Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Wells Fargo to amend 55,000 foreclosures – Yahoo! News<\/a> – And would they have even looked for those errors of the AGs and Feds weren’t breathing down their backs?<\/li>\n
  2. Firms Knew of Cement Flaws Before Spill, Panel Says – NYTimes.com<\/a> – Not the sole cause, but very likely one of a chain (and one that could have been avoided).<\/li>\n
  3. It’s a good thing Obama saved the auto industry, cont’d: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Why Am I Conservative?<\/a> – Because it’s never too early to lay out those partisan lines for your kids! (And if the chapter note \/ study guide is any indication, this looks … pretty awful, as history at least.)<\/li>\n
  5. Danno Has Died: James MacArthur, 72<\/a> – Interestingly, he wasn’t cast as Danno in the pilot. At any rate, RIP.<\/li>\n
  6. I Can Has Ray Gunz! Cat-People in Science Fiction | Tor.com | Science fiction and fantasy | Blog posts<\/a> – ‘Nuff said.<\/li>\n
  7. ACLU: Know Your Rights on Election Day<\/a> – And how sad is it that people need to carry around a voting rights pamphlet, in this country, to make sure that some yahoo poll watcher who doesn’t like the cut of your jib (or color of your skin) doesn’t play shenanigans to challenge your vote?<\/li>\n
  8. Bennet’s faith is entirely ‘mainstream’<\/a> – It’s outside the “mainstream … of folks who demand their elected representatives attend church every day and twice on Sunday and that it be a doctrinally acceptable church to them and not one of those weird foreign or liberal churches (some of which aren’t really churches at all, y’know?)” is what I think Erickson means.<\/li>\n
  9. Jacobs: “Filling the Arsenals of God’s Media Army” To Stop the Islamification of Fox News<\/a> – I wonder if Fox News will report on that.<\/li>\n
  10. Judge Bus: Fighting the Shakespearean-Evolutionary Conspiracy To Warehouse Iowa’s Children<\/a> – What the hell are they serving in the drinking water at these rallies?<\/li>\n
  11. Peter King Claims American Muslim Communities \u2018Do Not Cooperate\u2019 To Combat Terrorism<\/a> – Yeah! Why do they keep all banding together, just because we keep accusing them of all banding together? They must be EVIL!<\/li>\n
  12. Steve King Says Children Will Be Raised In \u2018Warehouses\u2019 If Conservatives Don\u2019t \u2018Defend Marriage\u2019<\/a> – Wait! I’m sure there’s big money to be made by the buildings industry to construct child warehouses! We should get some industry-friendly model legislation written up!<\/li>\n
  13. NPR Reports On ThinkProgress\u2019 Investigation Of Prison Industries\u2019 Role In Crafting Anti-Immigrant Laws<\/a> – We get the base all riled up about those darned illegals AND we make tons of money building prisons! It’s win-win for everyone!<\/li>\n
  14. ‘Standing Tall for Tyranny’\u2014DOJ follows through on Ashcroft immunity request: Gaius Publius<\/a><\/li>\n
  15. REPORT: 104 Republicans In Congress Want To Privatize Social Security<\/a> – Lovely. We just saw a near-collapse of the markets, funds, financial institutions … and these GOPers want to risk people’s last-resort retirement savings on that.<\/li>\n
  16. EPIC CROSSOVERS<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  17. Igor A. Gusev, Leader of SpamIt, Investigated by Russian Police – NYTimes.com<\/a> – Occasionally autocratic “crackdowns” have some positive social effect.<\/li>\n
  18. China Just Kicked Our Asses In Supercomputing [Supercomputers]<\/a> – Worth noting for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that China’s willing (and able) to invest this sort of money for what is, on one level, a patriotic oneupsmanship exercise, and, on another level, a demonstration of growing dominance in a variety of areas. Meanwhile, we in the US are waving around foam “We’re Number One!” fingers, cutting education budgets, and arguing how fast multi-millionaires should get still richer.<\/li>\n
  19. America’s True History of Religious Tolerance | History & Archaeology | Smithsonian Magazine<\/a> – A very good article on the ups and downs of religious tolerance in America. The comments, alas, demonstrate the argument is hardly over.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
