Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. CNN.com looks at why the web benefits liberals more than conservatives.<\/a> – Money graf: “In short, the web benefits Liberals more than Conservatives because the web is Liberal by its very nature and just look how successful that approach has been for it. Had it been more Conservative in nature I doubt it would ever have been the phenomena it has turned out to be.” See: AOL. Or, I believe, in the long run, Facebook.<\/li>\n
  2. What They Do Best<\/a> – Heh heh heh …<\/li>\n
  3. How Our Laws Are Made<\/a> – “I’m just a bill. Yes, I’m only a bill. And I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill …”<\/li>\n
  4. Fordlandia: novelistic history of Henry Ford’s doomed midwestern town in the Amazon jungle<\/a> – I’ve read several articles about this book (and historic episode). I wish it were available as an audiobook, but I may put it on my list regardless.<\/li>\n
  5. iPhone data usage: we show you ours, please show us yours<\/a> – On the one hand, I've seen a fair amount of analysis that AT&T's new capped data plans will cause problems for only a select few. By the same token, I expect to see mobile data usage only increase over time — and, honestly, even if you're nowhere near the limit, do you always want to be worrying about it?<\/li>\n
  6. The Impeachment Of Barack Obama<\/a> – Money graf: “Republicans will attempt to impeach Barack Obama. The \u201cwhy\u201d of the matter is completely insignificant. They\u2019ll find something and work overtime to make it appear to be the Greatest Scandal Ever. It\u2019s just a matter of time. Provided, of course, that they have the numbers.” Which is probably one of the more persuasive arguments I’ve heard for keeping the GOP out of congressional majorities for as long as possible.<\/li>\n
  7. How long can a human live unprotected in space?<\/a> – More on survival (and death) in the vacuum of space (previously linked here) at http:\/\/bit.ly\/daIw8D<\/a> and http:\/\/bit.ly\/cYUksX<\/a> …<\/li>\n
  8. FLASHBACK: Greer Made Big Show Of Cutting Up His AmEx Card (It Wasn’t His)<\/a> – About all the cost-cutting veracity you’d expect from the GOP.<\/li>\n
  9. Study Finds Blacks Blocked From Southern Juries – NYTimes.com<\/a> – Glad to see the South is maintaining those nice, homespun traditions …<\/li>\n
  10. Andrew Wakefield tried to connect the MMR vaccine to Crohn’s before implicating it in autism. – By Nayanah Siva – Slate Magazine<\/a> – If at first you don’t succeed (at coming up with a radical and unverified theory related to vaccines that will profit you mightily), try, try again!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
