Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Pedestrians on Streets Designed for Cars<\/a> – While these seem to be various run-down areas, the same sort of problem can be found in business parks and more upscale commercial streets as well. When I go on a business trip to another office, and decide to walk someplace for lunch, all too often I’m faced with large parking lots and feeder streets that have no sidewalk.<\/li>\n
  2. Play the Goddamn Music and Light the @#$%ing Lights, the Muppets Are BACK<\/a> – I. Do. Want.<\/li>\n
  3. San Francisco Restaurants Want To Make 25% Standard Tip Rate \u00ab CBS San Francisco<\/a> – Um … no. Generally speaking, fixed “tips” have tended to equal poor service in my experience. (That said, I also realize a lot of patrons are crappy tippers.)<\/li>\n
  4. Metro mayors worry: Additional revenue shortfalls might follow a successful FasTracks tax expansion – The Denver Post<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. mental_floss Blog \u00bb Happy 70th Birthday, Paul Simon!<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Fischer: “If Anybody Is Out There Saying Something Is A Cult, It’s The LDS Church!”<\/a> – Bryan is right — Jeffress does have the right to his sincerely held religious belief, and to even voice said belief. And we have the right to point and laugh at the both of them.<\/li>\n
  7. Herman Cain, KKK Crackers, and Snuffing The Seed of One Of Your Hoes<\/a> – Aw, come on, that was a whole FIVE YEARS AGO! That’s ancient history in GOP circles!<\/li>\n
  8. In David Barton’s Alternative Reality, Americans Love Don’t Ask Don’t Tell<\/a> – By “overwhelmingly popular” he clearly means “among people who donate money to my pseudo-historical anti-church-state-separation organization WallBuilders.”<\/li>\n
  9. While Condemning Religious Bigotry, Romney Aligns Himself With Anti-Muslim Activists<\/a> – It’s hard to swing a dead cat in GOP circles without hitting someone who’s spewed venom against someone else’s religion.<\/li>\n
  10. Beck: Barton Does More Good “Than A Pack Of Charities Combined”<\/a> – Because, of course, Jesus told his followers to give all they had to pseudo-historians.<\/li>\n
  11. A Rich Kid Stands Up For #OccupyWallStreet<\/a> – “I want to live in a world where we all have enough.” Isn’t it sad that’s seen as something radical and wrong?<\/li>\n
  12. One In Three Gap Stores In U.S. Will Be Closed By End Of 2013<\/a> – “Fall Into The Gap!”<\/li>\n
  13. 5 Essential Superhero Redesigns! | Indistinguishable From Magic<\/a> – I don’t agree with all of his criticisms, but I like his redesigns.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
