Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Selective de-humanization<\/a> – Jeez.<\/li>\n
  2. Rick Scott Lies to Support Pill Mills Killing Seven Floridians a Day<\/a> – Stay classy, Gov. Scott!<\/li>\n
  3. Scoping Out The Sad State Of Affairs At A Borders Liquidation Sale<\/a> – Yeah, I’ve soured on liquidation sales.<\/li>\n
  4. Eastern Cougar Finally Declared Extinct In U.S. : TreeHugger<\/a> – Sad.<\/li>\n
  5. Wisconsin Governor Walker Turns WI into California [Mike the Mad Biologist]<\/a> – Yeah, because California’s methods of dealing with budgets in their legislature have been a model of … um …<\/li>\n
  6. Scrooge Was Just Sending A Message<\/a> – “I hate to wish ill on other people, but I think it may be the only way for certain ones to understand something as elementary as the fact that when the unemployment rate hovers at 10%, and the underemployment adds at least another 5%, it doesn’t mean that people are being lazy. If there were enough jobs to employ them, and nobody was filling those jobs, we’d be seeing a very different set of economic problems. There are no jobs. And people who stand up in public and declare that they want to teach other people lesson and ‘send messages’ when they are so rankly ignorant is just embarrassing.”<\/li>\n
  7. Could Backscatter Scanners Be Coming To City Streets?<\/a> – That’s … just … swell …<\/li>\n
  8. Wisconsin GOP tries to ban prank calls<\/a> – Of course! Embarrassed outrage must be exercised!<\/li>\n
  9. 4 Girl Scout cookie controversies – The Week<\/a> – Now I’m hungry for Thin Mints.<\/li>\n
  10. Stomach pacemaker could help obese lose weight – Obesity – Salon.com<\/a> – Interesting.<\/li>\n
  11. Westboro Baptist Church and Freedom of Speech<\/a> – A appreciate the grief and outrage and anger from Mr Snyder. But I’d be willing to argue (perhaps from a safe distance) that his statement is no less reprehensible than the filth that drips from the lips of the WBC crew.<\/li>\n
  12. Expelling the Quakers from Plymouth<\/a> – “What\u2019s driving all of this is the conception that this is how democracy works \u2014 that if the Christian majority does not impose its hegemonic sway over others, then those others may arise to impose their sectarian sway over Christians. They don\u2019t believe in religious freedom per se. I don\u2019t mean that they\u2019re opposed to it, but that they don\u2019t even understand<\/b> the idea. They don\u2019t seem to realize even that it is an option.”<\/li>\n
  13. Team Hell gets loud<\/a> – “Team Hell” — yeah, they do seem eager for such a place to exist.<\/li>\n
  14. Fox News Sees \u2018Violent\u2019 \u2018Union Thugs\u2019 Attacking State Senator, But Senator Saw \u2018A Lot Of Courteous People\u2019: Alex Seitz-Wald<\/a><\/li>\n
  15. How It Really Happened: PAC-MAN<\/a> – Yeah, that’s kinda … disturbing. In a cool way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
