Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. History’s greatest monsters<\/a> – Seems to me some folks have spent a wee bit too much time gazing into the abyss …<\/li>\n
  2. Ensign hopes his supporters are easily fooled<\/a> – Quite likely they will be.<\/li>\n
  3. All the errors of fact and judgment rolled up into one column<\/a> – “Literally no one is suggesting that the Cordoba House be built ‘at,’ ‘over,’ or ‘on’ Ground Zero — it’s proposed location is a couple of blocks away. Indeed, within a two-block radius of Ground Zero, there are all kinds of establishments — restaurants, coffee shops, office buildings, churches, strip-clubs, etc. — and Feisal Abdul Rauf wants his proposed community center to be among them. What does Ground Zero’s sacred qualities have to do with this? Nothing at all, which is why this debate is so ridiculous.”<\/li>\n
  4. Debunking the dreaded ‘terrorist baby’ threat<\/a> – “No credible information” … that sounds about right.<\/li>\n
  5. Will The Right Sacrifice California to Save Marriage Amendments Elsewhere?<\/a> – Ah, gaming the court system for “justice”!<\/li>\n
  6. Of Love and Revolution<\/a> – “Why is it that the standard right-wing response to votes in Congress or court decisions that they don’t like is to threaten revolution against the U.S.?”<\/li>\n
  7. All Stuff is Nerd Stuff to Somebody<\/a> – Very, very true. People are D&D nerds. Or football nerds. Or cooking nerds. Or homebrew nerds. Or stock nerds. Or …<\/li>\n
  8. Dezeen \u00bb Blog Archive \u00bb Land of Giants by Choi + Shine Architects<\/a> – Cool!<\/li>\n
  9. A Presidential Ramadan Iftar<\/a> – Jeez! What sort of crazy, left-wing, surrender-monkey, crypto-Muslim would write something like, “Stories like the professor’s remind us that one of the great strengths of our nation is its religious diversity. Americans practice many different faiths. But we all share a belief in the right to worship freely. We reject bigotry in all its forms. … My administration has been proud to work closely with Muslim Americans to promote justice and tolerance of all faiths. We’ve also partnered with Muslims around the world to spread freedom to millions of people who have never known it before. We’re helping the people of Iraq and Afghanistan build free societies after decades of tyranny. And during the month of reflection, we will remember all the brave Muslim Americans who wear the uniform of the United States Armed Forces. They represent the best of our nation. I’m honored to be their Commander-in-Chief.” He should be impeached!<\/li>\n
