Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Child’s Final Superheroic Wish Is The Greatest Thing You’ll Read Today [Superheroes]<\/a> – Wow. This is really awesome.<\/li>\n
  2. Do Nature Films Deny Animals Their Right to Privacy? : Discovery News<\/a> – I don’t necessarily accept that animals have a “right” to privacy, though I’d argue that if observation is causing them stress or forestalling behavior that they would engage in were they in seclusion, the caretakers of the animals have a responsibility to be more discreet, at the very least.<\/li>\n
  3. Grandma goes to jail for slapping cussing granddaughter in Florida.<\/a> – Money graf: “The article appears to be painting this as an example of the police overreacting to a spoiled brat getting what she deserves, but if you look at it logically it went down the way it was supposed to when you take the power of discretion away from the police. It\u2019s a reminder that it\u2019s important to consider the rules and laws you set up before you enact them.”<\/li>\n
  4. Lowden\u2019s Campaign Chief: Everyone Has Access To Health Care \u2014 At Emergency Room<\/a> – Folks — emergency care is not health care. And that attitude is part of what’s driven health care cost (esp. in hospitals) up so fast.<\/li>\n
  5. Random Book Blogging: Bauer Thought AIDS Victims Deserved to Die<\/a> – “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” — John 13:45<\/li>\n
  6. Dianna Parker: Fox News dissonance at its best<\/a> – The left hand apparently doesn’t know what the right hand is lying about.<\/li>\n
  7. Adam Shah: “Torture memo” author John Yoo urges filibuster of anyone Obama nominates<\/a> – And, very openly, Yoo argues it’s not because of the “distinguished” nominees, but because they’re nominees by the Democrats. Disgusting.<\/li>\n
  8. Far-right media push ‘sabotage’ conspiracy theory<\/a> – Amazing. And, sadly, this part is all too true: “Of course, GOP conspiracy theories, no matter how insane, don’t have to make sense; they don’t have to withstand scrutiny; they don’t even have to be persuasive. They just have to be repeated<\/b>.”<\/li>\n
  9. Glenn Beck trashes Mother’s Day<\/a> – Glenn’s forgetting his meds again …<\/li>\n
  10. Immigration talking point falls apart<\/a> – Thus the (over)emphasis, of late, of every story of (suspected) drug smuggler \/ immigrant violence by conservative press. As is so often true, big bloody particular instances will get more public attention and policy weight than aggregate statistics.<\/li>\n
  11. Wonk Room \u00bb At Least 15 States Opt Out Of High Risk Insurance Pools, Will Allow Federal Gov To \u2018Take Over\u2019<\/a> – And, interestingly, it’s mostly Republican-run states letting the Feds take over the program.<\/li>\n
  12. Fox And Friends Pushes \u2018Conspiracy Theory\u2019 That Massive Oil Spill Was \u2018Deliberate\u2019 \u2018Sabotage\u2019<\/a> – Oh, great. “Fairly unbalanced” indeed.<\/li>\n
  13. lunaryue: lickystickypickyme: Try slowly moving the mouse…<\/a> – The illusion works for me. Weird.<\/li>\n
  14. The Art of Revising a Novel<\/a> – Some very interesting (and idiosyncratically useful) advice here.<\/li>\n
  15. Photo<\/a> – HA!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
