Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n

  1. Uses For The Modern Phone<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  2. Daily Kos: Letting them die<\/a> – We used to be appalled at cultures that would expose their elderly, leaving them to die out in the elements because they could no longer produce, because the tribe felt it could no longer support them. Guess what we’re becoming. Because, in the long run, the COST of these sorts of things has gone beyond the ability of the local tribe (church, neighborhood, even small town) to handle. But that’s what we’re being told is the rightful thing to do — never mind who we are, supposedly as a nation, or a state … it’s solely up to word of mouth and the locals to take care of their problems. And yet these Tea Party people turn around and call themselves patriots and wave their national flags with fervor. And what exactly do they think that represents?<\/li>\n
  3. Oh God! Oh God! Oh GOD!!! By the way, I\u2019m also a cop.<\/a> – Temple prostitution is certainly not historically unprecedented, even if frowned upon by Jewish and Christian tradition. Regardless of how I personally feel about the subject, I think it would be interesting if this particular church had deep enough pockets (so to speak) to fight this particular prosecution on First Amendment basis. Is this particular church a scam, fleecing the congregation for their own profit? Perhaps. The same can be said for any number of other churches, many of which have their own TV shows.<\/li>\n
  4. Jeb Bush forms company to get into the disaster response business | Naked Politics<\/a> – Plus, getting ready for increased weather instability due to climate warming! It’s a win-win!<\/li>\n
  5. M and M’s Combat<\/a> – There can be only one! (Cue lightning, rock music, and a shower of skittles.)<\/li>\n
  6. American public opinion and climate change: No green Tea | The Economist<\/a> – Not at all surprising — the most ignorant are the most confident of their ignorance, fed by whispers and innuendo and fear.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
