Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Too Much Work! – Calvin and Hobbes for November 23, 2010<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Jade by Adam Hughes<\/a> – I love me some Adam Hughes. AH!<\/li>\n
  3. Corporations Post Record Profits As Republicans Call For Eliminating The \u2018Insidious\u2019 Corporate Income Tax: Scott Keyes<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Exclusive: In Letter, Gates Dismissed McCain\u2019s Concerns About DADT Study<\/a> – “I do not believe that military policy decisions \u2014 on this or any other subject \u2014 should be made through a referendum of Servicemembers.” That is precisely correct, and it is inane of Sen McCain — himself a veteran officer — to suggest otherwise. Soldiers don’t vote on military policy, for obviously reasons.<\/li>\n
  5. Following Outrage Over TSA Screenings, GOP Reps. Chaffetz And Hoekstra Lead Revived Calls For Profiling<\/a> – Not only does profiling solidify the “us vs them” mentality, it makes assumptions about “them” that are both demonstrably false and actually usable by the hypothetical “bad guys.” So, yes, 80yo grandmothers and 8yo kids could be used, as mules if not as active participants in a plot.<\/li>\n
  6. ‘I cannot fathom why they are doing what they are doing’: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Even conservatives complain about the crisis on the courts: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Corporate profits aren’t exactly faltering<\/a> – “It makes the ‘bad for the bottom line’ tack look pretty silly. In fact, it’s pretty ironic that those complaining about the Obama administration’s alleged ‘anti-business’ policies also happen to making money hand over fist. Corporate profits are up; all of the major Wall Street indexes are up; and private-sector job growth is up, but fat-cat conservatives and corporate lobbyists nevertheless spent the entire year furiously raising money to elect Republicans. They were, apparently, outraged by the scourge of corporate prosperity.”<\/li>\n
  9. The Senate GOP’s inadvertent support for Iran<\/a> – Perhaps it’s not inadvertent. Perhaps it’s looking for an excuse to then take military actions against an emboldened Iran.<\/li>\n
  10. Joss Whedon on Buffy Reboot<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  11. Christmas-Hating Republican Party Selling \u2018Happy Holidays\u2019 Ornaments<\/a> – This is delightful. I can’t wait to hear the AFA raise a might ruckus against the GOP (ha!), which will probably blame Michael Steele for it.<\/li>\n
  12. More Religious Right Groups to Boycott CPAC, Compare GOProud to John Birch Society<\/a> – Really must read this article through to the end. It’s zaniriffic!<\/li>\n
  13. Genie – 11.23.2010<\/a> – Heh<\/li>\n
  14. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe Join Mitch McConnell in Legal Challenge of Health Care Bill<\/a> – I welcome our new “centrist, moderate GOP” overlords. Remember, Snowe and Collins are the “middle of the road” types who Obama’s supposed to be continuously appeasing and reaching out to.<\/li>\n
  15. Randall Terry to Run for Presdient So He Can Air Graphic Anti-Abortion Ads Nationwide<\/a> – Wow. Yet another reason not to watch TV.<\/li>\n
  16. Israeli Court Gives Soldiers Who Used Palestinian Boy As Human Shield Three Month Suspended Sentence<\/a> – What a joke.<\/li>\n
  17. Happy Birthday, Doctor Who<\/a> – Brilliant!<\/li>\n
  18. Information-powered device manages to cheat the laws of thermodynamics [Mad Science]<\/a> – Cool …<\/li>\n
  19. Shocker: Tennessee Megachurch Opposes Getting Taxed<\/a> – As mega-church complexes continue to branch out and turn into virtual strip malls, the question of what is a (tax-exempt) church and what is a (non-tax-exempt) business becomes more and more important.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
