Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Rep. Issa Seeks More Subpoena Power To Go After Obama Administration<\/a> – That’s just swell.<\/li>\n
  2. John Paul Stevens Explains Why He Stopped Supporting The Death Penalty<\/a> – As Stevens notes, it’s not that capital punishment is a moral or constitutional wrong per se, but that our system does too little (and less and less) to make sure, procedurally, it’s only used with the greatest care and highest safeguards.<\/li>\n
  3. Republican Grownups Abandon Republican Party<\/a> – The problem is, for all their current criticism of the irresponsibility, if not lunacy, coming from the GOP … what, besides pointed op-eds and quotations, are they able to do about it? Are they going to support the Democrats instead?<\/li>\n
  4. Islamic Center Where Arrested Somali Worshiped Set On Fire<\/a> – Idjits.<\/li>\n
  5. Godspeed, Commander Adams [Pharyngula]<\/a> – “Alta, about a million years from now the human race will have crawled up to where the Krell stood in their great moment of triumph and tragedy. And your father’s name will shine again like a beacon in the galaxy. It’s true, it will remind us that we are, after all, not God.” – Commander Adams, Forbidden Planet<\/i> (1956)<\/li>\n
  6. Making Light: “We live underground. We speak with our hands.”<\/a> – HA! The linked “review” is great, too.<\/li>\n
  7. Leslie Nielsen Dies at Age 84 – The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> – Thank you, sir, for Forbidden Planet, Airplane, and Police Squad \/ Naked Gun.<\/li>\n
  8. US adults most likely to forgo care due to cost, have trouble paying medical bills, survey finds<\/a> – It’s the greatest health care system in the world — unless you don’t have enough money to pay for your care.<\/li>\n
  9. The Real Story of Climategate | ClimateSight<\/a> – Essentially: stolen emails, cropped and stitched and framed to look like a major scandal, and everybody exonerated by multiple investigations. In a sane world, the people so torqued off at WikiLeaks would be having fits about someone stealing these emails; instead, abetted by journalists looking for sensational headlines, the denialists now believe all scientists the world over are out to pull a fast one.
