Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Here’s your first look at the SHIELD Helicarrier from the Avengers<\/a> – Woot!<\/li>\n
  2. Things I Don\u2019t Have to Think About Today: John Scalzi<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Krugman Rebuts Right-Wing Charge of ‘Surge’ in Government Spending<\/a> – “The thing about Krugman is that he’s really wedded to the idea that presenting concrete facts will change the discussion. He doesn’t understand that the right wing will simply create new ‘facts’ to justify their accusations”<\/li>\n
  4. When did the V.A. become such a far-right target?<\/a> – “Limbaugh and Buck think they’d be better off being privatized, but that’s largely because they’re popping off on a subject they don’t understand.” And because there are monied interests that would love to have VA funding going to their for-profit institutions.<\/li>\n
  5. Angle plays Nevadans for fools<\/a> – I vote with the second choice. Let’s see if they prove her right.<\/li>\n
  6. Fed Says They\u2019ll Go After Marijuana Users Even If California Legalizes It<\/a> – Yes, they will oppose it because … it’s wrong? It’s dangerous? It’s a threat to the nation? No, because it will “greatly complicate federal drug enforcement efforts to the detriment of our citizens.” The War on Drugs remains largely interested in simply continuing the War on Drugs.<\/li>\n
  7. Carly Fiorina Refuses To Say How She\u2019ll Pay For Tax Cuts<\/a> – But it will still win her votes.<\/li>\n
  8. Lindsey Graham: Obama Doing A \u201cTakeover Of Most Of Society\u201d: Alan<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Twitter Mood Predicts The Stock Market<\/a> – The problem with the “problems” noted is that the stock market is not a solely (or even primarily) rational beast, no matter how it’s painted by financial types. It’s greatly dependent upon mood, as informing the professional judgment of investors great and small. Discovering that Twitter as a means of surveying mood in general would be generally predictive (barring large, explicit, sudden events) would not at all be surprising.<\/li>\n
  10. Setting the table<\/a> – This is a discussion Margie and I get into on occasion.<\/li>\n
  11. Opera calls for browser extension standard | Deep Tech – CNET News<\/a> – Of course, creating a standard for extensions would obsolete extensions that weren’t part of that standard, and would make less popular browsers more popular. Both of which help Opera. Which isn’t to say it isn’t a good idea for other reasons, or that Opera isn’t a good browser, but it’s hardly just technological altruism driving Opera’s suggestion.<\/li>\n
  12. Curious Creative kitchen gadgets – 32 Pics<\/a> – Some of these are not new. A couple of them are brilliant. Most look just goofy. And we own one of them.<\/li>\n
  13. Nice Economy You\u2019ve Got There . . .<\/a> – “But this is the basic position of every big corporate interest: if you don\u2019t let us do what we want to do, the economy will suffer.”<\/li>\n
  14. Now you can buy copies of successful college applications<\/a> – On the one hand, people cribbing applications they way they buy online school papers is pretty sad. On the other hand, the guy selling them has a point — what are the colleges actually looking for here. You can find places giving (sometimes for a fee) advice on applications; is that substantively different if an applicant uses these examples in that same way?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
