I’ve finally gotten in touch with the Google+Blog plugin guy, and am shuffling info requests between him and my host. \u00a0So, hopefully, the automation will start working again Real Soon Now.<\/p>\n

Meantime …<\/p>\n

This and that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The cost of rape<\/a>\u00a0– <\/strong>Not the emotional cost, but the actual medical bill cost. \u00a0In the US, at least.<\/li>\n
  2. A nice cease-and-desist letter? \u00a0Inconceivable!<\/a> – <\/strong>Sometimes trademark lawyers can be cool. \u00a0Yeah, hard to believe.<\/li>\n
  3. I would buy this cereal. Or t-shirts. Or mugs.<\/a>\u00a0– <\/strong>Truth.<\/li>\n
  4. Slamming Penn State<\/a>\u00a0– <\/strong>Good.<\/li>\n
  5. Coming soon to breadlines near you<\/a> – <\/strong>Our retirement system sucks. And it’s getting worse, especially as pensions become less common and people do a poor job of saving.<\/li>\n
  6. Jobmakers, Wagecutters<\/a><\/strong> –\u00a0Because why not try to cripple pensions and<\/em>\u00a0social security? It’s a win-win!<\/li>\n
  7. Thanks, Sally. \u00a0Rest in Peace.<\/a>\u00a0–<\/strong> Sally Ride, RIP.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    More on the Colorado theater shootings:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Misplaced sensitivity<\/a>\u00a0– <\/strong>Yes, please be sensitive. But be sensitive in a meaningful way.<\/li>\n
    2. Doctor Jerry Newcombe is a Dolt (Gathered to Jesus Edition)<\/a>\u00a0– <\/strong>Because, of course, now is the time to mention that all the non-Christians who were killed are now down in Hell. \u00a0Stay classy, Jerry!<\/li>\n
    3. Blaming the Victims<\/a>\u00a0– <\/strong>If you’re going to blame the movie theater victims for not charging the shooter, don’t back down and say you were really just talking about the evils of gun control. It just make you look like a cowardly<\/em> jerk.<\/li>\n
    4. Solutions to the problem of theater shootings<\/a> – <\/strong>Are there solutions? And do they raise bigger problems than what they purport to solve?<\/li>\n
    5. If only there were more guns<\/a> – <\/strong>Because that would have solved all the problems, because everyone carrying a gun should really be firing it off in a dark, smoky theater and at the one person who’s obviously the target because they’re … firing a gun.<\/li>\n
    6. People suck at risk analysis<\/a> – <\/strong>Which is why we overreact to some things, and underreact to others.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
