  1. New Study Shows the Extent of GOP Voter-Disenfranchisment | People For the American Way Blog<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Futurity.org \u2013 One-dose contraceptive for cats<\/a> – Primarily useful for feral cat populations. Cool.<\/li>\n
  3. Opponents Of Colorado Ballot Initiative Distort Study To Claim Tax Increases Will Kill Jobs: Guest Blogger<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Interstellar Space Travel Is Damn Near Impossible Because It’s So Hard to Have Space Sex<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. DC Women Kicking Ass – Crisis? What Crisis? Didio says all crisis out of continuity<\/a> – Comic book continuity can strangle creativity, but it can also provide a huge backdrop to write even better stories. My cavil with DC on this is not that they’ve rebooted, so much as they’ve rebooted with very little idea of what they’re doing, with some books’ restarted while others carry on, and this sort of “after further review” crap. Sloppy, sloppy editorial.<\/li>\n
  6. Gingrich: Obama was right to order the killing of al-Qaeda operative | Iowa Caucuses<\/a> – Yes, of course you’re right, Newt: the president signing an order is “due process.” Dolt.<\/li>\n
  7. Engle Likens Obama To Pontius Pilate<\/a> – Well, I’m certainly with him on the “Don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh” part.<\/li>\n
  8. A sound of blunder<\/a> – Plus with both Ray Bradbury AND Irwin Allen references! Woot!<\/li>\n
  9. mental_floss Blog \u00bb The Dick Van Dyke Show Turns 50<\/a> – One of the best sitcoms of all time, for a variety of reasons.<\/li>\n
  10. Michelle Obama Talks About the Courts | People For the American Way Blog<\/a> – Certainly one of the more cogent reasons to vote for Obama in 2012 (over his likely opponent).<\/li>\n
  11. Beginning of the End: Scenes from the Allied Invasion of Europe<\/a> – Some remarkable photos here.<\/li>\n
  12. Only Half Of Republicans Know The Meaning Of GOP | ThinkProgress<\/a><\/li>\n
