Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. The US Navy goes green with solar and biodiesel<\/a> – Coolness.<\/li>\n
  2. See You At The Church-State Wall: Flagpole Prayer Organizers Must Play By The Rules \u00ab The Wall of Separation<\/a> – It never fails to amaze me the amazing sense of entitlement<\/b> that Christian evangelicals feel. The idea that they would howl at other religious pulling the same thing doesn’t strike them as hypocrisy, but the righteous sense who think that the rules don’t apply to them because they are Right and Blessed and the Personal Representatives of God.<\/li>\n
  3. Nathan Fillion, Tim Daly and Michael Rosenbaum Join Justice League: Doom – Today’s News: Our Take | TVGuide.com<\/a> – Wow. I am seriously excited about this, both for the voice cast and for the story (which was a great JLA arc). My only regret (and with no offense to Nathan Fillion), I’d rather see John Stewart (voiced by Phil LaMarr) than Hal Jordan as GL.<\/li>\n
  4. Rick Perry\u2019s Revisionist Take On The Original Tea Party | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Perry’s IQ continues to drop visibly …<\/li>\n
  5. Bev Perdue | Suspend Elections | The Daily Caller<\/a> – Dear Gov. Perdue – In an era where all of our political traditions, not to mention the Constitution, seem under constant attack, even “joking” about suspending elections is asinine. and something I’d frankly expect to hear suggested by a Republican, rather than a Democrat. Because “joking” about such a thing is liable to be like squirting lighter fluid on the flames.<\/li>\n
  6. This Woman Had a Live Fragmentation Grenade Stuck Inside Her Face [Video]<\/a> – Wow. Just amazing. And incredible kudos to the team that operated on her.<\/li>\n
  7. Billionaire Owner of Washington Wizards Wants Obama to Stop Calling Him Rich<\/a> – I don’t consider economic success a bad thing, a boogie man, an inherent evil. Indeed, economic success is a good thing … for ALL Americans. And if you are very, very successful, part of the cost of that is to bear a larger financial burden. With great economic power comes great economic responsibility.<\/li>\n
  8. ohm.jpg<\/a> – Resistance is futile.<\/li>\n
  9. DORK TOWER, Tuesday, September 27, 2011<\/a> – HA! (Snicker.)<\/li>\n
  10. Researchers produce ‘limitless’ hydrogen from bacteria – 21 Sep 2011 – News from BusinessGreen<\/a> – Ooooooh …<\/li>\n
  11. Unlike: Why Facebook Integration Is Actually Antisocial [Facebook]<\/a> – “I know Facebook is going to crap all over my privacy. And I’m oddly okay with that. It’s a Faustian bargain I made with Zuck long ago in exchange for providing me with a platform where I can interact with my parents and in-laws. But I don’t want that deal to extend to the entire Web, to every service I use and each site I log into. I don’t want my every action recorded in perpetuity or worse, broadcast without my explicit permission. I don’t want my humanity commoditized.”<\/li>\n
  12. Facebook: you can check out but you can never leave<\/a> – Resistance is futile.<\/li>\n
  13. Quote For The Day<\/a> – American government actions have consequences for Americans abroad.<\/li>\n
  14. Stupid voters enable broken government – CNN.com<\/a> – “So can we genuinely complain about government without accepting a lot of the blame? I don’t think so. After all, they didn’t elect themselves.”<\/li>\n
  15. Death Debate<\/a><\/li>\n
  16. NYPD Spokesman: We Used Pepper Spray ‘Appropriately’<\/a> – Stay classy, NYPD.<\/li>\n
  17. Cherry-Picked Patriotism or Only Hating the Wrong Kind of Americans<\/a> – I don’t hate America. I hate the dog-eat-dog plutocratic hell-hole America the Koch Bros. are after, and the nativist Dominion of America that Bryan Fischer bangs the drum for. Those goals, I hate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
