Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Beck’s ‘Plan’ will feature fake history on church-state separation from David Barton<\/a> – Glenn Beck is going to peddle dishonest and discredited history. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.<\/li>\n
  2. Bond. Dumb Bond.<\/a> – It’s ironic that the “law and order” types of the GOP seem to be the first to suggest that our criminal justice system cannot (and has not) deal with accused terrorists.<\/li>\n
  3. Keep digging, Newt: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. GOP already claiming that the blizzard proves climate change doesn’t exist: John Aravosis (DC)<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. YouTube Gets Violence and Profanity Filter<\/a> – Depending on how this works, it makes me feel better about Kay browsing through YouTube.<\/li>\n
  6. Facebook Chat Now Available Everywhere<\/a> – An interesting way to open up Facebook, a notoriously closed system. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have any of the specified mail clients, and even though GTalk is based on Jabber, I don’t see a way to put in the manual settings.<\/li>\n
  7. Rise in solar activity all but certain to mess with GPS<\/a> – Something to note as why we shouldn’t rely on GPS for anything particularly dangerous.<\/li>\n
  8. Did the fathers of modern obstetrics murder more women than Jack the Ripper?<\/a> – An interesting examination of an interesting historical paper.<\/li>\n
  9. And As An Added Bonus, It Prevents The Apocalypse<\/a> – I’m surprised Del. Cole is so eager to avert the End Times.<\/li>\n
  10. Wiley Drake Hails Rep. Murtha’s Death<\/a> – I have a hard time calling what Drake believes and what I believe both by the same name, “Christianity.” I find this abhorrent.<\/li>\n
  11. Calling GOP Obstruction \u2018Disgraceful,\u2019 Reid Urges Obama To Recess Appoint \u2018All\u2019 Held-Up Nominees<\/a> – I agree. He should definitely do it. If he lets the GOP obstruct the working of government more than he has to, then he is complicit in that obstruction.<\/li>\n
  12. Twitter Uses BitTorrent For Server Deployment<\/a> – Clever.<\/li>\n
  13. via turnofthecentury.<\/a> – “And then, after they were stuffed, we had them mounted to the wall …”<\/li>\n
  14. Afraid Of Tea Partiers, Armey Withholds Support From McCain In Race Against \u2018Undistinguished\u2019 J.D. Hayworth<\/a> – The long knives of conservative ideological conformity continue to be sharpened – and even Palin is not immune to them.<\/li>\n
  15. LaBarbera Attacks Focus on the Family For “Selling Out”<\/a> – It says something about one if you think Focus on the Family is “selling out” on conservative social issues.<\/li>\n
  16. ‘They are unembarrassed’<\/a> – “Charging them [GOP leaders] with hypocrisy, appealing to their better, more practical, more ‘what’s best for the country’ patriotic angels is like trying to teach your dog to drive. It wastes a lot of time, it won’t work, and ultimately the dog comes out of the exercise less embarrassed for failing then you do for trying.”<\/li>\n
  17. Is Google Reader Still an RSS Reader?<\/a> – A cautionary note on Google Reader + Buzz. Though why one would follow 300 people with a single click and not expect some problems somewhere is beyond me.<\/li>\n
  18. APOD: 2010 February 9 – Night Launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavour<\/a> – Possibly the last night launch of a shuttle. Which makes me sad.<\/li>\n
  19. Ben Nelson – Hypocritical Moron<\/a> – I thought the GOP senators explicitly warning Obama, “Don’t you do a recess appointee thang!” was a recognition that he’s liable to do just that thing. And, y’know — I support him in that.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
