Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Feature: Untouched is impossible: the story of Star Wars in film<\/a> – It sure seems like LucasFilm would be a bit more organized than this.<\/li>\n
  2. Illinois: Where Recording On-Duty Cops Is Treated Like Sexual Assault – Hit & Run : Reason Magazine<\/a> – While you are on duty wearing the badge, you should lose the right to any privacy. The Illinois statue in this case is outrageous.<\/li>\n
  3. GPS getting an upgrade – for $8 billion<\/a> – Good to hear. So much is already dependent on GPS (too much, perhaps), that the system failing or degrading would cause serious issues.<\/li>\n
  4. BP backtracks on siphon success claims, seeking new strategy<\/a> – BP: Bilking the Public with Bogus Proposals.<\/li>\n
  5. Neil Gaiman on writing for Doctor Who<\/a> – That would certainly be a very cool (and daunting) assignment.<\/li>\n
  6. Short Sharp Science: Phoenix’s wings have been fatally clipped<\/a> – Sad to hear, but it did a good job.<\/li>\n
  7. Anchor Baby, Anchor<\/a> – Has anyone actually pinned these loons down with what, y’know, the CONSTITUTION says?<\/li>\n
  8. When Rand Paul puts others on the spot<\/a> – “I have no idea what another candidate says”? Gimme a break.<\/li>\n
  9. Deal in place for DADT repeal<\/a> – I’m unhappy with further delay, but this is a huge step forward … if it passes.<\/li>\n
  10. Nothing ever changes [Thoughts from Kansas]<\/a> – Arguing that Rand Paul should get a pass from Dems on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because there were Dems who opposed it is darned goofy. Especially since most of the Dixiecrat Dems who opposed it shifted over into being Republicans thereafter.<\/li>\n
  11. Tom Toles Editorial Cartoon, May 18, 2010 on GoComics.com<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. Supreme Court Changes Course to Rule for Workers Over Technicalities<\/a> – Refreshing.<\/li>\n
  13. Kraft Miracle Whip and Mayonnaise Downsized<\/a> – I hate either type of stuff, but I hate more these kind of shenanigans.<\/li>\n
  14. AFA’s Fischer: “God is Obviously Looking for More Phinehases in our Day”<\/a> – Um … no. Really … no, He isn’t.<\/li>\n
  15. Get Your Complaints Solved With One Simple Question<\/a> – Very, very clever. Personalizing, bonding, and something that calls for individual honesty.<\/li>\n
  16. Arizona Senate Candidate J.D. Hayworth: US Never Declared War On Germany<\/a> – Maybe he’s been reading history books from Texas …<\/li>\n
  17. Greenwood Indiana High School Circumvents The Law \u2013 Again<\/a> – A fine object lesson they’re teaching the kids: “If you believe in something, it’s fine to sneak around the law for it.” Jesus would respect breaking the law and facing up to it<\/b>. Encouraging a deceit in a holy cause? Not something I find in the New Testament.<\/li>\n
  18. The Apple Store<\/a> – Apple has certainly done a pretty good job of making truly lovely and comfortable gilded cages. And sometimes that’s not a bad thing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
