Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Right-wingers don’t want to admit to harming the economy, so they call pointing it out ‘conspiracy theories’<\/a> – None dare call it conspiracy.<\/li>\n
  2. Limbaugh’s attack on Obama’s Thanksgiving message pushes the racist envelope even farther<\/a> – Yeesh.<\/li>\n
  3. Family Research Council now officially a ‘hate group’<\/a> – That certainly appears a fairly hateful litany of accusations and calumny.<\/li>\n
  4. The Blank Page, Drawn blog<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  5. Obama Executive Order Leaves In Place Many Bush-Era Policies on Faith-Based Initiatives<\/a> – Unfortunate. It's difficult to tell whether this reflects what Obama really wants, or whether this is another (futile) gesture to the Religious Right (which will continue to question whether he's a True Christian\u2122).<\/li>\n
  6. P.T. Barnum was right [Pharyngula]<\/a> – I thought they’d gone out of business. Alas, apparently, no. Going to the “Creation Museum” to educate your children is, frankly, like going to the Stork Museum to teach them about reproduction.<\/li>\n
  7. The Department of Homeland Security Is Cracking Down On BitTorrent Sites [Seize]<\/a> – When “piracy” is equated to terrorism, between the DHS and the DMCA, nothing online is safe. It’s not just the “bad guys” who have to be worried; all it takes is someone thinking that your site might have something pirated on it to have the government (or your ISP under orders from a big media company) take your site down. Isn’t that spiffy?<\/li>\n
  8. Evolution is the coin of the realm<\/a> – Given the brouhaha that comes up around stamps, it’s probably just as well we don’t put anyone but dead presidents on our coins. Heck, I’m surprised that FDR is still on the dime, given what an Officially Awful Person he is in some political quarters (so to speak). And Jefferson on the nickel, after all of his church-state separation talk? Egad!<\/li>\n
  9. Build WordPress themes smarter: 19 theme frameworks compared<\/a> – Some good info here if you’re looking for some robust WP themes, free and otherwise.<\/li>\n
  10. Davison joins Law and Order: UK<\/a> – Fun. Though I liked the old CPS Director.<\/li>\n
  11. Imaginary Death Panels vs. The Real Deal<\/a> – The death panels are real, and they are controlled by the Republicans. Who’d a thunk?<\/li>\n
  12. This is What you Get: Custom Windows \/ Linux Box vs. Mac<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  13. Fast Food Mafia<\/a> – There’s a great writing project there …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
