Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. GeekMom \u00bb The Tipping Point: Geek Girls, Superheroes, and the DC Comics Reboot<\/a> – “Superheroes are a mythic fantasy about taking control to do the right thing. There\u2019s nothing inherently male about that.” Very true.<\/li>\n
  2. The World Is Surprisingly Angry About the End of Google Reader – Technology – The Atlantic Wire<\/a> – Of all the folks who’ve complained about this, I think the Iranians have the most legitimate gripe (and I’ve read a bucketload of their comments about it).<\/li>\n
  3. Halloween Candy Conundrum<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  4. GOP Congressman Claims Large Jesus Statue Is Not \u2018Religious\u2019<\/a> – I may be a bit rusty on my Catholicism, but I’m pretty sure that a big statue of Jesus put up by the Knights of Columbus is probably meant to be a religious statement.<\/li>\n
  5. Victory in Florida: No Illegal Drug Testing For Welfare \u00bb Blog of Rights: Official Blog of the American Civil Liberties Union<\/a> – Good.<\/li>\n
  6. Harvey Insists LGBT Christians And Allies Should Leave Christianity<\/a> – Linda, with all due respect, bugger off. Your understanding of what the Creator “would do,” and what Christians who accept gay, etc., individuals lovingly into the church and as themselves, is pitiful.<\/li>\n
  7. “the Doctor’s Eleven” by Steven Thibaudeau | RedBubble<\/a> – Fantastic!<\/li>\n
  8. Running Out the Clock on Government Regulations<\/a> – “It’s obvious who stands to gain: REINS is supported by big businesses with a stake in undermining public protections so they can increase their profits.” Are there unnecessary regulations? Sure. But do you solve that by hamstringing the regulatory mechanisms of the US government? Of course not.<\/li>\n
  9. A Good Day for Vices: Coffee Is Healthy and Hot Dogs Aren’t As Bad As You Thought<\/a> – Hot Dogs and Coffee FTW!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
