Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Romney Flips To Denial: ‘We Don’t Know What’s Causing Climate Change’ | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Romney is such a hack it isn’t even funny. He’s flopping around wildly, hoping to appeal to one audience after the next, and, as a result, blows his credibility even further. Cain and Perry have been just as bad.<\/li>\n
  2. Happy 125th birthday, Statue of Liberty!<\/a> – Huzzah!<\/li>\n
  3. Why I Love and How I Use Google Reader<\/a> – Yes. This. Are you listening, Google? (I note that there’s been dead silence from Google this week since the Reader\/Plus announcements last week.)<\/li>\n
  4. Google+ adds powerful photo editing suite, free<\/a> – I don’t plan on making Google+ (or, at this point, Picasa) my photo repository of choice (that’s Flickr), but for spot posting of pictures for G+, this seems like a nice added value.<\/li>\n
  5. GOP now claiming that “they” are the ones defending the social safety net<\/a> – To paraphrase the military quip from Vietnam, “We had to destroy the safety net in order to save it …”<\/li>\n
  6. Texas Concealed Handgun Class Not Available To \u201cSocialist Liberal[s] And Non-Christian Arabs\u201d<\/a> – What an ass-hat.<\/li>\n
  7. How Occupy has shifted the national debate – Boing Boing<\/a> – I think this is a very healthy sign … if it lasts.<\/li>\n
  8. Why I\u2019m not more active in the atheist community. \u00ab Stupid Evil Bastard<\/a> – Being a leader in any sort of group or community is damned hard work, and the payoff can be difficult to see in the face of the problems and conflicts it engenders. I deeply respect Les’ self-evaluation of what he’s will to put into such things (and what he’s not), and am more than happy to simply ramble along in our intermittent podcasts.<\/li>\n
  9. Timeline: Cain’s Offers His Fifth Position On Abortion, Now Allows Exceptions For Rape Or Incest | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Obviously he’s given it a lot of thought.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
