Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Buffy Season 8, and What Makes a Series Good<\/a> – I felt the same way about S8, largely because, with a comic book canvas to paint on, the writers got us away from very human (so to speak) characters and more into “WHOA! LOOK! SHE’S A GIANT NOW!” Not gimmicks, per se, but distractions.<\/li>\n
  2. John Lundberg: Glenn Beck Hit by Haiku Storm<\/a> – Some great haiku there.<\/li>\n
  3. The Pope’s Smoking Gun : Dispatches from the Culture Wars<\/a> – Smoking gun indeed — a signed letter from Cardinal Ratzinger, basically telling a US bishop that, despite his diocese’ recommendation that a priest be defrocked for his criminal conviction of lewd conduct, he should not be defrocked because it will harm the Church and its reputation. The Vatican claims it’s all out of context, but the language seems pretty darned straightforward to me. Jesus wept.<\/li>\n
  4. KKK has \u2018reversed declining membership\u2019 in recent years.: Matt Corley<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Massey Mine Shut Down 61 Times in 15 Months [Dispatches from the Culture Wars]<\/a> – But the coal must flow!<\/li>\n
  6. 50 Movie Cars<\/a> – Some fun memories here.<\/li>\n
  7. They Don\u2019t Get It<\/a> – Money graf: “Now we have the governor of Mississippi rushing to the defense of the governor of Virginia\u2019s decision to revive a celebration of the Confederacy in that state. The linked article suggests that people are upset that it\u2019s ‘insensitive.’ My objections to the Confederacy isn\u2019t that remembering it hurts my feelings. Rather, I have these old fashioned notions that both treason and owning people is wrong. Combining the two is really wrong. And getting sentimental about the combination is appalling. I\u2019m happy enough to let bygones be bygones, but if elected officials from Confederate states insist on bringing up the past unpleasantness, it should be to apologize and to thank the northern states for bringing a forcible end to their peculiar institution.”<\/li>\n
  8. The first photograph of a human\u2026<\/a> – Wow — that’s pretty amazing (and an example of incidental importance).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
