    \n
  1. Looking for love in all the wrong places<\/a> – Man, I hope there are folks asking this question.<\/li>\n
  2. Ohio Republicans Announce They’ll Cut Medicaid To Fund… You Guessed It, More Tax Cuts!<\/a> – Tax cuts uber alles.<\/li>\n
  3. Garfield the Cat Makes the News<\/a> – Oops. Also, Davis has comics in the can almost a year ahead? Yeesh.<\/li>\n
  4. Italian Popular Gestures<\/a> – I suppose I should take notes …<\/li>\n
  5. Alabama Schools Paddle Kids With No Way For Parents To Opt-Out<\/a> – Gee, if it’s decided that he’s a bad teacher, can he be paddled, too?<\/li>\n
  6. AT&T fighting before Supreme Court to deny consumers class action lawsuits<\/a> – But … but … aren’t corporations just big, lovable, free-speech-wielding people?<\/li>\n
  7. Cats use gravity, inertia, gecko-like process to lap up cream<\/a> – Very, very cool.<\/li>\n
  8. Consumer Web Software Seeps Into the Workplace<\/a> – Yup. Software and technology are now flowing from home to business, not the other way around.<\/li>\n
  9. Thanksgiving warning: Deep-fried turkey a danger<\/a> – This is focused almost exclusively on open flame \/ propane turkey fryers — which, yes, are dangerous if not handled well. I bought Margie an electric one some years ago, which avoids the open flame and lack of thermostat (but which can still cause problems if you put a wet or still partially frozen bird into it).<\/li>\n
  10. Sex toy drive-thru: Alabama shop to offer window service | al.com<\/a> – “Would you like that super-sized?”<\/li>\n
  11. Amateur Photog captures grizzly chasing bison down highway in Yellowstone – Boing Boing<\/a> – Wow. A pretty remarkable slide show. (And, yes, bears are fast — humans can’t out-run them.)<\/li>\n
  12. FDA proposes graphic warnings on cigarette packs – The Denver Post<\/a> – I’ve seen labels like this on overseas packages for years, far more gruesome than the rather staid, unobtrusive ones that US packages have had for years.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
