Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Administration Seeks Easy Access To Americans’ Private Online Communications | American Civil Liberties Union<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Stop the Internet Blacklist! | Demand Progress<\/a> – Anyone who thinks that Big Media won’t abuse this (or that the government won’t find other, less savory means of leveraging this mechanism) is not paying attention.<\/li>\n
  3. This is a news website article about a scientific finding | Martin Robbins | Science | guardian.co.uk<\/a> – This is where I’ll make a witty comment to justify sharing this article. Or else I’ll just say, “Cool.”<\/li>\n
  4. 6 Romantic Movie Gestures That Can Get You Prison Time | Cracked.com<\/a> – I’m shocked, shocked to discover that whacky movie cliches aren’t actually smiled upon by the authorities when done in real life …<\/li>\n
  5. As L.S.S.I. Takes Over Libraries, Patrons Can\u2019t Keep Quiet – NYTimes.com<\/a> – I don’t see public libraries as benefiting from a for-profit approach.<\/li>\n
  6. Catholic Monks In Wyoming Face Opposition Over Monastery Plans<\/a> – Although it doesn’t sound like the problem is anti-Catholicism, and nothing like the brouhaha over Park51.<\/li>\n
  7. Haunted Mansion t-shirt with Ghost Host’s spiel – Boing Boing<\/a> – Sweet.<\/li>\n
  8. Effective jobs bill to die in just a few days<\/a> – “Indeed, in a sane political world, the death of the TANF Emergency Fund would be a pretty big scandal, and Republicans would be afraid to kill an effective jobs program with an unemployment rate near 10%. Instead, the GOP is counting on being rewarded by Americans for taking steps like these, and polls suggest that’s exactly what’s going to happen.”<\/li>\n
  9. It’s not just the bugs that stink<\/a> – Yes, I very much want to see the Tenther response to this.<\/li>\n
  10. Ilario Pantano’s creative editing<\/a> – Well, one certainly has to admire his editorial chutzpah.<\/li>\n
  11. Maj. Margaret Witt finds justice in federal court<\/a> – I salute you, Major. Thank you for your service, and your desire to continue it.<\/li>\n
  12. Sessions thinks GOP has been ‘too generous’ on judicial nominees<\/a> – Yeah, and we know the GOP can’t stand generosity …<\/li>\n
  13. Randall Terry Launching Quran-Destroying Campaign Because That Is What Jesus Would Want<\/a> – (1) Jesus spoke out exclusively against the leadership of the religion he belonged to; he said nothing about the pagan Romans, nor did he advocate burning the works of Hesiod nor Homer. (2) Okay, the history buff in me has to give at least a small nod to Mr Terry for remembering the Battle of Lepanto, though I reject his theology of a “Church Militant” or the idea that Jesus and Mary are up there rooting for the slaughter of the other side.<\/li>\n
  14. Dinesh D\u2019Souza\u2019s poison<\/a> – “The fact that both Clinton and Obama\u2019s critics became obsessed with the person rather than his policies suggests that those critics have no faith in the public\u2019s ability to grapple with abstract issues, rather than alleged personal failings. The shrillness of the hysteria around the last two Democratic presidents also suggests a conservative sense of entitlement towards holding power”<\/li>\n
  15. Why worry about the water levels in Lake Mead?<\/a> – Wow. The NASA page cited there has some even scarier info.<\/li>\n
  16. Guinness World Records 2011: Most bottles recycled by a dog – TODAY<\/a> – Good boy!<\/li>\n
  17. The Church’s special responsibility to the rich<\/a> – “… which, in the global calculus would mean most Americans …”<\/li>\n
  18. Raving Rabbids Scream Their Way Into A Live-Action TV Show<\/a> – I … really don’t see this as a TV show. Or not as a TV show I want to watch. I enjoy the games, but … um, no.<\/li>\n
  19. Rocky Horror Picture Show’s Cult Following Just Doesn’t Have The Energy Anymore | The Onion – America’s Finest News Source<\/a> – Ha!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
