Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Share your Wiimote, share your wife: We Dare… WTF?<\/a> – Um … no.<\/li>\n
  2. Despite Once Agreeing With Democrats\u2019 \u2018Philosophy\u2019, McCain Is Now The Senate\u2019s Most Conservative Member<\/a> – What shall it profiteth a man if he end up on political chat shows every Sunday, yet lose his soul?<\/li>\n
  3. Student Uses Smart Phone To Beat Speeding Ticket<\/a> – Sweet.<\/li>\n
  4. Gingrich called out on his multiple divorces, adultery – whines about people focusing on his ‘past’<\/a> – FWIW, Bryan Fischer (Dolt of the Year) has at least the ideological integrity to NOT give Gingrich a pass on his past behavior just because some of the Right like what he’s saying now.<\/li>\n
  5. New airport scanners to x-ray inside of body<\/a> – Yeah, let’s see them argue that this one’s safe, too. Yeesh.<\/li>\n
  6. Investigation Proves Climate Scientists Did Not Manipulate Data<\/a> – Multiple audits, investigations and reviews of the whole “Climategate” brouhaha have found absolutely nothing except the revelation that some scientists use intemperate speech in ostensibly private emails. No matter, it’s become a shibboleth for the Right, a banner to be waved around not a fact to be examined and judged.<\/li>\n
  7. Young Justice, it’s not just for boys!<\/a> – It’s just as likely McDonald’s fault, but, damn, I would have collected any of ’em, male or female, as a kid.<\/li>\n
  8. That makes sense, right?<\/a> – As rational public policy, it makes no sense. But, then, it’s not about rational public policy, it’s about throwing a bone to the rabid base and teaching those uppity women and liberals what-for.<\/li>\n
  9. TSA Harasses 9-yo Boy and Other Train Passengers After Their Trip [Video]<\/a> – Winning hearts and minds …<\/li>\n
  10. Slice and dice your recipe search results<\/a> – Cool! Hey, Margie …<\/li>\n
  11. “Criminal Minds” discusses Who<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  12. Psychology Today: Mommy, Don’t We Love America?: Alonzo Fyfe<\/a><\/li>\n
  13. The return of HR 676, Medicare for All<\/a> – Well, that would certainly get around (a) the silly controversy over mandatory purchase, and (b) the folks not covered even under the passed HCR bill.<\/li>\n
  14. Am I the only person\u2026<\/a> – No, you’re not.<\/li>\n
  15. GOP spending cuts will slash GDP 1.5% to 2% according to Goldman report<\/a> – And it’s Goldman Sachs saying this, fergoshsakes, not Mother Jones or something. Of course, they were saying it just to their clients, so that they could invest appropriately …<\/li>\n
  16. Now We Know: The Bailouts Worked<\/a> – Not that you’ll ever get any of their opponents to admit it.<\/li>\n
  17. Big Oil Lobby Announces It Will Start Donating Directly To Candidates<\/a> – When the API XVP says it’s “adding one more tool to our toolkit,” it’s not clear if they’re talking about direct donations or the “tools” they hire through them.<\/li>\n
  18. Churnalism<\/a> – Heh. Nice.<\/li>\n
  19. Lessons in Pluralism<\/a> – Some nice history lessons here. “With the globalization and financialization (deregulated bankers getting more and more reckless with other people\u2019s money) of the economy, and the steady weakening of unions, it began to occur to a lot of the big money guys that made America didn\u2019t need a financially strong middle class or retirees with money anymore. If they could make money selling to Europeans and Brazilians and Chinese and Indian folks, or just by taking other people\u2019s money and place big bets that no one but them understood on the Wall Street casino, what good were workers with decent wages, an American safety net, or those annoying unions?”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
