Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Why you shouldn’t challenge a breast-feeding mom to play Call of Duty<\/a> – Nice.<\/li>\n
  2. How Bill O’Reilly Tried to Get His Wife’s Boyfriend Investigated By the Cops<\/a> – Stay classy, Bill!<\/li>\n
  3. We didn\u2019t make money on TARP!<\/a> – “Why is it so much easier for institutions to get bailed out when they\u2019ve promised too much than it is for average people crushed under an avalanche of household debt?”<\/li>\n
  4. Catholic officials in Ireland object to child abuse disclosure law<\/a> – I understand, and respect, the value of the confessional. On the other hand, the Church in Ireland has demonstrated that it is less interested in civil law and protection of the innocent than in protecting its own (so to speak) ass. They’ve lost the benefit of the doubt, so far as this area is involved, and their hyperbolic rhetoric doesn’t improve their case.<\/li>\n
  5. DC Comics Reboots Justice League and Other Series – NYTimes.com<\/a> – I am aesthetically irked by the DC reboot. While I’ve ordered several of the titles (see future podcasts for details!), the whole thing feels a bit too much like a stunt, with a frisson of desperation thrown in.<\/li>\n
  6. United clipping DIA flights in slower fall season – The Denver Post<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Denver’s September weather could feel like August’s: hot and dry – The Denver Post<\/a> – Bleah.<\/li>\n
  8. Passenger With Crossbow Shoots Boy Throwing Rocks At Cars – San Diego News Story – KGTV San Diego<\/a> – Well, there’s something you don’t see every day, Chauncey …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
