Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Arizona State Senate President Wants Law That Would Nullify Federal Laws<\/a> – Anybody else find the photo ironic? I mean, the guy wrapping himself (literally) in the American flag is busy suggesting that Arizona gets to trump American laws if it so chooses. Maybe a change in wardrobe is in order.<\/li>\n
  2. Democrats And Reality Vs. Republicans And Rhetoric: Stuart Shapiro<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Education ‘Reformist’ Math and the Teacher Gap : Mike the Mad Biologist<\/a> – Who needs teachers anyway? We’re the greatest country on Earth! We’ll just give all those 40-kid classrooms Bibles and the young’uns can learn everything they need to know to compete against China and Brazil and India just fine!<\/li>\n
  4. Clip from Young Justice episode “Schooled”<\/a> – We’ve been enjoying Young Justice a lot.<\/li>\n
  5. Penny Arcade! – The Usurper<\/a> – “It’s nice to know there’s one person whose fault everything is.”<\/li>\n
  6. Two improvements to contact groups<\/a> – Ah. Good to know I can select which email for a group.<\/li>\n
  7. Novel Idea – DORK TOWER, Friday, February 4, 2011<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Jamison Foser: Coulter: High-Capacity Magazine Put Loughner “At A Disadvantage” During Massacre<\/a> – While it’s true that a high capacity magazine is more difficult to carry and conceal, clearly it did not actually disadvantage him in getting to his target, and it was equally clearly of great advantage once he was no longer concealing his weapon.<\/li>\n
  9. Jeremy Holden: The Abject Depravity Of Lila Rose’s Smear Campaign Against Planned Parenthood<\/a> – But, you see, it’s not about the Law, or about what’s Wise, or Safe. It’s about emotion-laden sound-bites that cater to predetermined conclusions about someone you dislike. Right?<\/li>\n
  10. We Control The Horizontal<\/a> – The righteous don’t fear the light of day, or visibility to the press. Folks who work to control or suppress journalism and information are demonstrating they fear what others will think if the truth comes out.<\/li>\n
  11. The \u2018Protect Life Act\u2019<\/a> – I’m sure Bishop Olmstead is thrilled.<\/li>\n
  12. Why Egypt’s government targets journalists<\/a> – Stay classy, Rush!<\/li>\n
  13. Ginni Thomas continues to break new ground<\/a> – Caesar’s wife must be beyond reproach. Or so they used to say.<\/li>\n
  14. Fox News should just stay away from theology<\/a> – How DARE Obama not use the King James Version?!?! It’s … it’s … UNAMERICAN!<\/li>\n
  15. The GOP can get what it wants on health care (but it doesn’t care)<\/a> – Because policy has become less important to the GOP than politics — winning elections and political points rather than serving the nation.<\/li>\n
  16. Right Wing Mocks Reporters In Egypt: Not \u2018A Great Deal Of Sympathy For Those Who\u2019ve Been Attacked\u2019<\/a> – Yes, well, we know what the (at least some of) the Right think of journalists.<\/li>\n
  17. They laughed and called him “Grandpa Caligula,” but they’re not laughing now!<\/a> – Yeah, they’ve been “bashing” the media in Egypt, too.<\/li>\n
  18. New discovery explains why a mundane book of poetry stayed in print for a century<\/a> – Oh, those zany earls …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
