Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Haven’t they learned how bad science and bogus tradition is a tool of oppression?<\/a> – Alas, oppressed minorities aren’t always paragons when it comes to oppressing other minorities. (See also: “Israel”)<\/li>\n
  2. Bolling concedes, ‘We did go a bit too far’<\/a> – “I’m glad Bolling is ‘sorry.’ I’d be even more pleased if his ugly worldview didn’t lead him to say things like this in the first place.” Fox News is endlessly fascinating …<\/li>\n
  3. The most egregious of the bogus claims<\/a> – “And so we’re left once again with the eternal question: whether Bachmann is deliberately trying to deceive the public or is strikingly ignorant. I can’t say with certainty which of these two options is the right explanation, but I also can’t think of any alternatives.”<\/li>\n
  4. Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Brain Surgeons<\/a> – (Rolls eyes.) If my daughter said she wanted to be a brain surgeon, I’d support her whole-heartedly. I’d also have life-work balance conversations with her (before and after and probably naggingly). Ultimately, it’s her<\/b> responsibility to handle (and to divide child-rearing duties and time allocations with her mate).<\/li>\n
  5. Dumbass Quote of the Day [Dispatches from the Culture Wars]<\/a> – “This is the kind of wild hyperbole the right has been getting away with forever. We are forever just inches away<\/b> from turning commie.”<\/li>\n
  6. Nature’s Slow Path to Destruction [Science]<\/a> – Yikes.<\/li>\n
  7. Badass Quote of the Day [Dispatches from the Culture Wars]<\/a> – The War on Drugs (Marijuana Edition) is so clearly a failure and carries such terrible costs in lives and money, that clearly it’s still around for other reasons — budget\/power protection, seizure laws, feel-good law-and-order posturing by pols, racism, classism, or just the general slide into a police state.<\/li>\n
  8. Fanny Pack-Wearing Terrorist Ignites Montana Shoot Out [Fugitives]<\/a> – “Now, replace ‘David Burgert’ in any of the articles on the manhunt with, say, a non-white dude sounding name and… shazam! You’ve got an international terrorism media feeding frenzy.” Because, of course, we can’t refer to American white guys as “terrorists” because, well, OPPRESSION! OBAMA! GULAGS!<\/li>\n
  9. Why Did Amazon.com Get Rid of the Atheism Section?<\/a> – Interesting. The question is, where Atheism should go as a category.<\/li>\n
  10. Too Big To Fail? Little Ol\u2019 Me?<\/a> – Too big to fail if there are bail-out dollars around … too small to matter if there are regulations afoot that might avoid future bail-outs. Got it.<\/li>\n
  11. Herman Cain Would Want A Loyalty Test From Muslims In His White House<\/a> – Right. It’s not “discrimination” if you just ask people of a certain religion (or race, or …) to take a special loyalty oath. And, of course, no true terrorist who wanted to “kill all of us” would ever lie in taking such an oath … Dolt.<\/li>\n
  12. Google Chromebook \u2013 The First Reviews Are In!<\/a> – I’m considering work I do that is non-browser-based. This wouldn’t work for me, as I currently work, as my only computer, but as a second system (assuming WiFi is available) it would serve as well as a netbook or tablet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
