Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved<\/a> – Well, not solved, but it certainly sounds like a much more plausible theory than most …<\/li>\n
  2. New solar energy conversion process discovered<\/a> – If it pans out commercially, this could be seriously big.<\/li>\n
  3. Obama DNI: We can kill you at will; Treasury Dept: And we can punish your lawyers<\/a> – If there is one area where the Obama adminstration has disappointed most, it’s the continuance and furthering of his predecessor’s national security apparatus.<\/li>\n
  4. When David Boies destroyed Tony Perkins on ‘Face the Nation’<\/a> – See, it’s easy for the Right to simply launch ad hominem attacks against Judge Walker, or huff and puff about the “will of the people” — but the simple matter is that, in a trial to defend the constitutional and rational basis for California’s Prop. 8, the defendants simply could not do it. No evil conspiracy, no activist judges — the folks who claimed to have the rock solid case that Teh Gayz are EVIL simply couldn’t do it.<\/li>\n
  5. A Message From the Am***can F**ily A**ociation<\/a> – Wow — if the Wildmon’s had such an incredibly effective filter on their PCs, one wonders how they ever spotted the n**ghty pictures. Or, conversely, why they don’t have those sorts of filters at the AFA’s offices …<\/li>\n
  6. Ted Olson: Same-sex marriage is a conservative value<\/a> – “We believe that a conservative value is stable relationships and stable community and loving individuals coming together and forming a basis that is a building block of our society, which includes marriage.” Makes perfect sense to me.<\/li>\n
  7. San Francisco rolls out new smart parking meters with ‘demand-responsive pricing’<\/a> – Parking meters serve two purposes. The first is to regulate and restrict parking (by forcing turn-over of valuable curb-side parking). The second is to generate revenue. Unfortunately, more and more it seems the former is giving way to the latter.<\/li>\n
  8. The new Torchwood reboot gets a title (and a plot synopsis from Russell T. Davies) [Breaking News]<\/a> – Woot!<\/li>\n
  9. Wikipedia\u2019s Lamest Edit Wars<\/a> – Wikipedia is a grand and beautiful thing. And, like any product of a committee, it’s got some pretty silly aspects.<\/li>\n
  10. Who does Google know that you know?<\/a> – This is more than a bit fascinating. A world-wide web indeed.<\/li>\n
  11. Ted Olson To Chris Wallace On Marriage Equality: \u2018Would You Like Fox\u2019s Right To Free Press Put Up To A Vote?\u2019<\/a> – Tempting …<\/li>\n
  12. Study: Contemporary Mosques Are A Deterrent To The Spread Of Terrorism<\/a> – It’s almost like some of the anti-mosque yahoos actually WANT a violent confrontation and cultural clash with Islam …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
