  2. Colorado lawmaker plans to introduce civil-unions bill – The Denver Post<\/a> – Good.<\/li>\n
  3. Yahoo Shutting Down Delicious, Buzz, Other Services | News & Opinion | PCMag.com<\/a> – Yikes. I don’t use any of these (and am glad I don’t), but, still, these are not no-name services.<\/li>\n
  4. Durbin: The $1.1 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill Is \u2018Exactly The Number\u2019 McConnell Asked For<\/a> – I could hug Dick Durbin.<\/li>\n

  6. Spiders, snakes? Brain-damaged woman knows no fear<\/a> – What’s fascinating here is that her higher cognitive skills don’t seem to be doing much to compensate.

  10. New Poll Shows Obama Favored In 2012 Over Republicans<\/a> – Polling this early out is nigh useless — I wouldn’t place any money on it one way or another — but it is interesting to see some current sentiment.<\/li>\n
  11. Some (Non-Mainstream) Thoughts on the Crib Recall<\/a> – “These products are not deadly. There\u2019s a difference between a deadly product (cyanide) and a product that sometimes results in death (a grape). We keep obscuring that difference, and congratulating the folks who act as if it is only a lack of vigilance that allows anyone to die of anything other than old age.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
