    \n
  1. BP Launches Effort To Control Scientific Research Of Oil Disaster: Brad<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. The problem with short memories<\/a> – Short memories? Or manipulated memories? If you just keep repeating a lie, pretty soon people start to think it’s the truth.<\/li>\n
  3. Post poll: McInnis losing support, Republicans like Tancredo – The Denver Post<\/a> – Tom “The Only Good Immigrant Is A Deported Immigrant” Tancredo? Crikey. (And color me SHOCKEd that Tom “Yeah I campaigned on a promise to quit after three terms, but let’s go for number four!” Tancfredo is evidently toying with the idea of trying to step into the race.)<\/li>\n
  4. Vitter manages to shed any pretense of class<\/a> – What a creep.<\/li>\n
  5. The Big Lies People Tell In Online Dating \u00ab OkTrends<\/a> – I find the data crunching that OkCupid is willing to do based on their population (and the results they get from their crunching) to be fascinating.<\/li>\n
  6. Saving Kittehs in the Midst of War<\/a> – Waiting for the wingnuts to start warning about the country being quietly invaded by Islamicist Kittehs!<\/li>\n
  7. Boehner eyes a return to failed regulatory policies<\/a> – “I suspect much of the country gives very little thought to regulatory issues, and wouldn’t necessarily recognize why this is radical and dangerous. I’ll just put it this way: if you love lead paint from China, you’ll love the Republican deregulation agenda.” Regulations are perceived only as a cost, with no recognition that, when they do what they are supposed to, we “only” are kept safe and healthy.<\/li>\n
  8. It doesn’t have to be this way<\/a> – “It doesn’t have to be this way, but the political will to act doesn’t exist, and the only segments of the public screaming for political attention are deeply confused anti-government zealots who want the unemployment crisis to be slightly worse.”<\/li>\n
  9. Freelance Writer Now Desperately Seeking Help from McInnis<\/a> – Heh heh heh …<\/li>\n
