Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n

  1. Lindsey Graham didn’t think this tantrum through<\/a> – “So to review, Lindsey Graham is prepared to make the Senate even more dysfunctional, on purpose, until he’s paid off with an earmark that will create jobs despite his insistence that public spending can’t create jobs. And people wonder why it’s so hard to take Republicans seriously on public policy.”<\/li>\n
  2. U.N. diplomat is denied private meeting with WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning – The Washington Post<\/a> – But remember, we’re the Good Guys!<\/li>\n
  3. Social Security in the crosshairs, too<\/a> – Of course it is.<\/li>\n
  4. Checking David Barton’s Biblical Citations<\/a> – The remarkable thing is that Barton has far stronger academic claims to theology than history — but he’s a worse theologian than historian.<\/li>\n
  5. The Dreadful Uncertainties Of A Fair Trial – The Dish | By Andrew Sullivan – The Daily Beast<\/a> – Hey, remember when we used to get all huffy about show trials in the Soviet Union? Boy, those were the days …<\/li>\n
  6. The omnibus of superpowers [chart] – Holy Kaw!<\/a> – Hardly complete or definitive, but a half-way decent taxonomy and selection of DC and Marvel supers.<\/li>\n
  7. The Coolest Doctor Who T-Shirts in the Space-Time Continuum<\/a> – Some great coolness in some of these. If it weren’t the case that I really, truly, profoundly do NOT need any more t-shirts …<\/li>\n
  8. Actual seriousness about the deficit<\/a> – “Pundits and politicians like drama. Ryan\u2019s plan is dramatic. It\u2019s also horrible and cruel. But it\u2019s just so easy to replace words like \u201ccruel\u201d with words like \u201cbold\u201d when you are insulated from the cruelty.”<\/li>\n
  9. Not Intended To Be A Factual Statement<\/a> – HA!<\/li>\n
  10. Anthony Daniels Explains Variable Nature Of New \u2018Star Tours\u2019 And More<\/a> – Cool!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
