Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Barnes & Noble Pulls Watchmen, Sandman And 100 DC Graphic Novels From Their Shelves Over Amazon Kindle Fire Deal Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors<\/a> – Wow. I can understand B&N being torqued at DC, but I don’t see this as a smart move on their part. Anything that reduces traffic into or sales from a bricks & mortar store isn’t a good idea.<\/li>\n
  2. The Other Guy Who Died: Jeffrey Weston<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Oct 7, 2011 – Ten Years Later<\/a> – Priorities …<\/li>\n
  4. I Just Don\u2019t Know What You See in Him<\/a> – I can honestly say my wife is more of a “gamer chick” than I am a “gamer dude.” And it’s cool.<\/li>\n
  5. California Officials Quash School Rule That Forced Students Into Separate Lunch Lines Because Of Low Test Scores<\/a> – Incenting achievement by rewarding it in some fashion is a fine idea, if done carefully and properly. Turning it into a “dunce cap” program, though, is neither careful nor proper.<\/li>\n
  6. Obama\u2019s Food Safety Law That Republicans Fought Could Have Prevented Tainted Melon Outbreak: Alex Seitz-Wald<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Wells Fargo Forecloses On Home Because The Title Was Never Transferred<\/a> – Stay classy, Wells Fargo!<\/li>\n
  8. What do these books have in common?<\/a> – Go, Kate, go!<\/li>\n
  9. Drug Maker Adds Line To Pill’s Surface To Delay Generic Versions<\/a> – Best Health Care in the World!<\/li>\n
  10. Vintage Right-Wing Whine: Hank Jr. Says His First Amendment Rights Were Violated By ESPN<\/a> – You keep citing that “First Amendment”. I do not think it means what you think it means …<\/li>\n
  11. Herman Cain Quotes Obscure 20th-Century Strike-Breaker and Attributes it to Lincoln<\/a> – Don’t let your “facts” and “history” get in the way of my sound bite!<\/li>\n
  12. Wall Street Journal: neutrinos show climate change isn\u2019t real<\/a> – Science doesn’t know everything! So science really knows nothing, and we must ignore it when it tells us really inconvenient stuff! (Dolt.)<\/li>\n
  13. Strong winds mussing your Colorado lifestyle? Get used to it – The Denver Post<\/a> – Should be an “interesting” winter this year.<\/li>\n
  14. Parents’ code word thwarts stranger’s advances toward CAK student \u00bb Knoxville News Sentinel<\/a> – An interesting family safety idea.<\/li>\n
  15. Panel: Healthy men shouldn’t get prostate test – The Denver Post<\/a> – Very, very interesting. The question is not whether folks have had their lives saved by PSA testing, but whether more lives have been lost (and others injured) by the follow-up activities from such testing.<\/li>\n
  16. Crackdown on California dispensaries planned; Colorado shops watch development closely – The Denver Post<\/a> – Really, Justice Department? You don’t have any other more urgent law enforcement concerns going on out there? Really?<\/li>\n
  17. ‘Blues Brothers’ Actor Charles Napier — Dead at 75 | TMZ.com<\/a> – Also a ST:TOS alum. “His name was Adam.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
