Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Crystal Cathedral megachurch files for bankruptcy – Boston.com<\/a> – They currently make $2M a month just on donations and “revenue”? And they’ve still managed to rack up $55M in debt? Crikey.<\/li>\n
  2. TERROR<\/a> – Lucky does sort of have that “Nazis opening up the Ark of the Covenant” look about him …<\/li>\n
  3. “I\u2019m wearing a purple ribbon today. (I didn\u2019t own any purple clothing.) I\u2019m wearing…”<\/a> – “Is the difference between loving a man and loving a woman worth fucking hounding someone to death over?”<\/li>\n
  4. Top 10 Uses for Wi-Fi (That Aren’t Just Connecting to the Internet) [Video]<\/a> – Some cool things here I need to follow up on later.<\/li>\n
  5. It’s Not Dementia, It’s Your Heart Medication: Cholesterol Drugs and Memory: Scientific American<\/a> – It is worth remembering that the term “side effect” is misleading. All chemicals introduced to the body have a wide variety of effects with the various bodily systems (and the other medications being taken). The desired effect is what you’re taking the drug “for,” but other effects are possible, even probable, and their prevalence will vary from person to person. There is no such thing as a side-effect-free medication. Awareness of possible side effects is critically important for doctors and patients, even if the probability is low and the benefit of the desired effect is high.<\/li>\n
  6. GOP House Candidate Jesse Kelly Says \u2018It\u2019s Our Job To Protect Ourselves\u2019 From Salmonella Outbreaks<\/a> – “Every portion of our economy that is heavily regulated doesn\u2019t have fewer disasters, it has more.” Really? Give me an example, Mr. Kelly.<\/li>\n
  7. GOP House Candidate Mike Kelly: \u2018There\u2019s Stuff To Be Cut. What Is It? I Can\u2019t Tell You.\u2019<\/a> – So if you have no specifics, Mr Kelly, about what needs to be cut … why are you so convinced that ANYTHING needs to be cut? (That’s a rhetorical question by the way.)<\/li>\n
  8. Brilliant at Breakfast<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Capitalism Would have Killed the Chilean Miners: a Reply to Mr. Henninger \u00bb New Deal 2.0<\/a> – The profit motive can spur innovation, efficiencies, and thinking outside the box. It can also lead to dangerous (but more profitable) practices in safety, quality, and business practice. There is certainly a middle way between Camazotz and “Nature Red in Tooth And Claw” when it comes to economic models.<\/li>\n
  10. 10 Hilarious Looking Owls [cute funny pictures] | Furry Talk<\/a> – This one’s for Katherine.<\/li>\n
  11. The Ten Most Ridiculous-Sounding Math Classes Currently Offered at Liberal-Arts Colleges — Daily Intel<\/a> – Um … most of those sound like perfectly legitimate classes. Some are, I’d guess, actually lit classes (if the Borges class is in the Math Dept., I’d disagree with that). Not quite sure, though, why all the fun-poking going on here.<\/li>\n
  12. Ned Batchelder: Juan Williams is a bigot<\/a> – Yup. Yup, yup, yup. (Oh, and, Juan? Security pix of the 9\/11 bombers? None of them were dressed in “Muslim garb” that I recall.)<\/li>\n
  13. What Does Appeal to Pascal’s Wager Really Say?: tracieh<\/a><\/li>\n
  14. Car Insurance<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
