Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. 10 Greatest Examples of Space Battle Smack Talk<\/a> – Sweet.<\/li>\n
  2. Romney Pledges To Expand Bush-Era Rule Permitting Doctors To Deny Women Access To Contraceptives | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Romney’s obviously worried enough about Perry to start veering over further to the Right.<\/li>\n
  3. The TSA Blog: Good Catch! Sword Canes to Reptiles\u2026<\/a> – But without our sword canes, how will we fend off ruffians boarding our dirigible from another airship! The skies are dangerous these days, what?<\/li>\n
  4. The Tea Party\u2019s ridiculous hissy fit over Jimmy Hoffa – The Plum Line<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Bachmann Gushes, Says Schlafly “Most Important Woman In The United States In The Last 100 Years” | Right Wing Watch<\/a> – Ugh.<\/li>\n
  6. Apollo moon views get sharper<\/a> – Very cool.<\/li>\n
  7. How Your $19.95 U-Haul Rental Could End Up Costing You $1200<\/a> – Between these shenanigans and U-Haul’s long-known penchant for crappy maintenance on their trucks, I’ll never rent from them.<\/li>\n
  8. Texas Cut Volunteer Fire Department Funding by 75% This Year<\/a> – Of course they did.<\/li>\n
  9. My sense of humor<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  10. Financial Times: State Prosecutors to Offer Bankers Grant of Immunity From Serious Charges<\/a> – After difficult negotiations, the state prosecutors offer most of what the banks wanted in exchange for some relatively trivial fines. What’s remarkable is that the banks are still demanding more concessions — almost like the GOP.<\/li>\n
  11. Why, George, Why? – DORK TOWER, Monday, September 5, 2011<\/a> – There are certainly some SFX glitches in HtD that would use with some cleaning up. How about a triple-platinum collector’s edition of that, George?<\/li>\n
  12. Arrival of Al Jazeera Reporter Sends Texas School Into Panic<\/a> – Stay classy, Texas!<\/li>\n
  13. Napolitano: Shoes-on flight in sight – POLITICO.com Print View<\/a> – What? But where will the fun be in not having to get nearly undressed pre-scan (whilst juggling laptops and liquid bags and the like) and then racing to get re-dressed on the opposite end (while everyone’s waiting for you to get out of thee way)?<\/li>\n
  14. Not a samurai<\/a><\/li>\n
  15. Report: Robert Gates Said Israel Is An Ungrateful Ally That Was Failing To Take Steps For Peace<\/a> – Yup.<\/li>\n
  16. Republican Congressperson Wants to Make the 9\/11 Cross a National Monument<\/a> – Wait a second — we’re framing the argument wrongly here. The GOP constantly demonizes attempts to expand National Monuments and Parks as hurting job-creating mining and lumber and petrochemical interests by locking away natural splendor from exploitation. All we need to ask is why Rep. Grimm is so against America and American steel companies that he would rob them of the chance to create jobs by recycling and reusing this big hunk of steel girders …<\/li>\n
  17. Dave And Buster’s Adds Mystery Service Charge To My Bill<\/a> – Wonder if that's a national thing, or just that particular D&B's? In either case, always review your bill.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
