Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Flickr: Too big to fail (We hope?) | ZDNet<\/a> – The whole article is worth a read. Like some of the folks involved, I keep backed-up copies of all my originals — but rebuilding all those photo albums (whether on Flickr or somewhere else) would be a ginormous pain.<\/li>\n
  2. Girl Scouts won’t be arrested for selling door to door in Boulder, ’cause sheriff needs Thin Mints – Denver News – The Latest Word<\/a> – While I’m glad it’s not quite as crazy a situation as all that, the idea that “individual troop leaders and cookie managers must submit their information for a police background check in order for their troops to be included” in the Girl Scouts’ permit to sell door to door … that seems pretty zany, too.<\/li>\n
  3. Ultimate Electronics chain moves to liquidate – The Denver Post<\/a> – Well, that’s unfortunate.<\/li>\n
  4. Emanuel Vardi, American Viola Soloist, Dies at 95 – NYTimes.com<\/a> – As sad loss of a champion of a fine instrument.<\/li>\n
  5. The $2.2 Billion Lie<\/a> – While I’m not a rabid supporter of item pricing, I’m certainly a rabid opponent of lying SOBs, e.g., the item pricing critics in this story.<\/li>\n
  6. Bill Gates Says It’s an Absolute Lie to Link Vaccines and Autism [Blockquote]<\/a> – Go, Bill, go!<\/li>\n
  7. Choosing not to lead by example<\/a> – Government spending cuts for thee, but not for me!<\/li>\n
  8. The smallest tax burden in generations<\/a> – “The idea that taxes are high right now is pretty much nuts.”<\/li>\n
  9. West: \u201cBlacks Cannot Expect to Have Political Power\u201d Since They Vote Democratic<\/a> – Well, yes, I’m sure that if they voted solidly for the GOP the GOP would support giving them(selves) political power.<\/li>\n
  10. At Tea Party Event, Gov. Scott Unveils Budget That Raids Low-Income Health Services To Cut Corporate Taxes<\/a> – Cutting medical care for poor people in order to give tax cuts to the rich is “fun” and “exciting”! (At least he’s honest about it.)<\/li>\n
  11. Bus Drivers FAIL<\/a> – I’m sure when they stop doing something so photoworthy, people will stop taking photos.<\/li>\n
  12. Flu breakthrough promises a vaccine to kill all strains – Akon Jha – Guardian<\/a> – Here’s hoping it pans out. Flu isn’t just a costly annoyance — it’s a killer.<\/li>\n
  13. Freedom Falsehood: Religious Liberty Isn\u2019t Under Attack In America<\/a> – “What Oaks and those like him seek is not religious freedom. It is regression to a time when the state bowed to the church. They want to take us back to the days when their power was absolute and an individual\u2019s standing in society was determined in a large way by how he or she met some arbitrary set of narrow religious rules.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
