Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. More trouble for Android, Apple granted Slide to Unlock patent<\/a> – Really? That’s a patentable item? Crikey …<\/li>\n
  2. How to Survive the Switch from Google Reader to Google+<\/a> – Will probably start playing around with this, in prep for. Feels fairly kludgy, but it’s not clear there’s any better game in town. And Reader will still be RSS aggregating a lot of info for me — just not what other people are trying to share.<\/li>\n
  3. Genius Fruit Label Turns into Soap When Wet [Desired]<\/a> – Nice idea.<\/li>\n
  4. Monumental Mistake: A Statue Of Jesus In A National Forest Violates Church-State Separation \u00ab The Wall of Separation<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Rick Perry: Obama\u2019s Birth Certificate is a \u201cGood Issue to Keep Alive\u201d<\/a> – Political hack.<\/li>\n
  6. Denver H&M announces opening day of Nov. 10 – The Denver Post<\/a> – Never been to one, and not much interest in it — except it’s good to see that retail space filled.<\/li>\n
  7. Rep. Ted Poe: Obama Administration Is “Anti-Religious”<\/a> – Because preventing people from imposing their religion on others is a violation of their freedom of religion, is that it, Ted? Dolt.<\/li>\n
  8. 4 Out Of 5 Metropolitan Areas Lack Competitive Health Insurance Markets<\/a> – But … but … Free Market! Invisible Hand! Death Panels!<\/li>\n
  9. If you know what this is, you\u2019re an old gamer<\/a> – Whoa. That brings back memories …<\/li>\n
  10. Crowdsourced Happiness: A Short, Good Story About The Internet \u2014 For A Change<\/a> – Noted for future reference.<\/li>\n
  11. NOM Steals Obama Rally Photos To Lie About Their Own Failed Events<\/a> – HA! (Cue Carol Kane: “LIARS!”)<\/li>\n
  12. Ten years of Windows XP: how longevity became a curse<\/a> – Still running it, though when I get a chance to upgrade (i.e., can afford a day without my computer), I will.<\/li>\n
  13. Perry Ditches Idea That Social Security Is Unconstitutional, Adopts Privatization Plan The Public Already Rejected | ThinkProgress<\/a> – I think folks with their own 401(k) plans can tell Gov. Perry how unstable “personal retirement accounts” can be. Privatizing Social Security flies directly in the face of the reason it was put together in the first place.<\/li>\n
  14. mental_floss Blog \u00bb The President\u2019s Secret New York City Train Station<\/a> – Cool.<\/li>\n
  15. ELCA Pastor: \u201cLove Trumps Chromosomes\u201d | Religion Dispatches<\/a><\/li>\n
  16. GOP Candidates Declare War on Judicial Branch | People For the American Way Blog<\/a> – It’s not that they don’t like judicial power — they just want it to be ruling on their ideological side.<\/li>\n
  17. The Shari\u2019ah Spring: Media Gets It Backwards | Politics | Religion Dispatches<\/a> – An interesting analogy between the prospect of Islamic democracies in the Middle East and Christian democracies (particularly the US) in the West. I don’t believe that Islam requires authoritarianism (and certainly we’ve seen a lot of secular authoritarianism in the Middle East), though I remain more comfortable with a secular government in a multi-religious society … so it will be interesting to see how this develops.<\/li>\n
  18. Constitutional Emergency: Hospital Merger In Louisville Could Mean Church Control Of Health Care \u00ab The Wall of Separation<\/a> – I really don’t see how this sort of joint running of things, with religious dictates as to allowable services, can be legally defended.<\/li>\n
  19. How the Rich Subverted the Legal System and Occupy Wall Street Swept the Land | The Nation<\/a> – The issue is not that there are rich and poor. The issue is the perception of corruption and a special class. People are willing to see inequality of wealth, if there’s still the undertanding that everyone is an American and is equal before the law. When that breaks down, and when the inequality of wealth become seen more as exploitative than an opportunity that all may take a chance at, then the social order that supports that inequality starts to break down, too. Which doesn’t help rich or poor. Indeed, the rich have more to lose ..<\/li>\n
  20. Perry On Whether His Tax Plan Gives Millions In Tax Breaks To The Rich: ‘I Don’t Care About That’ | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Best tax reform plan money can buy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
