Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Moving Update<\/a> – Welcome to Colorado, Mary!<\/li>\n
  2. GUIDE TO HOUSECAT COAT COLORS AND PATTERNS via…<\/a> – Awesome.<\/li>\n
  3. YouTube – Difference Between a Magazine and a Clip<\/a> – Since I was so roundly corrected by folks on this in my gun post (and properly so … I similarly cringe people referring to their hard drives as “memory,” or their computer chassis as their “hard drive”), I offer this very nice tutorial on the difference. (In short, I believe, a magazine<\/b> (internal or external) feeds ammo into the firing chamber of a gun; a clip<\/b> is used to load a magazine.)<\/li>\n
  4. Friedman and the Paleomonetarists<\/a> – “It says something about the times we\u2019re in that Milton Friedman now looks left-of-center, at least on monetary issues.”<\/li>\n
  5. Did Democrats Give Up in Gun Control Debate? – NYTimes.com<\/a> – Not much of a liberal conspiracy, it seems.<\/li>\n
  6. The dangers of epistemic closure<\/a> – Epistemic closure is a problem for everyone, of all opinions. And it’s self-perpetuating — if you are reading just one set of opinions, trying to tread something different is like running into someone speaking in tongues — utterly incomprehensible, aside from being viscerally infuriating. (And, no, I’m no more immune to the effect than anyone else.)<\/li>\n
  7. Didn’t we already know about Reagan and Alzheimer’s?: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. A Michael Steele thought experiment: Steve Benen<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. The Reince Priebus era begins at the RNC<\/a> – Yeah, I think the GOP pols are tired of chairfolk who draw attention away from them.<\/li>\n
  10. U.S. Schools Are Still Ahead\u2014Way Ahead – BusinessWeek<\/a> – Presented as an alternative interpretation.<\/li>\n
