Weekend linksplosion

onefinemess | April 26, 2009

I haven’t done this in a while…but I’ve got too many links to get them out in any speedy manner if I do it one by one.  So.  BOOM:

net blips for the morning

onefinemess | April 15, 2009

Some highly entertaining/interesting reading for the morning:
Republicans get mad when the surveillance programs they thought were a good idea under Bush are turned against them.  Hey, I’m against all this surveillance too – but you weren’t crying about it when they were spying on lefties were you?  Karma’s a bitch.
Matt Taibbi on the “peasant mentality” [...]

So I just read through all of Megatokyo

inside a day.
And now, of course I want more.
I love finding new (old) online comics, because then I have years of story to process.  Unfortunately, at 2-3 strips per week, even 5+ years of comics goes pretty fast.
Oh, where are my manners, link:
Megatokyo.

Letting children sue their parents for punishment – and win?
And you thought American courts were getting meddlesome…this is crazy.
How are parents supposed to oh, I don’t know, PARENT with the threat of legal action from their child hanging over them?

This is worth a read.
It seems obvious now that they point it out…

onefinemess | April 2, 2009

Yeah, I couldn’t think of anything particularly witty.  This should obvious.
Anyway, so I didn’t even realize PETA was part of the animal shelter/rehousing gig – but it turns out they are, and they really suck at it.

stupid people alert: mom lets son starve to death because he won’t say “amen”

OK, it’s more complicated than that, but just barely.

The Onion, Obama, Battlestar

My thoughts will come later, but for now you can see how the Pres feels about the whole thing.

sometimes, it’s just too easy

See, I don’t even have to say anything about this, do I?
