Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. The Ken Buck Rape Case | Mother Jones<\/a> – This wasn’t a “she-said, he-said” case. It was a “she-accused, he-confessed” case, and Buck still didn’t prosecute. The other factors mentioned are interesting, but fail to address this core fact.<\/li>\n
  2. Rand Paul Head-Stomper To Victim: \u2018I Would Like For Her To Apologize To Me\u2019<\/a> – The last refuge of the bully: playing the victim.<\/li>\n
  3. Asked If Being Gay Is A Choice, Joe Miller Dodges And Says \u2018It Really Is A State Issue\u2019<\/a> – It’s a state choice! Except when the states choose wrong! Then it’s a federal choice! Except when the feds choose wrong! Then it’s a state choice! Except …<\/li>\n
  4. Nook Deletes All Your Files, Barnes & Nobles Shrugs<\/a> – I have not updated my bookshelves in a while, but, mercifully, the used books I have there have not vanished. Except the ones I chose to give away.<\/li>\n
  5. Arkansas School Board Member Says He\u2019ll Only Wear Purple If \u201cQueers\u201d \u201cCommit Suicide\u201d<\/a> – Stay classy, Arkansas!<\/li>\n
  6. Alaska GOP Senate Nominee Joe Miller Admitted Lying About After Being Caught In Ethics Violation<\/a> – Note this is all of two years ago.<\/li>\n
  7. The Hobbit Shall Not Pass… Out of New Zealand After All<\/a> – Huzzah!<\/li>\n
  8. Is Downward Dog The Path to Hell?<\/a> – Yes, because once you start taking yoga, “loneliness, alcoholism, and promiscuity” are the well-known, inevitable results …<\/li>\n
  9. The US Religious Right and the LGBT Crisis In Uganda<\/a> – And they’ll know we are Christians by our love …<\/li>\n
  10. Viagra for convicted rapists?: Bizarre false claim gets anti-Ed Perlmutter ad yanked (VIDEO) – Denver News – The Latest Word<\/a> – I’m finding it interesting the number of stations that are (belatedly) fact-checking and yanking some of these ads.<\/li>\n
  11. The New No. 2<\/a> – Wow — some pretty massive changes to Disney California Adventures. Kind of glad I finally got a chance to see the “before,” so I can hopefully appreciate the “after” …<\/li>\n
  12. Calvin and Hobbes for October 27, 2010<\/a><\/li>\n
  13. Dudes At Yale Pick Knuckles Up Off the Ground Just Long Enough to Type Some Nonsense [On Becoming a Domestic and Laboratory Goddess]<\/a> – Translated: “Well, yes, they went too far with their little button-pushing shenanigans, but boys will be boys and no harm, no foul, right? Lighten up, ladies! Come on over for a brewski or two!”<\/li>\n
  14. U.S. College Degrees by County<\/a> – The concentration of higher education in urban areas is much greater than I’d expected – and rather disturbing, too. Compare the “reddest” areas with the “red states,” too.<\/li>\n
  15. Cookie – strip for October \/ 26 \/ 2010<\/a> – This is why I don’t keep cookies around me. Well, not for long, anyway.<\/li>\n
  16. BBC News – US mid-term election spending nears $2bn mark<\/a> – The best government money (er, “corporate free speech!”) can buy.<\/li>\n
  17. San Francisco Earthquake & Fire<\/a> – Remarkable post-Fire films. Devastated landscapes, still-smoldering ruins, building demolitions, tent cities … but also, a lot of folks still carrying out life and living as before.<\/li>\n
  18. San Diego Zoo Gets Funky<\/a> – Cool.<\/li>\n
  19. Star Trek cited by Texas Supreme Court<\/a> – Not sure if I should be amused, or make a snarky comment about the uproar from some quarters if the same lines had been attributed to a European court.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
