Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. ThinkProgress \u00bb Flashback: NASA Agency That Discovered New Life Form Was Subject To Severe Budget Cuts Under Bush<\/a> – Why would we want any pointy-headed scientist types working for NASA anyway? They should all be working for Monsanto and GE!<\/li>\n
  2. ‘Constitutional conservatism’ is clearly the wrong name<\/a> – “Constitutional conservatism” really means more “changing the Constitution, in text and in interpretation, to be more the way we conservatives like it.”<\/li>\n
  3. Drake Opposed CA Mosque Because He Doesn’t Want Terrorist Pagans In His Back Yard<\/a> – Yeesh.<\/li>\n
  4. Introducing Google Earth Engine<\/a> – Very cool (and socially beneficial).<\/li>\n
  5. Christian Group Says Jesus is Coming Back\u2026 Let\u2019s See Them Back It Up<\/a> – No man shall know the day or hour … except US! On our BILLBOARD! Come to our website and buy the t-shirt!<\/li>\n
  6. TSA recommends using sexual predator tactics to calm kids at checkpoints<\/a> – Stay classy, TSA!<\/li>\n
  7. NASA Finds New Life (Updated with Pictures)<\/a> – Very, very cool. (Plus a shout-out to Mono Lake!)<\/li>\n
  8. Police Spend All Day Investigating “Murder Scene” That Was Really a Movie Set<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  9. The physics and biology of the TSA’s backscatter security scanners<\/a> – An excellent summary article on why backscatter x-rays aren’t — but might be — a risk. Plus a pointing out of an even bigger problem that might trump the scientific debate: system maintenance and human operators.<\/li>\n
  10. FTC wants “do not track” button on your browser, pronto<\/a> – Sounds like a fine idea to me. I doubt I would use it much, but it would be nice to have the option.<\/li>\n
  11. Boehner Blasts Dems’ ‘Chickencrap’ Tax Cut Vote Gambit | TPMDC<\/a> – How DARE they outmaneuver us and exploit House rules in a way that benefits THEM?! The NERVE of some people!<\/li>\n
  12. Christian Minister: Muslim Congressman’s Support Of ‘Homosexuals’ Is Part Of Sharia Plot | TPMMuckraker<\/a> – While on first blush this is absurd (gays are treated rather poorly in theocratic Muslim countries), digging down I think he’s actually warning gays that they shouldn’t hang out with a scary Muslim congressman. Or something like that. It’s all kind of, um, muddled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
