\"\"<\/a>Olympics<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Our unpatriotic Olympians!<\/a> – Fox Sports commentator critiques US Olympians — especially the gymnasts, especially Gabby — for not wearing the stars and stripes, calling it “soft anti-Americanism.”<\/li>\n
  2. Fox Sports, racist? Perish the thought!<\/a> – Oh, and another Fox Sports commentator sniffs at Serena Williams doing a little dance after her gold medal victory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Serious stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Why, yes, there is an attack on religious freedoms going on here<\/a> – But it’s not against Christians.<\/li>\n
    2. Seeking Sikh<\/a> – Not a lot of folks know anything about the Sikh religion. It’s a shame that a tragedy like the temple shooting should be the first time people think about it, but better late than never.<\/li>\n
    3. Managing managed animal populations<\/a> – When there are too many animals of a particular breed or breeding line, zookeepers in different countries vary on the best way to control the population.<\/li>\n
    4. The Crew of the “Enola Gay”<\/a> – And their thoughts over the decades about the bombing of Hiroshima.<\/li>\n
    5. It’s too darned hot<\/a> – Heat wave continues in Denver.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Fun stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Star Crossed<\/a> – The connection between Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald.<\/li>\n
      2. Advanced planning can help you avoid embarrassing situations<\/a> – Great idea, faulty execution.<\/li>\n
      3. Why do stubbed toes hurt so much?<\/a> – Because, boy, do they.<\/li>\n
      4. Lego “Serenity” is very shiny<\/a> – Well done!<\/li>\n
      5. So make the Bad Horse gleeful, or<\/a> … – The Evil League of Evil is watching, so beware<\/li>\n
      6. I take my paternal model from Calvin’s Dad<\/a> – But this dad will do in a pinch.<\/li>\n
      7. Playing around with Wireless N<\/a> – My current home networking struggles.<\/li>\n
      8. Life insinuates into art<\/a> – Fun with statuary.<\/li>\n
      9. Dumping Daredevil<\/a> – If Marvel\/Disney negotiates to let Fox keep Daredevil (or his film rights) longer, in return for some more Cosmic heroes, that would be a win-win.<\/li>\n
      10. Concerted Effort<\/a> – Kay preparing for a band concert this weekend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
