Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Freezing! – Calvin and Hobbes for January 01, 2011<\/a> – Yeah, this sounds familiar …<\/li>\n
  2. Tech Resolutions for 2011<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Anti-LGBT, bestiality-suggestive Navy videos produced by captain — with your tax dollars<\/a> – This has nothing to do with honorable service in defense of this country. This has to do with sniggering bully-boys making dirty jokes about sex and folks they don’t like. Your tax dollars at work.<\/li>\n
  4. A textbook case of historical inaccuracies<\/a> – Who cares whether the facts are right! The ideology is right!<\/li>\n
  5. The predictable recess-appointment complaints<\/a> – As far as I’m concerned, the GOP have lost all moral standing to complain about partisanship in Washington.<\/li>\n
  6. Quietly executing a national security triumph<\/a> – Cue conservative critics claiming that Obama is TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD’S NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR HIS OWN NEFARIOUS PURPOSES in 5 … 4 … 3 …<\/li>\n
  7. Christie returns, starts pointing fingers<\/a> – Everyone deserves a vacation. But I’ve had work interrupt me on vacation, and even had it change my travel schedule. You do what you need to do, and arrange your schedule afterward. That’s part of the job, esp. a powerful and well-compensated one.<\/li>\n
  8. The ‘real death panels’<\/a> – “Oddly enough, some of the same right-wing Republicans who were hysterical about ‘death panels’ and ‘rationing’ in 2009 haven’t had much to say about developments in Indiana and Arizona. I wonder why that is.” I have to wonder if they expect to make use of these as examples in coming months, hoping that people will ignore the party in question.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
