Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. There’s a time and a place for this sort of thing, and it’s called “College”<\/a> – HA!<\/li>\n
  2. Wendy Wright’s New Job: Stopping The Girl Scouts’ “Radical, Feminist, Pro-Abortion” Agenda<\/a> – Yes, you should just hear my daughter lecturing us on the need for taxpayer-supported abortion, lesbianism classes in public schools, and buying more boxes of Thin Mints.<\/li>\n
  3. ‘Joe the Plumber for Congress’ Could Actually Happen [Candidates]<\/a> – Oh, for crying in a bucket … FIFTEEN MINUTES, PEOPLE! IT’S UP NOW!<\/li>\n
  4. The concept car that survived a civil war [Monterey Auto Week]<\/a> – Weird … and cool.<\/li>\n
  5. A Man Found a Mysterious, Possibly Mafia-Connected Safe Inside a Casino Wall and Plans to Open It Live on the Internet [Security]<\/a> – I vote for the “disappointing” option (sadly). You don’t bury a safe behind an wall (without a door) to hide it; you do that when it’s too inconvenient to move during a renovation.<\/li>\n
  6. Combat Cavities By Re-Growing Your Decaying Teeth [Science]<\/a> – Ooooooh …<\/li>\n
  7. Ineffable Aether – Light in the Dark<\/a> – Greg Rucka on the issues of grittiness, sophistication, and the Hollywood machine. Good stuff.<\/li>\n
  8. David Foster Preparing to Pitch New \u2018Star Trek\u2019 Series<\/a> – I’d certainly welcome and watch a new ST series — if it were any good. And I’d give it a try regardless.<\/li>\n
  9. Leaked Cable: McCain Promised Qaddafi To Help Secure Military Equipment From U.S.<\/a> – Maybe McCain can be asked about this during one of the next of his several dozen appearances on a Sunday press show. HA! Of course he won’t be.<\/li>\n
  10. Feingold’s Progressives United To Push Dems To Walk Away From Bad Super Committee Deal<\/a> – It’s nice to think that the Dems could actually stick together that well. I’ve yet to see it happen.<\/li>\n
  11. Senate holds first non-ceremonial session off Capitol grounds in nearly 200 years – 2chambers – The Washington Post<\/a> – “We were able to conduct our business …” of playing politics in obstructing recess appointments. Yes, great job, guys, in continuing the (political) business of the Senate, even in the face of natural disaster.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
