Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Glee vs copyright: do as I say, not as I do<\/a> – Which goes to show that people have a very different idea of what copyright should mean vs. what the courts (egged on by copyright holders) say it does mean.<\/li>\n
  2. Plenty of angles on Angle<\/a> – I still expect that Reid will play it “safe” during the rest of the election year, which minimizes the chance for any significant progressive legislation to go anywhere in the Senate.<\/li>\n
  3. Lindsey Graham pulls away the football, again<\/a> – Sure, it means we end up with no comprehensive energy or climate legislation, but at least the GOP gets to win some points! Woo-hoo!<\/li>\n
  4. The inherent challenge of ‘what it all means’<\/a> – The brain tries to find patterns, even where none exist. The media seems compelled to do the same.<\/li>\n
  5. CA Voters Overwhelmingly Reject Better Courts Now Candidates<\/a> – Well, there’s some good news.<\/li>\n
  6. Rep. Ike Skelton is concerned DADT repeal would harm the children.<\/a> – Actually, his concern seems less that it will harm the children than that it will put parents in a position of having to explain homosexuality to their kids. Egad, Of course, this can be done without an anatomy lessons (“Just like mommy and daddy love each other, most of the time men and women love each other, but sometimes men and men fall in love and women and women fall in love, and sometimes some people love both that way”). Of course, that would require actually admitting that homosexuality is about something other than GRAPHIC HARDCORE EVIL SEX … just as heterosexuality is.<\/li>\n
  7. Conservatives Love the Constitution. Except When They Don’t. : Dispatches from the Culture Wars<\/a> – As George put it, “Constitutional fine-tuning for me, but not for thee.”<\/li>\n
  8. No excuse for being skinny!<\/a> – An interesting glimpse into the days, not all that long ago, when being skinny wasn’t a fashion statement, it was an indication that you were possibly malnourished.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
