Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Virginia Governor Declares April Confederate History Month | The Onion – America’s Finest News Source | American Voices<\/a> – That’s about the size of it.<\/li>\n
  2. When can an employer read your sexy texts?<\/a> – Honestly? I expect the answer is any time they choose, if I’m on company equipment and network. The question is, are my (not very) sexy texts costing the company money, or interfering with my job duties?<\/li>\n
  3. Unreal hormones: males treat games as social competitions<\/a> – I am just a victim of my evolutionary impulses, dear.<\/li>\n
  4. Facebook Group Asks God To Kill Obama<\/a> – Yes, just the sort of thing the “dear Lord” would want them to be doing. Idjits.<\/li>\n
  5. AP News: McAfee antivirus program goes berserk, freezes PCs<\/a> – Yikes.<\/li>\n
  6. Republicans Block Votes On 97 Federal Nominees In A Single Day<\/a> – Disgusting. The GOP act like kids who keep grabbing the ball and throwing it into the neighbor’s back yard so that nobody else can play..<\/li>\n
  7. Controversial Florida Politician Unsure If Muslims Should Hold Public Office, Says He\u2019d \u2018Prefer\u2019 If Gays Stayed Out<\/a> – There has to be some special MASSIVE IRONY AWARD for rejecting candidates to a city human rights commission because they’re the “wrong” religion or are too<\/b> much in favor of rights for some of the populace. Way to go, Florida!<\/li>\n
  8. If we’re going to talk about audience sophistication…<\/a> – Go, Jon, go!<\/li>\n
  9. DeMint sees ‘spiritual renewal’<\/a> – “There’s a libertarian streak in the tea party movement that concerns me as a cultural conservative. The tea party movement needs to insist that candidates believe in the sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage.” — Yeah, let me know how well that telling the TPers what they “need” to do, AFA.<\/li>\n
  10. Chickens for Checkups<\/a> – Hee!<\/li>\n
  11. Ready for more reconciliation?<\/a> – What?! Outrageous! How dare they try to actually get things done with a 59 vote majority!<\/li>\n
  12. MassResistance Vows to Boycott 2010 Elections<\/a> – Maybe they can get all their fellow social conservatives to sit out the election in other states, too.<\/li>\n
  13. Lint (Space Food Sticks! AKA Peanut-butter-putty….)<\/a> – These were a hiking food staple with us for several years. I have very fond memories of them … and of a lot of other stuff that I’d recoil from today.<\/li>\n
  14. Bill O’Reilly calls Boulder topless gardener a “pinhead” – The Denver Post<\/a> – In the category of “it takes one to know one” …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
