Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Louis Farrakhan pulls a Pat Robertson about Chile’s earthquake – City of Brass<\/a> – Yeah, Farrakhan’s a hateful jerk, too.<\/li>\n
  2. Newt Gingrich, Very Bad Literary Critic<\/a> – Newt? Speaking out of his posterior? I’m shocked!<\/li>\n
  3. The Attack on Climate-Change Science: Why It’s the O.J. Moment of the Twenty-First Century<\/a> – Money quote: “The Dream Team of lawyers assembled for Simpson’s defense had a problem: it was pretty clear their guy was guilty. Nicole Brown’s blood was all over his socks, and that was just the beginning. So Johnnie Cochran, Robert Shapiro, Alan Dershowitz, F. Lee Bailey, Robert Kardashian et al. decided to attack the process, arguing that it put Simpson’s guilt in doubt, and doubt, of course, was all they needed. Hence, those days of cross-examination about exactly how Dennis Fung had transported blood samples, or the fact that Los Angeles detective Mark Fuhrman had used racial slurs when talking to a screenwriter in 1986. If anything, they were actually helped by the mountain of evidence. If a haystack gets big enough, the odds only increase that there will be a few needles hidden inside.”<\/li>\n
  4. 03\/01\/10 PHD comic: ‘How Grad School is just like Kindergarten’<\/a> – This one’s for Margie …<\/li>\n
  5. Why Google makes it easy to leave Google<\/a> – Very cool – why “cage-free data” is a competitive and<\/b> legal advantage to Google.<\/li>\n
  6. U.S. military OKs use of online social media – CNN.com<\/a> – Seems quite unexpectedly sensible..<\/li>\n
  7. Honest Abe Kicks Ass, Honestly<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. The 9 Greatest ’80s Movies Sleazebags<\/a> – Yeah, Carter Burke SO gets my vote … I can even remember using him as a noun, adjective, and verb for a while.<\/li>\n
  9. When the GOP gives Dems advice<\/a> – Money graf: “But this notion that Republicans want to give Democrats sincere advice about how to win elections is ridiculous. Since when does the GOP give honest assessment to Dems about how to win elections? Why on earth would Democrats listen to electoral suggestions from the party that wants to destroy them?”<\/li>\n
  10. Toxic Waters – Rulings Restrict Clean Water Act, Hampering E.P.A. – NYTimes.com<\/a> – Wonderful. I’d suggest we strengthen the law to make it clearer — but I doubt the GOP in the Senate would ever let it come to the floor. Of course.<\/li>\n
  11. GOP congressional candidates say Obama and his voters are the biggest threats to national security.<\/a> – A very nice riposte in the final paragraph.<\/li>\n
  12. Ultimate Fox News revisionism: \u2018What used to be called the nuclear option\u2019 is now \u2018called reconciliation.\u2019<\/a> – Words mean things. This disgusts me.<\/li>\n
  13. Thousands Of Federal Workers Are Furloughed Without Pay Today Because Of Sen. Bunning\u2019s Partisanship<\/a> – Nicely done, Sen. Bunning. Let’s be sure he (along with his supporters) gets all the credit for this.<\/li>\n
  14. Caribou Coffee Leaps into the Future<\/a> – I’m a regular Caribou customer, and had no idea of their market share. I don’t agree they needed to update their image, but I like what they’re doing here.<\/li>\n
  15. Climate change denialists = climate change liars<\/a> – Money quote: “What’s truly infuriating about this episode of journalistic malpractice is that, once again, it illustrates the reasons why the East Anglia scientists adopted an adversarial attitude towards information management with regard to outsiders and the media. They were afraid that any data they allowed to be characterised by non-climate scientists would be vulnerable to propagandistic distortion. And they were right.”<\/li>\n
  16. The pheromone myth: Sniffing out the truth – opinion – 01 March 2010 – New Scientist<\/a> – Hmmm … are mammalian pheremones the psycho-socio-biological equivalent of luciferous ether?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
