 Because, sooner or later, I have to stop talking about her<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dissent done right 2<\/a> – Very cool end (part 2 of the story) of an unpleasant tale. How do you deal with your kids being upset that someone’s stolen the campaign sign in front of your house?<\/li>\n
  2. Stop worrying about mercury in compact fluorescent…<\/a> – Okay, I mistrust the quick dismissal (even from a non-industry source) of the “received wisdom” about this. But …<\/li>\n
  3. Roman Empire ‘raised HIV threat’<\/a> – Yeah, yeah, blame it on my ancestors …<\/li>\n
  4. Make canned monstrosities<\/a> – Very, very cool.<\/li>\n
  5. Skimpy Peanut Butter \u2014 Part 1<\/a> – Just because it’s “natural” doesn’t mean it’s “real.”<\/li>\n
  6. America’s 10 Most Confusing Traffic Signs [Signs,…<\/a> – Well, maybe not, but most of them are pretty darned amusing.<\/li>\n
  7. Five reasons why Chrome will crash and burn | Tech…<\/a> – If you define “crash and burn” as “not dethrone IE as the browser champ.”<\/li>\n
  8. Google Chrome EULA Claims Ownership of Everything…<\/a> – I suspect this is not what was intended.<\/li>\n
  9. Mr. G sends us a present while he’s away.<\/a> – Neverwhere <\/em>rocks. If you have not read it, now you can, for free. Do so.<\/li>\n
  10. FREE BRISTOL PALIN<\/a> – No, really, this isn’t political, nor directly about Sarah Palin. Well, no more than ordinary life is political, or how talk about Bristol’s pregnancy and teen pregnancy in general touches on the VP candidate. Regardless, my intent in posting it is to save it and share it with my daughter when she’s … well, appallingly soon.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
