Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. “Ain’t That a Kick In the Head?”<\/a> – Some interesting insights into what cartoons can (and can’t) show.<\/li>\n
  2. Invocation Infraction: N.C. Commission Votes To Continue Sectarian Prayer \u00ab The Wall of Separation<\/a> – I simply do not understand folks who do not understand the difference between a personal, private prayer, and one offered on behalf of the government, representing all people. It’s like saying, “I like blue Mustangs, which is why the county board of supervisors needs to pass a resolution indicating that blue Mustangs are the only car that true-blue North Carolinians should drive.”<\/li>\n
  3. Police Chiefs Come Out Against Arizona Anti-Immigrant Law<\/a> – Amusingly enough, the "pro-Law-&-Order" Right dismisses this as "well, that's just the political police chiefs speaking, vs. the rank-and-file who wholly support what we're doing."<\/li>\n
  4. Far Right Christian Group Warns That \u2018Gay Blood\u2019 Will Destroy Our Military If DADT Is Repealed<\/a> – Lovely. “Gays = Perverts = AIDS = Evil = Future Devastation of True-Blue American Straight Soldiers”<\/li>\n
  5. In a Wicked Amber<\/a> – Some fun analysis of the game we were in last weekend. I’ll be commenting in the comments …<\/li>\n
  6. Anchoring [The Frontal Cortex]<\/a> – Interesting … you really do only get a single chance to make a first impression.<\/li>\n
  7. Why Paying More For Brand Name Drugs Is Folly<\/a> – It’s enough to give you a splitting headache …<\/li>\n
  8. Because\u2026<\/a> – The good, the bad, the ukulele.<\/li>\n
  9. Poor People Spend 9% Of Income On Lottery Tickets<\/a> – Sad …<\/li>\n
  10. Embarrassed by the Ignorance (and Craziness) of its Base, GOP Removes \u201cNew Ideas\u201d from Site \u00ab SpeakEasy<\/a> – “The GOP — Deleting New Ideas Since 1980!”<\/li>\n
  11. Top Five Places to Enjoy Ice Cream at Walt Disney World<\/a> – Taking notes, taking notes …<\/li>\n
  12. Lost Finale Reaction “The End\u201d<\/a> – Never watched Lost. Never had a desire to after it became clear that if I missed the first three episodes I’d be playing catch-up FOREVER. Consensus from Lost fans seems to be that the finale was fairly satisfying, which I feel good for them about. As for me — I’m just glad I don’t have to listen to Lost fans waxing lyrical about Lost any more …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
