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

  1. Firefox 5: Very fast, but unusable on Mac OS X<\/a> – I haven’t noticed a font problem with Windows — but I find it a poor performer after being open more than a few hours.<\/li>\n
  2. Memory expansions then and now<\/a> – It’s ironic, but the future has more memory than the past …<\/li>\n
  3. Gary Johnson Denounces \u201cFamily Leader Pledge\u201d<\/a> – Bravo, sir.<\/li>\n
  4. Goodbye Self-Service Checkout<\/a> – Whenever possible, I use the self-service check-out. I’m not looking for idle chitchat with my checker, and the line is usually shorter.<\/li>\n
  5. Rachel Maddow: During Real Jobs Crisis, Our Two Political Parties are Discussing How to Make it Worse<\/a> – “And this is a real crisis. Our economy has been almost unfathomably sick. That’s us, that bottom line there. And we have not stopped getting better as you can see. That line even outs and flattens out on the right. The private sector is not hiring enough and the government instead of acting counter-cyclically, the government is making it worse by cutting its own budget and laying people off.”<\/li>\n
  6. Breaking: Senate President Russell Pearce Recalled In Arizona, Must Run For Re-Election Or Resign.<\/a> – Very cool. I don’t have any idea whether this means he’s actually vulnerable in a special election, but at least there are folks taking a stand against him.<\/li>\n
  7. From the archives: The Gay-Hatin\u2019 Gospel<\/a> – This post is a couple of years old, but his examining the question of antipathy toward gays has become the defining tenet of American Christianity (in the preception of Christians and non-Christians alike) is spot-on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
