Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n

  1. A Pastor of Public Relations – NYTimes.com<\/a> – “It\u2019s a case point of this guy using the traditional news to have something go viral. \u2026 This is nothing more than a publicity stunt \u2014 someone waving their arms saying, ‘Hey, look at me! Look at me!’ And guess what, we did.” Unfortunately, it tends to be the loony fringe who get the most attention, not just in the US, but around the world.<\/li>\n
  2. 40 Stunning Photos of Beautiful Clouds<\/a> – It can be a beautiful world, sometimes.<\/li>\n
  3. 5 Worries Parents Should Drop, And 5 They Shouldn’t : Shots – Health News Blog : NPR<\/a> – “We\u2019re teaching [kids] to be helpless. And because we\u2019re so afraid of the world, we\u2019re teaching them to be afraid of the world.” Fear is a good and reasonable thing. Fear of dangers that are highly unlikely, though, is corrosive, and, worse, distracts from basic dangers that are much more common (but that aren’t “The Top Story Tonight at Action Center 4!”).<\/li>\n
  4. A Present – SMBC September 05, 2010<\/a> – This is only funny because of recent episodes with the cats.<\/li>\n
  5. Gallup poll shock!<\/a> – See, this is why I don’t pay a huge amount of attention to, or stress out over, these sorts of big polls, at least until things seriously stabilize and we’re a lot closer to The Day.<\/li>\n
  6. Placebin DM Extra Strength<\/a> – Ha!<\/li>\n
  7. Hot Tub Planet<\/a> – “The basic problem with the theory of intelligent design and it\u2019s designer universe ilk is not that it contradicts evolution, but that everything is so obviously designed by a committee of idiots.”<\/li>\n
  8. Correlations – SMBC September 08, 2010<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Then and now<\/a> – TEH CUTE!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
