Hmmm. Might take up cross-stitching again – Very cool super-hero alphabet.
  10. My inspiring mother-in-law – Some advice for writing.

 

 

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.
