Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Hints of the GOP’s ‘culture of corruption’ already making a comeback<\/a> – Ah, but if they threaten to defund any office that investigates them, who’s to stop ’em?<\/li>\n
  2. 2010 Right Wing Candidates Weekly Update 9\/22: Brian<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Wonk Room \u00bb Soldier Discharged Through E-mail Responds To McCain: \u2018I\u2019m Just Dumbfounded\u2019 By His Statements<\/a> – John McCain forgot (or lied about) something he was told about that was inconvenient to his political talking points? I’m shocked!<\/li>\n
  4. McCarthy Claims \u2018No One Has A Proposal Up To Cut Social Security,\u2019 But His Own Book Proposes Cutting It: Pat G.<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Doctor Who and Cultural Appreciation<\/a> – So how much trouble would a teacher get into for showing a Doctor Who episode to get his\/her students more interested in a given historical figure?<\/li>\n
  6. Child Themes \u00ab WordPress Codex<\/a> – I seriously need to take a look at this. I have blogs where I’ve made substantial mods under the hood and now cannot easily upgrade to more recent versions of the themes without that retrofitting.<\/li>\n
  7. Who You Gonna Believe? – Paul Krugman – NYTimes.com<\/a> – As has been said before, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not to their own facts.<\/li>\n
  8. Middle Earth Tube Map<\/a> – Delightful.<\/li>\n
  9. Political Speech – SMBC September 22, 2010<\/a> – YES!<\/li>\n
  10. iFlux Capacitor<\/a> – Again, this could be cool enough to actually buy an iPad for. (Though I’m not planning to.)<\/li>\n
  11. Someone in Sen. Saxby Chambliss’ Atlanta office posted ‘All Faggots Must Die’ comment @ Joe.My.God<\/a> – Minor kudos to Chambliss for at least (saying he’s) investigating this.<\/li>\n
  12. No Time To Pet The Pearl<\/a> – O’Donnell’s policy positions and ideology are disturbing enough. She also appears to be a clumsy liar with a martyr complex and no appreciation for her neighbors. And she could be a new GOP Senator.<\/li>\n
  13. What does urban sprawl look like?: Ed Darrell<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
