Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. BBC News – Vivaldi sonatas found in archive<\/a> – Cool …<\/li>\n
  2. FOX: Serious News Is Serious<\/a> – Stay classy, Fox!<\/li>\n
  3. Speaking of Fox News …<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Quantum Mechanics – Irregular Webcomic! #2853<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. A Win In Louisiana: Textbook Council Backs Bona Fide Biology Books<\/a> – Good on them!<\/li>\n
  6. Let’s Get It Started In Here<\/a> – I am very glad to see there is at least a paper effort to look at prosecutions in the banking crisis. My biggest concern at this point is that the investigation could easily drag on past 2012 … and at that point a GOP president could (and almost certainly would) easily quash it.<\/li>\n
  7. TSA HULK is green monster of compassionate insight: dof<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Soros To Progressive Funders: If Obama Can’t Fight Back, It’s Time To Start Looking Somewhere Else<\/a> – But … but … I was just assured by a Palin supporter on my blog that only the extreme left (“George Soros”) doesn’t realize that Obama is out to destroy the country … does this mean that Soros is more or less EEEVIIILLLL than Obama? I’m so confused!<\/li>\n
  9. About that Ghailani verdict…<\/a> – The assumption seems to be, “He didn’t get convicted of stuff we believe he’s guilty of, so the system didn’t work.” Then why bother having trials at all? (Answer: because we are not monsters.)<\/li>\n
  10. Republican fiscal hawks avoid Appropriations Committee like the plague<\/a> – “Yeah, be careful what you ask for. You get elected grandstanding about government overspending, you might actually have to \u2026 you know, put your name to SPECIFICS on where to cut government spending. And no one wants to run two years down the line on killing popular programs\u2014and every program has some constituency that actually uses it, benefits from it, feels allegiance to it.”<\/li>\n
  11. Johns Hopkins doctor on TSA scanners: ‘statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays’<\/a> – Regarding normal X-ray machines, it’s standard medical protocol to MINIMIZE the number of X-rays someone goes through. It seems premature to suggest that maximizing the number of scanner screenings for air travelers will have no effect.<\/li>\n
  12. Senator Jay Rockefeller Wishes FOX News and MSNBC Would Just Stop Existing<\/a> – Great. Wait for folks on the Right to pick this up as a “The Democrats want to censor us!” meme. Note: as much as I despise Fox “News” and the damage they do to political discourse and fact deficits in this country, I will “defend to the death” their rights to do so (and my right to call them dolts).<\/li>\n
  13. Be More Productive by Waking Up Early [Productivity]<\/a> – I am motivated to get up early largely so that I get home at a reasonable hour. Unfortunately, I get up so early that it’s not always possible to “expose myself to sunlight” …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
