Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Blockbuster finally gives in, files for bankruptcy<\/a> – Another nasty blow to strip malls nationwide.<\/li>\n
  2. ThinkProgress finds missing page from GOP election ‘Pledge’: John Aravosis (DC)<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. State warns Bay Area bars not to infuse drinks | Full Page<\/a> – We will continue to infuse drinks in our household. So there, California ABC!<\/li>\n
  4. Pushing back against a ‘war on arithmetic’: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Science-based medicine attacked in a surprising way<\/a> – I concur that erring on the side of safety is the only sane way we can do this (I believe thalidomide looked safe early on, too) — but the FDA should certainly be making sure that these studies are acted on as promptly as possible so as to not add i any extra delays, and consider limited or highly caveated ways to make experimental but very promising therapies available to more people sooner. In a case where known treatments are unlikely to work, and there’s a cure that has been established in the short run as being a life extender, some thought ought to be given to whether folks should be able to choose their own gamble.<\/li>\n
  6. Democrats Don\u2019t Want To Act On Taxes For Fear Of Being Criticized; Republicans Criticize Anyway. Who Could Have Predicted?<\/a> – I very much don’t want the Dems to take the beating I expect they will, but if they do, they have to take a lot of strategic responsibility for being to gutless to confront the GOP, to stick together as a party, and to be so fearful over people who are going to accuse them of eating babies and raising taxes regardless of what they do (and whether it’s true or not).<\/li>\n
  7. September 22, 2010 : Savage Love | The A.V. Club<\/a> – “You gotta give \u2019em hope.” This may be a very good way to do just that.<\/li>\n
  8. Finding My Spam Magnets<\/a> – Giving this a try. I’ve had an unusually large upsurge in spam to my blog this month. It’s pretty much all been caught, but …<\/li>\n
  9. Jackie Chan.gif<\/a> – The outtakes are, always, the best part.<\/li>\n
  10. This Is How Much We Text Now [Texting]<\/a> – Still can’t figure out the “texting during sex” thing. Unless it’s, like, during an agreed-upon pause in the action, or whilst one partner is off powdering their nose, it strikes me as just about as hazardous to your (love) life as texting whilst driving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
