Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Jesse Helms, gay rights advocate? That’s what his estate says<\/a> – As one commenter notes, isn’t it amazing (and encouraging) that even the Helms estate feels the need to play down the late Senator’s rampant homophobia.<\/li>\n
  2. STEALING THE NEXT ELECTION<\/a> – Thus laying the groundwork for de-legitimizing the next election (unless they win, of course) and further destabilizing the country.<\/li>\n
  3. It’s a civil war: What we do now<\/a> – Dennis Prager has in the past has some interesting things to say, esp. regarding religion and ethics. But this article demonstrates he has clearly drunk too deeply of the Kool-Aid. “I write the words ‘civil war’ with an ache in my heart. But we are in one. Thank God this civil war is non-violent. But the fact is that the left and the rest of the country share almost no values. The American value system and the leftist value system are irreconcilable. If the left wins, America’s values lose. If American values prevail, the left loses.” That’s me, he’s talking about, versus “Americans.”<\/li>\n
  4. 200 Russian tanks found abandoned in forest – Telegraph<\/a> – A perfect choice for your next SUV (now that Hummer is history) …<\/li>\n
  5. The Texas Board of Education is officially the biggest joke in the world<\/a> – It would be a laugh riot, save that my own daughter’s school books may be affected … and I have to live in a world where this crap is what what’s being taught to kids who will vote before I grow old and die.<\/li>\n
  6. Geek Deal: The Twilight Zone 28-DVD Set for $112<\/a> – Submitted for my approval …<\/li>\n
  7. The Great Sperm Race: The Most Extreme Race on Earth<\/a> – Must make a note of this for the DVR.<\/li>\n
  8. Retrofuture Transportation Showcase, Part 2<\/a> – TOO … MUCH … COOL!<\/li>\n
  9. After HCR Passed, Militia Leader Said: ‘Break Democratic Party Windows’. So They Did.<\/a> – So violence and intimidation-by-brickbat are openly accepted tools for political discourse from the Right. Got it.<\/li>\n
  10. May I suggest a biology book?<\/a> – THE STUPID … IT BURNS!<\/li>\n
  11. Space Flight Awareness<\/a> – Maybe not as timeless as arm patches, but these NASA mission \/ expedition posters are damned fun.<\/li>\n
  12. Twitter \/ Dalai Lama: It is totally illogical to …<\/a> – To the GOP, with love.<\/li>\n
  13. Snow coming tonight – The Denver Post<\/a> – Sounds like a work-from-home day tomorrow!<\/li>\n
  14. Obama signs health care bill, Republicans sign court filings<\/a> – Remember this the next time some conservative wails about liberals trying to win in court what they lost in the legislature.<\/li>\n
  15. About that CNN poll<\/a> – Lovely — you could say that 59% oppose the bill, or you could say that 56% either want this bill or one that goes even further. Guess which way CNN ran the headline.<\/li>\n
  16. Demonstrations to be Held at Vatican Against Nancy Pelosi. ‘DC Arcivescovo Wuerl; Scomunica Nancy Pelosi!’<\/a> – Let me know how that works, Randall. I undertand the Catholic Church is always eager to hear what American activists are demanding it should do.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
