Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. A Large Space Station Over Earth<\/a> – Okay, so it’s not a luxury hotel wheel being serviced by Pan Am orbital shuttles — it’s still pretty damned cool.<\/li>\n
  2. Op-Ed Contributor – Our Fill-in-the-Blank Constitution – NYTimes.com<\/a> – On the rule of “judicial activism” and the myth of conservative judges as objective umpires.<\/li>\n
  3. Economic Scene – Yes, 47% of Households Owe No Taxes. Look Closer. – NYTimes.com<\/a> – Clip this article. Send it to folks who leap on that 47 (!) percent number.<\/li>\n
  4. Dodd stops being polite, and starts getting real<\/a> – It’s about time. The GOP is vulnerable in their subservience to Wall Street position points, and pointing that out can only be effective.<\/li>\n
  5. Calling out McConnell’s willful ignorance<\/a> – Good heavens! We can’t let reality interfere with our talking points!<\/li>\n
  6. Maybe O’Reilly needs new researchers<\/a> – Yeah, I’d say so.<\/li>\n
  7. McDonnell’s frequent detours<\/a> – I’m waiting for him to be lambasted by the Right for backing off in the face of criticism.<\/li>\n
  8. Virginia Governor Signs Bill Creating Pro-Choice License Plate | RHRealityCheck.org<\/a> – Well, McConnell has done at least something right this week.<\/li>\n
  9. SCOTUS Round-Up: Right Ready To Spend Millions Fighting Gay Nominee Women Don’t Like<\/a> – Wait — they don’t want someone who will legislate from the bench, but they do want someone who will overthrow legislation they don’t like. Got it!<\/li>\n
  10. 4 Reasons Consumers Still Buy Top-Loading Washing Machines<\/a> – We bought a front-loader this time around. It’s no more noisy than the old top-loader was (and, yes, it’s on a wood floor right off our family room). Moreover, as the dryer is a front-loader, it’s actually easier to move wet laundry from washer to dryer than it was with a top-loader.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
