Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Infographic of the Day: Curling Explained (FINALLY)<\/a> – It’s bocce ball in slow motion. With brooms.<\/li>\n
  2. The Pudding Guy<\/a> – Well played, sir.<\/li>\n
  3. How to prepare a kiwi<\/a> – Aha!<\/li>\n
  4. The Facts About Smoking<\/a> – I’m actually pleased the numbers have dropped as low as they have. I hope they continue to decline.<\/li>\n
  5. Letters Reveal Top GOP Lawmakers Demanded Stimulus Money As \u2018Vital\u2019 Job Creating Engines: Lee Fang<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. It\u2019s A Lie, By George!: Religious Right Spreads Myths About America\u2019s First President \u00ab The Wall of Separation<\/a> – But lying is, of course, okay when it’s for a Higher Cause, right? That’s certainly the lesson being taught here.<\/li>\n
  7. Zazi to plead guilty<\/a> – But … but … if we’d tortured him, he wouldn’t have had to plead! Except, maybe, for us to stop torturing him.<\/li>\n
  8. If only Obama’s critics paid closer attention<\/a> – Misinformation or disinformation? The idea that Obama is some ultra-radical who kow-tows to the left fringe of the Dems, rather than a centrist who keeps offering to compromise with the GOP, would be bizarrely laughable, save that it serves as the Big Lie for the GOP to keep telling their constituents.<\/li>\n
  9. Time For A Nice, Light, Uncontroversial Topic\u2026 Like, Say, Mm, Religion<\/a> – For what it’s worth, the org doing this is, in fact, the “fundamentalist” arm of the Catholic Church (as a perusal of the website shows). And I’m sorry, but it takes a much more convincing case than quoting what Pope Eugene IV said in AD 1441 (laughable vector of delivery aside).<\/li>\n
  10. YouTube – Royal Naval Field Gun Competition 1999 ( NOT the “last”)<\/a> – Wow — I’m with Kyrion — I’d love to see this part of the Olympics (politically correct or not).<\/li>\n
  11. Report: CIA Document Cheney Said Would Prove Torture Worked Was \u201cPlainly Inaccurate\u201d<\/a> – But will he be called on it? Probably not.<\/li>\n
  12. GOP still won’t take ‘yes’ for an answer<\/a> – Playing up the GOP’s gameplaying here — and the REAL efforts by the Dems to accommodate GOP ideas and proposals — is an excellent idea.<\/li>\n
  13. More information means more support<\/a> – This should be Job 1 for the Democrats — playing up individual aspects of the plan, vs. letting the GOP tar the thing as some vague, amorphous, scary, socialistic evil.<\/li>\n
  14. Meet The Real Victim Of Last Week’s Terror Attack On IRS Building – Vietnam Vet, Vernon Hunter<\/a> – Would Sen. Brown care to shrug off this man’s death (again) based on folks being “irritated” with the IRS?<\/li>\n
  15. VA Legislator: Disabled Children Are God’s Punishment for Women Who’ve Had Abortions: Kyle<\/a><\/li>\n
  16. Amazon is The Most Trusted Brand in America<\/a> – Wonder when this was surveyed (given the high rating shown for Toyota).<\/li>\n
  17. National Margarita Day 2010 Real Recipes: Celebrate Responsibly | NowPublic News Coverage<\/a> – You have official permission to (responsibly) celebrate. Our home margaritas are 3:1:2 (tequila\/triple sec\/lime juice), which tend to thus be tart, which means we usually put in a bit of simple syrup for visitors. Oh, and no salt on mine, please.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
