Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Palin Puts Gun Sights On \u201cTarget\u201d Map; Urges We \u201cReload\u201d<\/a> – Again with the targets and crosshairs and shooting\/hunting rhetoric. But, of course, when someone gets actually shot, it will all be claimed to be “harmless” words.<\/li>\n
  2. Han Solo Gets the Final Piece of the Puzzle<\/a> – Ha!<\/li>\n
  3. The Complete Guide to Fixing Google Contacts (Lifehacker)<\/a> – Noted for future use.<\/li>\n
  4. GoDaddy.com plans to stop registering domain names in China – washingtonpost.com<\/a> – Good for them!<\/li>\n
  5. Caller To Rep. Bart Stupak: \u201cYou Baby-Killing Mother F***er\u2026I Hope You Bleed Out Your A** Get Cancer And Die\u201d<\/a> – “And they’ll know we are Christians by our love.”<\/li>\n
  6. The 17 Most Unintentionally Hilarious Propaganda Posters | Cracked.com<\/a> – I actually sort of like the UK one. And then there’s the one that makes me think of a really creepy “Doctor Who” episode …<\/li>\n
  7. Cornyn Flip Flops On Whether He\u2019s \u2018Interested In Repealing\u2019 Popular Parts Of Health Reform<\/a> – I’m more than happy to sit back and watch the internecine struggle on the Right amongst ideologues and pragmatists as to whether the GOP should push to repeal the whole bill (thus coming out against some increasingly popular provisions that even they like and have suggested) or just parts of the bill (in which case folks who’ve been screaming about the Obamacolypse either looks stupid or betrayed or both).<\/li>\n
  8. Lawmakers backing off harsh punishments for sexting teens<\/a> – I think the “OMG I can’t believe I was so freaking stupid only a few years ago” punishment for this sort of thing would more than suffice.<\/li>\n
  9. Science Says High-Fructose Corn Syrup Is Pretty Much The Worst Thing Ever<\/a> – Not to mention recent studies indicating the kidney problems it causes …<\/li>\n
  10. The Opposite of Fitts’ Law<\/a> – I love GMail’s power, its utility, its continuing parade of clever features. But its user interface is really awful, both for obvious reasons and for the more important ones noted here. (That’s true for most of Google’s products, too, including my beloved Google Reader …)<\/li>\n
  11. Targeting Gays, Oklahoma Senate Mistakenly Strips Hate Crimes Protections For Race and Religion<\/a> – They’re not only bigots, they’re incompetent bigots.<\/li>\n
  12. Entering the ‘taking-credit’ phase<\/a> – Wow. So, does he support repealing those parts he’s taking credit for, too?<\/li>\n
  13. Opposing the ideas they support — mandate edition<\/a> – Of course, the premise that there’s an actual rational basis for the repeal movement, vs. political opportunism and demagoguery, is pretty questionable. You don’t have to be consistent as long as you’re shouting loudly, I guess.<\/li>\n
  14. Worst. Smear. Ever.<\/a> – “Worst” as in “most inept.”<\/li>\n
  15. Brownout<\/a> – I can’t see Brown surviving his next election. The Dems will have a decent (and non-imaginary) opponent, and the Far Right has already written him off as a RINO.<\/li>\n
  16. Wiley Drake Pretty Much Wants Everyone To Die<\/a> – What I find second-most-bizarre is that Drake only thinks his prayers will work if he can personally identify folks by name (his God, I guess, doesn’t use wildcards).<\/li>\n
  17. March 21, 2010: A Day That Will Live In Infamy<\/a> – Money graf: “You know, it really is amazing that comparing Democrats to terrorists and traitors and Nazis has become so common among the Right that nobody even bats an eye any more.”<\/li>\n
  18. Republicans Block Senate Committee Hearings, Including On National Security Matters, For Second Day In A Row<\/a> – Remember this, the next time the GOP accuses the Democrats of being soft on Defense and National Security. Idjits.<\/li>\n
  19. slacktivist: Glenn Beck Bingo<\/a> – A nice look at Beck’s “912” values … and an amusing game for the whole family!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
