Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. HP decides to keep PC division after all<\/a> – Nice way to destroy brand equity and customer relationships, HP.<\/li>\n
  2. Random Answers<\/a> – Well, that’s easy, it … uh … wait …<\/li>\n
  3. REPORT: House GOP’s ‘Job Creating’ Spending Cuts Destroyed 370,000 Jobs | ThinkProgress<\/a> – The GOP doesn’t mind because cutting government employment is, apparently, a positive thing. “Did you ever kill any jobs?” “Yes, but zey vere all BAD.”<\/li>\n
  4. Is It Old? Lets you know if that link you found is old news\u00a0–\u00a0The Red Ferret Journal<\/a> – Okay, that’s an amusing idea.<\/li>\n
  5. Joe. My. God.: Abortion Laws Of The World<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Guns To Be Permitted In Wisconsin Capitol, But Not Signs – Law Blog – WSJ<\/a> – From the quotations, the GOP lawmakers are more scared of unruly signs than concealed weapons. Yeesh.<\/li>\n
  7. The TSA Blog: Inappropriate Note Author Identified and Removed From Screening<\/a> – Okay, polite applause to the TSA for (a) taking this action, and (b) balancing very HR-appropriate privacy concerns with the public’s interest in this case. Because not only do we want to be sure that this creep is permanently off the line (and, preferably, out of the TSA), but it will send a very useful message to the other folks who rummage through our luggage.<\/li>\n
  8. Frontier Airlines owner considers sale of jets, landing slots – The Denver Post<\/a> – Hmmm. That’s not good.<\/li>\n
  9. Record Year For Abortion Restrictions | The Onion<\/a> – This would be hilarious, of course, were it not so Onionesquely close to the truth.<\/li>\n
  10. Report: South Dakota Removes Hundreds Of Native American Children From Their Homes, Collects Millions In Federal Funds<\/a> – Disgusting.<\/li>\n
  11. After Two Anti-Gay Groups Oppose Lesbian Judge, Senate GOP Suddenly Decides To Oppose Her<\/a> – It’s all about appeasing the fringe.<\/li>\n
  12. Shell\u2019s Sketchy Arctic Spill Plan<\/a> – If I came up with a Disaster Recovery plan that shoddy, I would probably get fired. But, then, Shell is far less interested in actual disaster planning (which would cost a lot of money and time) than in checking off the appropriate box on its application to the government. And, after all, what’s the worse that could happen? ExxonMobil and BP are still in business …<\/li>\n
  13. Just Three Corporate Front Groups Spent 13 Times As Much As The Entire Labor Movement To Buy Judicial Elections: Ian Millhiser<\/a><\/li>\n
  14. How David Barton Is Secretly Shaping Curricula Across The Nation<\/a> – “Soros-type people get paid to find my name every time it pops up and they will start blogging about how stupid I am, how I don’t know anything, how I make up my history. And so if you Google me, you’re going to find a lot of negative stuff about me.” I’m proud to say some of that stuff is here (though, sadly, I don’t get paid for it). Dolt.<\/li>\n
  15. You can now access thousands of scientific articles (written by some of history’s greatest minds) for free [This Is Awesome]<\/a> – This is why we have the Internet. Fantastic.<\/li>\n
  16. Soda use linked to teen violence [Sociology]<\/a> – Um … or maybe teens that are prone to “violence” (handwaving definition) are more likely to drink sugary, caffeinated sodas.<\/li>\n
  17. Denver schools panel will weigh moving fall start date past dog days of August – The Denver Post<\/a> – Ironically, some late-starting California public schools are moving the other direction.<\/li>\n
  18. First Look: Will Sasso, Sean Hayes & Chris Diamantopoulos in \u2018The Three Stooges\u2019<\/a> – I have to say, after multiple decades past when The Three Stooges were “forbidden fruit” on TV when I was a kid, I am well and truly over them. This movie doesn’t at all change that.<\/li>\n
  19. Robert Reich: Obama should call for return of Glass-Steagall<\/a> – What? You think we really need a barrier between banks that accept deposits from families, and banks that bundle up crappy derivatives and sell them in an ever-swelling bubble? I mean what could possibly go wrong?<\/li>\n
  20. Weird Things My Family Says<\/a> – Family insider speech is often amusing. (“Hungry?” “Whizins!”)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
