Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. National Review Writers Defend County Whose Subscription-Only Firefighters Watched Home Burn Down<\/a> – Clearly the Good Samaritan was “soggy” because he enabled the robbed man to get away with not having paid for a bodyguard. Lesson learned, compassionate conservatives!<\/li>\n
  2. First Monday in October<\/a> – An array of interesting cases coming up — including the infamous Fred Phelps. As much as I would love to see the Court beat him about the head and shoulders with sticks, I’d rather see a vigorous upholding of the First Amendment.<\/li>\n
  3. Santorum Slamming JFK, Secularism<\/a> – ” What Santorum seems to want is a kind of double standard: religious conservatives can take part in public debate but should be shielded from criticism. They can engage in legal and political advocacy, but if they lose they can claim the process has been stacked against them by sinister anti-religious forces.”<\/li>\n
  4. Government spending for me, but not for thee: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Obama’s Definition of Rich is Wrong – Rachel Marsden – Townhall Conservative<\/a> – Another person who weeps and wails over the idea that a family of two where each person is making $125K is not only not rich, but might actually be considered poor. Um … no.<\/li>\n
  6. Graham Reportedly Terrified That Fox News Would Learn That He Was Negotiating A Climate Bill<\/a> – A true Profile in Courage.<\/li>\n
  7. Classic Daleks will be back after all, promises Steven Moffat<\/a> – Actually, Steven, what I’d really like is to not see the Daleks (or the Cybermen) for, oh, at least a year. Really. Make them something less than ubiquitous across time and space. Yes, they are great bad guys. Overexposure does not help that status.<\/li>\n
  8. If you do this in an email, I hate you – The Oatmeal<\/a> – Oh my God, it’s every complaint I’ve ever had about email EVER, wrapped up in one horrific yet hysterical page.<\/li>\n
  9. Remembered Time – SMBC October 04, 2010<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. Historic audio at risk, thanks to bad copyright laws<\/a> – I’m sure that some people wonder why, if someone can’t make money off it, stuff should be preserved …<\/li>\n
  11. Pretzel nation: Many combinations of sex – Health – Sexual health – Sexploration – msnbc.com<\/a> – I’ll confess my repertoire falls somewhat short of 41, but we managed to have a rollicking good time. I have little doubt this study will lead to great fulminating and screedifying in some quarters (ostensibly under the cover of health concerns), but to me it points to the need for constructive education and discussion, not Thou Shallt Nots and fearmongering.<\/li>\n
  12. Giant Prehistoric Penguin Found, Sported Splashes of Red<\/a> – “Never mind the cute-and-cuddly, Rico — send the new guy in and have him TAKE those herring snacks for us!”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
