  1. Functional Exoskeleton for the Disabled<\/a> – Wow. Very, very cool.<\/li>\n
  2. Conflicted meat-eaters may deny that meat-animals have the capacity to suffer, study finds<\/a> – Like Les, I enjoy meat too much not to eat it, but I am well aware of my own squeamishness when it comes to killing critters (as demonstrated with the cats bring in half-live playtoys), as well as my denial, not that farm animals can suffer, but that they actually do unreasonably except in cases of neglect or abuse. It’s a rather squidgy mess of cognitive dissonance I haven’t quite figured out. But I’m not going vegan in the meantime.<\/li>\n

  5. That was quick<\/a> – “Vote GOP: We’ll put Wall Street safeguards back to 2008 levels!”<\/li>\n
  6. Georgia GOP Candidate Handel On Why She Doesn\u2019t Think Gays Are Suitable Parents: \u2018Because I Don\u2019t\u2019<\/a> – Well, as long as you have a good reason for it, ma’am.<\/li>\n
  7. GOP Reps. Cite The Bible To Support Harsh Crackdowns Against Undocumented Immigrants<\/a> – Reps. Smith and King might want to check out Matthew 25:31-46. Not to mention Hebrews 13:2.<\/li>\n
  8. Review of the must-read book: Merchants of Doubt – How a handful of scientists obscured the truth on issues from smoke to global warming<\/a> – May need to put this on the wish list …<\/li>\n
  9. Coraline vs. puppeteer: how stop-motion animations are made | Best Funny Gifs and Animated Pics Updated Daily – Gif Bin<\/a> – This. Is. AWESOME.<\/li>\n
