Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Disney Bans ABC Affiliates From Talking To Johnny Depp About His New Movie<\/a> – Ah, having entertainment companies control news companies is always so … entertaining.<\/li>\n
  2. Mom Crusading Against Dirty Fast Food Playgrounds Says She’s Now Banned From 11 McDonald’s: Chris Morran<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. British MP Investigating News Corp Weighs In On Alleged Hacking In U.S.: Lee Fang<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Reality can be sad: admin<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Are women and comics risky business? \u2013 GeekOut – CNN.com Blogs<\/a> – Short version: Male comic book execs hire the people they know who are mostly male. Plus, mostly guys read comics, so publishers believe it’s safer to market big-boobed women to them than try and grow the female audience. Feh.<\/li>\n
  6. Joss Whedon announces secret film of ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’ ability to warp time and space at will<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Even Pat Robertson Thinks Republican Voters Are Too Extreme | Right Wing Watch<\/a> – The most reality-based thing Pat’s said in years.<\/li>\n
  8. Vatican Calls For Economic Equality, Sweeping Reform Of Global Financial System | ThinkProgress<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Newly Deployed Soldier Has Dreamed Of Fighting In Afghan War Since He Was Little Kid | The Onion<\/a> – Once again, the Onion makes one cringe at it verisimilitude.<\/li>\n
  10. APOD: 2011 October 24 – HH 222: The Waterfall Nebula<\/a> – Lovely universe, ennit?<\/li>\n
  11. Loaded Gun Slips by TSA (Again)<\/a> – This is getting a ton of press, but, really, this was not carry-on luggage but checked luggage, and the TSA (apparently) searches that more for explosives or firearms. I’m not all that horribly worried about folks carrying guns in their checked luggage (and appropriately so). For all the variety of legit criticisms against the TSA, this one is pretty weak tea.<\/li>\n
  12. Joe Lieberman Deciding Which Republican He Wants to Replace Him<\/a> – But the malady lingers on …<\/li>\n
  13. Microsecond – DORK TOWER, Monday, October 24, 2011<\/a> – Yeah, that’s me. (And, yes, I think that’s a typo in there, too … \ud83d\ude42 )<\/li>\n
  14. Hero Social Worker Barely Survives Tornado, But Workers’ Comp Gets Denied<\/a> – Wow. That sounds like a dickish decision.<\/li>\n
  15. TSA goes through woman’s luggage, finds sex toy, leaves pervy note<\/a> – Stay classy, highly trained professional agents of the TSA!<\/li>\n
  16. Google wants you to add writers on Google+, so do writers<\/a> – An interesting idea, and probably of value for some users. I am getting a bit uncomfortable with Google rolling out so much Google-centric stuff in its search engine, though. Seems like an idea that could eventually bit them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
