Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Life Without Left Turns | Surprising Science<\/a> – Um, wouldn’t roundabouts be another way to address this?<\/li>\n
  2. Harry Potter villain FINALLY allowed to tan after 10-year ban | Blastr<\/a> – The down side of being in an wildly successful film franchise.<\/li>\n
  3. Stingray Nebula<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. AFA Blog: It’s Not Genocide If God Tells You To Do It<\/a> – Well at least they’ve chosen a refreshingly open way to address some of the horrors in the Old Testament. Yeesh.<\/li>\n
  5. Wiley Drake Focuses His Imprecatory Prayers On Fred Phelps<\/a> – Man, I hate it when I don’t know who to root for …<\/li>\n
  6. Conservative Blogs Unleash More Animosity in Reaction to Obama\u2019s Speech<\/a> – Stay classy, Lunatic Right!<\/li>\n
  7. U.S. income distribution (2010 edition)<\/a> – “Most people imagine that the rich are in heaven, but, as a rule, it is only a gilded hell. There is not a man in the city of New York with genius enough, with brains enough, to own five millions of dollars. Why? The money will own him. He becomes the key to a safe. That money will get him up at daylight; that money will separate him from his friends; that money will fill his heart with fear; that money will rob his days of sunshine and his nights of pleasant dreams. He cannot own it. He becomes the property of that money. And he goes right on making more. What for? He does not know. It becomes a kind of insanity. No one is happier in a palace than in a cabin.” — Robert Green Ingersoll<\/li>\n
  8. Individual Responsibility And Sarah Palin<\/a> – Does Ms Palin speak at public and private events and on TV shows and in her never-ending chain of books because she thinks her words have no influence? That they might not change, or guide, or have an effect on the minds of her listeners? Of course not. Does she take credit when her vocal support of a candidate assists in their victory? Of course she does. There is, of course, a difference between who actually pulled the trigger and who offered up suggestions and targets and stoking up as to which direction the gun should be pointed. But that doesn’t mean the latter is absolved of any responsibility, moral if not legal. Ms Palin’s refusal to accept that is yet another indication of why she should never be elected to public office again.<\/li>\n
  9. 1023 2011<\/a> – Homeopathy is one of those quack sciences I’ve never understood otherwise intelligent people being devotees of. Craziness.<\/li>\n
  10. Climate change has guided 2,500 years of European history<\/a><\/li>\n
  11. The new Zodiac<\/a> – Wait … I’m a Sagittarius now? Aw, man, now I’m going to have to change my whole personality.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
