  1. Al Qaeda threat involving hotels buffets ‘credible,’ report says – USATODAY.com<\/a> – See, there’s an effective idea. There’s lots of nefarious things that could be done in this way, restricting services, eroding public trust … and, even better, even if nothing is actually done, it just ramps up the fear, esp. if a real food poisoning outbreak occurs. That’s why it’s called terrorism.<\/li>\n
  2. Senator Tom Coburn Vows To Hold Up 9-11 Health Care Bill<\/a> – “You can only help these people if you hurt those other people over there.” Stay classy, Sen. Coburn!<\/li>\n
  3. A subway spelunker’s guide to Paris’ abandoned M\u00e9tro stations [Mad Urbanism]<\/a> – Kids, don’t try this in your home town.<\/li>\n
  4. The Associated Press: Ariz. hospital loses Catholic status over surgery<\/a> – Sounds like the hospital (and its patients) will be better off without them, though it’s a shame they’ll no longer be able to have Mass at the chapel.<\/li>\n
  5. SpyTalk – WikiLeaks \u201cno threat,\u201d top German official says<\/a> – A remarkably sane and calm response.<\/li>\n

  7. Apple Bans Wikileaks App from iPhones<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. How do I force Windows to assign a drive letter to an external hard drive when attached? | Microsoft Windows | TechRepublic.com<\/a> – Noting this for future (re)reference.<\/li>\n
  9. Nasa captures stunning images of the far side of the moon<\/a> – Cool …<\/li>\n
  10. The rare Thor movie poster that only the cast and crew got to keep | Blastr<\/a> – That is pretty darned awesome. And the others in the gallery are cool, too.<\/li>\n
  11. AOL acquires About.me – Holy Kaw!<\/a> – Huh. Well, so much for About.me.<\/li>\n
  12. Total Lunar Eclipse, The View From Palmer, Alaska<\/a> – Cool.<\/li>\n
  13. Quote of the Day<\/a> – Stay classy, Sen. McConnell!<\/li>\n
