Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. BBC News – No proof of mobile cancer risk, major study concludes<\/a> – I’m sure all the people who have ignored all the other studies indicating this will ignore this one as well.<\/li>\n
  2. Murkowski’s ‘resolution of disapproval’<\/a> – All the representation petro-dollars can buy.<\/li>\n
  3. No more life sentences for minors who haven’t murdered<\/a> – Well, that certainly seems appropriate. I find it remarakable that it only got a 5-4 SCOTUS ruling.<\/li>\n
  4. Gingrich, meet Godwin<\/a> – Money graf: “Gingrich was driven from office by members of his own party more than a decade ago, under a cloud of ethical lapses, policy failures, and personal scandal. He hasn’t held office since, but the media can’t stop turning to him — he was the single most frequent guest on “Meet the Press” in 2009 — giving him a national platform to spew nonsense, including yesterday, when he defended previous remarks comparing Americans to Nazis.”<\/li>\n
  5. Transocean to give shareholders $1 billion while trying to cap its responsibility for Gulf spill at $27 million.<\/a> – Eeeeevil.<\/li>\n
  6. Pawlenty: Gays Shouldn\u2019t Have The Power To Decide What To Do With The Body Of A Deceased Partner<\/a> – In other words, “Let them eat cake (while I troll for more contributions from the Right).”<\/li>\n
  7. Right Wing Reacts With Rage To First Muslim American Miss USA: \u2018An Odd Form Of Affirmative Action\u2019<\/a> – Because, of course, the idea that someone other than a WASP might actually be qualified to win a beauty pageant is so outre that it must be some sort of politically correct terrorist plot. Yeesh.<\/li>\n
  8. BP chose more toxic, less effective oil dispersant manufactured by company with \u2018close ties\u2019 to oil giant.<\/a> – Doing well by doing bad.<\/li>\n
  9. Healing for hospital signs that don’t work<\/a> – An interesting challenge (though I find the “half of all Americans — approximately 90 million — cannot read well enough to navigate a hospital’s written signs” stat to be more than a little disturbing). Trying to come up with symbolism that communicates, that isn’t bound to technology that’s likely to become obsolete, and that’s simple enough to reproduce cleanly, is tough. I plan on reading the background materials at the UC site more closely.<\/li>\n
  10. Pesticide exposure may contribute to ADHD, study finds<\/a> – Interesting, and quite believable. As George noted, links to other neurological and behavioral problems might also be found.<\/li>\n
  11. Around the World in 51 Characters<\/a> – In case you wanted to know more about the Wikipedia globe logo.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
