Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Crisis on Infinite Reboots: The Commercial<\/a> – Hmmmmmmm. A lot of legitimate criticism here, though I thought the video (as an existing comic book reader) was kind of cool.<\/li>\n
  2. Mailifest Destiny: U.S. expansion visualized as post offices<\/a> – That’s very cool.<\/li>\n
  3. Parents in 1991 got mad about having to buy the SNES<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  4. AMERICAblog News: Fox News: Is Warren Buffet a socialist?<\/a> – Yes, Warren Buffet is clearly a major socialist. And three out of four people in this Fox “news”cast are dolts.<\/li>\n
  5. \u2018Hysteria\u2019 Trailer: Maggie Gyllenhaal and the Invention of the Vibrator<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  6. Fanbois treat criticism of favorite brands as threat to self-image<\/a> – Humans are social, and tribal. I’m not at all surprised by this, and it’s a similar phenomenon to other group identifications — sports teams, schools, political parties, religions, ethnicities, nationality … Which isn’t to say that there might not be legitimate and rational reasons for preferring one brand over another, but our associational emotions get in the way of that rationality.<\/li>\n
  7. Happy Birthday, Julie Newmar<\/a> – Meow!<\/li>\n
  8. Research: Tea Party’s Growing Unpopularity Traced To Infusing Politics With Religion<\/a> – I sure hope that’s so.<\/li>\n
  9. Why Half of Americans Pay No Income Tax: It’s the Subsistence, Stupid<\/a> – Are there no workhouses?<\/li>\n
  10. Mythbusters: debunking the claim that fuel economy standards \u2018kill people\u2019<\/a> – Not that debunking it will stop it from being repeated by those who profit from doing so.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
