Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Norway Shooter Bought High-Capacity Ammo Clips From The U.S.<\/a> – Because even Nordic Christianist Fanatics deserve high capacity magazines. (Magazines! Not clips!)<\/li>\n
  2. You are what you read<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  3. Fox News Confused, Baffled By The Moon | Media Matters for America<\/a> – The stupid! It HURTS!<\/li>\n
  4. Rick Perry Suddenly Hates Idea of New York Gays Get Married<\/a> – Gee, Rick — and here I was just saying something mildly nice about you. Glad to see you’re also gutless and politically incoherent.<\/li>\n
  5. ‘Suspicious Man Photographing Kids’ Just Guy Taking Pics of Grandson<\/a> – Sadly, this sort of “What will others think?” has more than once occurred to me while taking pictures of my daughter. Hasn’t stopped me, but the idea that it should worry me is horrendous.<\/li>\n
  6. WND Writer Blames The Constitution, Founding Fathers For Looming “Communist Dictatorship”<\/a> – Any essay that includes the term “fascistic socialists” should just be round-filed. Crikey.<\/li>\n
  7. Why Patrick Duffy is Writing 3 Man From Atlantis Novels [Video]<\/a> – I remember having a lot of enthusiasm for this show — not least of which came from having Victor Buono as the recurring heavy (so to speak).<\/li>\n
  8. Conservative Media Downplay Extreme Heat Wave | Media Matters for America<\/a> – I guess you can’t even talk about the weather any more without it become a partisan attack.<\/li>\n
  9. Ginny Weasley vs. Bella Swan<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  10. Missing Accomplished<\/a> – Oh, Lordy, look — it’s my life as a comic strip.<\/li>\n
  11. 117 Members Of Congress Join Letter Calling For DOJ Action Against Voter Disenfranchisement Laws<\/a> – Sounds like they might have a case.<\/li>\n
  12. Christianists Turn On Rick Perry<\/a> – Isn’t it amazing how some folks are so ga-ga over states’ rights against the Evil Federal Gubberment … when the states are free to do something they want. But when the states do something they don’t want, well, we need our leaders on Washington, DC to do something to prevent it! Rick Perry’s a dangerous dolt, but not in this case.<\/li>\n
  13. These Beautiful Waterfalls Are Made Entirely of Ice [Image Cache]<\/a> – Lovely. If a bit disturbing.<\/li>\n
  14. Establishment Republicans Beginning to Lose Patience with Teabaggers<\/a> – It would be hysterical, if they weren’t both dragging the country down.<\/li>\n
  15. Teabagger congressman being sued for $100,000 of child support<\/a> – Classy! Let’s hear another lecture on personal responsibility again, Joe!<\/li>\n
  16. Google Offers To Re-Write Your Webpages On The Fly, Promising 25% To 60% Speed Improvements<\/a> – Hmmmm. I’d want to see it in action for a bit first, but …<\/li>\n
  17. Daily Show episode yanked from UK TV because Brit law prohibits using Parliamentary footage in satire<\/a> – And what’s particularly ironic (if it’s the clip I think it is — I don’t run streaming video at work) is that Stewart is raving about how cool Parliamentary debate is. I suspect Brits would have enjoyed seeing that.<\/li>\n
  18. House Dems say invoke 14th Amendment. Boehner says “Obama hates it” to get GOP votes<\/a> – I’m not a Constitutional Scholar, but it sure seems like Obama could invoke this to say, “Hey, the laws of Congress authorized these expenditures, so the Constitution says they have to be paid.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
