Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Is It Ever Okay To Not Tip The Pizza Guy?<\/a> – If the driver gets there in a timely fashion, you tip the guy. More if the weather is crappy.<\/li>\n
  2. Why Everyone Loves Costco: Small Selection, Good Quality, Low Prices<\/a> – Actually, that’s about right. Costco isn’t the only place you can go and buy stuff — if you have a favorite brand of deodorant, or a particular laptop you want to pick up, you will likely have to go elsewhere. But if you’re looking for nuts, or jeans, or cheese, what they do have is going to be plentiful and worth purchase and cheap. And, yes, we do buy TP there.<\/li>\n
  3. Right Wing Encouraging Violence, \u201cRiots\u201d and \u201cRevolution\u201d; Showing Images Of Rape<\/a> – If this sort of talk doesn’t have any influence, then why are they bothering to flap their gums? They think it only has just so much influence but no more?<\/li>\n
  4. Why Are Some Right-Wingers Defending Terror Suspects?<\/a> – “These are not the terrorists you’re looking for. Move along …” Yeesh.<\/li>\n
  5. GOP tongues wagging as pressure builds, calling for Steele’s noggin (and RNC fur cuffs & harnesses)<\/a> – Money graf: "I think most people get the wine and dine thing, however there is a mile-wide gap between free waffles and coffee and a $2K tab at an S&M faux lesbian titty bar."<\/li>\n
  6. 11-year-old pulls 200-year-old sword out of ground<\/a> – Falchions are a pretty cool weapon, if I recall my D&D (3.5) stats.<\/li>\n
  7. Morons fire paintballs at ancient petroglyphs<\/a> – Idjits …<\/li>\n
  8. Historical Beijing quarter to be destroyed<\/a> – I would feel all superior except this is exactly the same story we’ve seen here in the US time and time again.<\/li>\n
  9. Judge Nullifies Gene Patents<\/a> – From what I know, this is a very good ruling. You can patent a technique, perhaps, and certainly a particular technology. But to patent genes? Nuh-uh.<\/li>\n
  10. Stupidity on Parade<\/a> – I think the best piece of advice for those terrified of cell phone brain cancer is in the last bullet of DOF’s post. Use a cell phone while driving, and you greatly increase the chances you won’t survive long enough to get any<\/b> cancer …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
