Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Trump Misremembers Why He Didn\u2019t Serve In Vietnam<\/a> – Can we stamp his presidential application “DISQ,” too?<\/li>\n
  2. Texas House Committee Approves Tax Breaks For Yachts<\/a> – Official excuse: They need to race to the bottom against Florida. Yeesh.<\/li>\n
  3. And Now It\u2019s Time For Another Episode Of Hip, Hip Hypocrisy<\/a> – “Apparently Congress has no problem questioning the motives of those who have become sick as a result of their heroism in the aftermath of the worst terrorist attack in our nation\u2019s history. Yet, when it comes to those who want guns \u2014 for whatever reason \u2014 no one should dare question their background or motivation.” That’s because it’s seen as much safer to tick off fire fighters than to tick off the NRA.<\/li>\n
  4. Trump Complains About Jokes At WHCD, Calls Event \u201cInappropriate\u201d<\/a> – So The Donald is an professional at harsh rhetoric and “real negotiations,” but his feelings are hurt by being the target of ribbing at the WHCD? He’s talking about being president, but can’t stand “joke after joke after joke”? He’s a multi-billionaire developer and casino builder, but he worries about sitting at a fancy dinner vs how “the American people are really suffering”? Yeah, pull the other one, Donald.<\/li>\n
  5. Thermochromic Urinal Makes Peeing Fun<\/a> – Okay, I admit it — that would, indeed, be cool (and warm).<\/li>\n
  6. Tales of the Tweets: Osama Bin Laden Edition<\/a> – I do sort of like the airport one …<\/li>\n
  7. In 2008, Bush, McCain and Palin All Blasted Obama\u2019s Willingness to Strike Terrorist Targets in Pakistan<\/a> – This kind of commentary by GOP pols made no sense then (and makes no sense now), given their general glee at bombing the snot out of people just to show how powerful a nation we are.<\/li>\n
  8. Osama bin Laden is dead<\/a> – Um, folks, it’s May 2011. The idea that this has now wrapped up the 2012 election for Obama is as ludicrous as claims that’s the only reason he did it.<\/li>\n
  9. Pawlenty Defends Big Oil: Cutting Oil Subsidies Is \u2018Ludicrous\u2019<\/a> – It’s ludicrous! How could they possibly be donating so much money (albeit a tiny fraction of their massive profits) and not be getting even MORE subsidies for their money?!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
