Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Story Blaming Acquaintances for Not Committing Loughner Underplays AZ Cuts in Mental Health Services: David Dayen<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Tucson Heroes: Unarmed People Who Stopped the Armed from More Killing<\/a> – Interesting notes on what happened with the two “friendlies” in the crowd who were<\/b> armed.<\/li>\n
  3. Right-Wing\u2019s Dupnik Pile-On Continues<\/a> – Disgusting, complete with scare quotes, ad hominem attacks, and conspiracy theorizing. I think they are proving his point.<\/li>\n
  4. Peter King eyes gun control measure<\/a> – I don’t care for the proposal. Why should “government officials,” however we define them, get the added protection? And how do you enforce it, save by throwing up a security cordon and pat-downs and magnetometers around each Congresscritter?<\/li>\n
  5. \u2018Gotham High:\u2019 The Animated Teen Batman Show That Almost Was<\/a> – This looks like it just would have been fun. No, of course it isn’t canon — as long as it’s not treated as such, I wouldn’t much care.<\/li>\n
  6. Original \u2018Indiana Jones\u2019 Concept Art by Jim Steranko | \/Film<\/a> – Very cool.<\/li>\n
  7. The right finds the strangest things to whine about<\/a> – What an ass.<\/li>\n
  8. Top U.S. Chamber Official: The Minimum Wage Is \u2018Counterproductive\u2019 And \u2018Doesn\u2019t Help\u2019<\/a> – The point of the minimum wage is not to help job growth, but to make the jobs that are there livable ones (or closer to it). Indeed, if I have to work two sub-minimum wage job in order to make what’s in a minimum wage job, has that helped job growth (or job availability) any? Not that it seems to matter to cheap-labor conservatives.<\/li>\n
  9. YouTube – Google Goggles Sudoku Demo<\/a> – This one’s for Margie.<\/li>\n
  10. Sheriff Dupnik blasts Limbaugh: ‘he is irresponsible’: Joe Sudbay (DC)<\/a><\/li>\n
  11. YouTube – The Bronx Zoo Tiger Cubs’ First Blizzard<\/a> – Teh CUTE!<\/li>\n
  12. White House oil spill commission to suggest more regulation offshore<\/a> – Regulation is most appropriate when private actors show that they cannot self-regulate, as is painfully clear here. Of course, I have no doubt the House GOP will look to actually reduce regulation because, y’know, MONEY GOING TO MAJOR OIL COMPANIES AND OTHER FIRMS is at stake.<\/li>\n
  13. Mental Demons<\/a> – Don’t blink!<\/li>\n
  14. The Mathematics Of Beauty \u00ab OkTrends<\/a> – I continue to be fascinated by the information that OkCupid gleans from its data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
