Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Still the right’s favorite fake historian<\/a> – Barton’s a dolt — and the Right’s embrace of him because he says things they want to hear only hurts their already fragile grip on reality.<\/li>\n
  2. ‘He’s made me a little uncomfortable here recently’<\/a> – Yikes.<\/li>\n
  3. Obsidian Wings: What Is Best In Academic Freedom, Cronon? Not To Crush Your Enemies<\/a> – Well, some good news here (beyond the labored pun).<\/li>\n
  4. Then and now: Capitalism vs. Labor 1883, and today<\/a> – Fun, except that it’s not Capitalism per se, but Monopoly. Which, unfortunately, describes too much of today’s consolidated, amalgamated, bought-out, too-big-to-fail capitalism.<\/li>\n
  5. Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal Proposes Massive Tax Cuts For The Rich, Big Tax Hikes for Middle Class<\/a> – Sigh.<\/li>\n
  6. Radical Pastor Terry Jones Says He\u2019s Considering \u2018A Trial On The Life Of Mohammed\u2019<\/a> – Dolt.<\/li>\n
  7. 25 Mind-Blowing Aerial Photographs Around the World<\/a> – I wouldn’t say mind-blowing, but certainly worth a look-see.<\/li>\n
  8. More Fun With Urban Renewal, Republican-Style<\/a> – Trying to think of what sort of “blight” could be argued for Glendora …<\/li>\n
  9. Joseph Stiglitz: The Fate of The Top 1% Is Bound Up With How The Other 99% Live<\/a> – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” isn’t just a moral advice, it’s a sociological law. When those at the top abuse those at the bottom, and the bottom gets big enough, they inevitably abuse the top back. We’ve become so short-sighted as a society, though, even at the top, that everyone figures it will never happen here. It has. And it will.<\/li>\n
  10. Death and taxes: Paul Campos<\/a><\/li>\n
  11. Goldman CEO sees pay double in 2010<\/a> – Nice work, if you can get it.<\/li>\n
  12. Pity Poor GOP Congressman Duffy-and Poster Child for Birth Control-Struggling to Get By on $174,000 Per Year : Mike the Mad Biologist<\/a> – Or, put another way, if Rep. Duffy, in the top 5% of income in the country, is having a hard time … what does that say about the other 95% making less than he? And how should that be informing his vote?<\/li>\n
  13. Statue Removed from French Town for Being Too Well Endowed<\/a> – Bust busted for busting-out bust. (C’mon, someone had to say it.)<\/li>\n
  14. Husband plays funny fake news prank on his wife<\/a> – Trust, but verify. Especially on April 1st.<\/li>\n
  15. Stonekettle Station: The Sunday Morning Come to Jesus Moment on Second Amendment Solutions<\/a> – This is a few months old (dealing with the Gifford assassination attempt), but it’s got some very nice discussion about what “Second Amendment Solutions” really mean.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
