Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Bin Laden’s Death and the American Muslim Community<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Simon Maloy: The New Crazy: Military “Overruled” Obama On Osama Kill Mission<\/a> – Lovely.<\/li>\n
  3. Ned Resnikoff: Big Government Exposes Sinister Plot To Encourage Critical Thinking In The Classroom<\/a> – Gee — it sounds just like those conservative “teach the controversy” arguments … except it’s not about evolution or global warming, so it must be evil.<\/li>\n
  4. President Obama, birthers, Orly Taitz: Southern California ‘birthers’ continue to press their case – latimes.com<\/a> – What the hell is a “psychological Kristallnacht”?<\/li>\n
  5. Anti-sharia laws stir concerns that halachah could be next | JTA – Jewish & Israel News<\/a> – The problem being, of course, that such laws can’t single out “Evil Islam” because that’d be even more blatantly unconstitutional.<\/li>\n
  6. Perkins: Gay Activists Are Intolerant, Hateful, Vile, Spiteful Pawns Of The Devil<\/a> – And believe you me, he knows all about intolerant, hateful, vile, spiteful activists who are really just pawns of the Devil!<\/li>\n
  7. Ovaltine is the leading cause of Gay.\u00a0 via bitsandpieces<\/a> – I was always a Nestle Quik guy myself. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.<\/li>\n
  8. Infamous Anti-Tax Advocate Arrested For Tax Evasion<\/a> – Ah, Doug Bruce. So nice to see you in the dock again.<\/li>\n
  9. The Christianity Epidemic in the Van Buren School District<\/a> – It’s an alienating insult to the students and to the staff receiving these kind of notes. And, if you don’t respond (or respond wrongly), what might that mean on your next report card or personnel evaluation? How could you be sure?<\/li>\n
  10. Who is Osama bin Laden?<\/a> – Well, it’s been a decade since 9\/11 … and OBL really hasn’t been in the news for several years (except at Presidential debates). So for kids more concerned about Hannah Montana and Justin Bieber, this is all just background noise … the War on Terrorism is the New Normal. And how terrifying is that?<\/li>\n
  11. Why New Zealand was dumb to let the USA write its copyright laws<\/a> – “Presumption of guilt is rife for abuse, as has happened overseas under similar laws. In the digital realm evidence is often very temporary, complex, and easily fabricated, so providing evidence of your innocence could be very difficult, depending on how much is required. Providing evidence of your guilt is almost as difficult, but why should that mean an advantage should be given to accusers?”<\/li>\n
  12. Can poppy seeds get you high?<\/a> – I actually like poppy seed baked goods. Maybe that’s a reason …<\/li>\n
  13. RIP Yvette Vickers, co-star of “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman,” found mummified in LA home<\/a> – A sad story, that someone could “vanish” and nobody would notice for a year.<\/li>\n
  14. The Hot\/Crazy Solid State Drive Scale<\/a> – I’m willing to put up with a bit slower for a lot more reliable, although the power demand of SSDs is a lot more attractive for laptops, too.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
