Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. ENDA: Hate Crimes Redux?<\/a> – I’m beginning more and more to think that the word “traditional” has been co-opted by the Right to mean, “the stuff we actually admit to liking, or at least approving of.”<\/li>\n
  2. Writing on the wall getting bigger for Ensign<\/a> – I suppose — with all the talk of the apocalypse, and the collapse of civilization, and death panels, and concentration camps for Christians — that reporting on a Senator’s record of dalliances and bribes and violations of both ethics and the law would be kind of boring “inside the Beltway” news, not worth pursuing.<\/li>\n
  3. The misguided nuclear talking points<\/a> – At what point does this sort of misinformation transition from political talking point into active danger to the nation?<\/li>\n
  4. Newt Gingrich: Obama The \u201cMost Radical\u201d President Ever<\/a> – If Obama is, in fact, the most radical president ever, that’s a very sad statement on American politics. (In fact, I’d suggest both Roosevelts as far more radical — in terms of shaking things up — than Obama, and Lincoln’s probably right in there, too.) But don’t let me get in the way of your vapid political posturing, Newt.<\/li>\n
  5. Wisconsin District Attorney Goes Bonkers on Birth Control<\/a> – It’s so over the top that I have to ascribe it to a political stunt. At least, I hope it is. I mean, yeesh.<\/li>\n
  6. Rear Gear Hides Dogs’ Yucky Parts<\/a> – Um … if you can’t stand the sight of your pet’s butt … you probably shouldn’t have a pet. Sorry.<\/li>\n
  7. New in Labs: Nested Labels and Message Sneak Peek<\/a> – Nested labels are indeed a very cool idea. Unfortunately, so is the Hide Read Labels lab hack. Hrm.<\/li>\n
  8. Typing Fail<\/a> – Yeah, spell-check’s not going to help on that one …<\/li>\n
  9. Kid Racks Up $1,400 In Farmville After Stealing Mom’s Credit Card<\/a> – “Grounded” doesn’t begin to describe what this kid would be under were he mine.<\/li>\n
  10. FreeCreditReport.com Just Got Even Less Free<\/a> – I really like their commercials, but, damn, these folks are scum.<\/li>\n
  11. Does Pat Buchanan Really Defend Slavery On National Television?<\/a> – Boy, it sure sounds like it. Yikes.<\/li>\n
  12. Japanese people have special seaweed-digesting bacteria in their guts<\/a> – That’s very cool.<\/li>\n
  13. The Onion: Pope Vows To Get Church Pedophilia Down To Acceptable Levels<\/a> – You know, this would be funny, if it weren’t so tragically close to the truth …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
