Sunday Morning Reading Material (Second Sunday in October)
Nice…
Sundays are for lounging around with your friends, tearing yourself away from a cuddle pile so that dear and beloved readers can have some links to read. You better thank me. Alternately, Sundays are for heading to a Renaissance Faire and reenacting history the way it should be.
Me? I’m just going to be rooting for the Giants.
This week some miners in Chile were rescued after nearly a 100 days underground. Also: the governor of California used his line item veto to destroy funding for special ed children, children of low income parents who are in daycare, and other worthwhile programs. He did, however, leave intact tax cuts for really rich people.
It’s Sunday morning, so pull up a cup of Funranium’s finest
Speaking of California: here’s how we San Franciscans see the world. Canadians: only east coasters call it “America’s Hat”.
Last week I checked out the Blue Angles. We like them. Let me tell you: there’s something about watching a plane soaring 50 feet above the Bay, going so fast that the water molecules around the craft are literally glowing that makes me proud to be human.

Animals where they don’t belong
Fred Clark is back with a brand new edition. It’s possible I just wanted to quote Vanilla Ice. Anyway: he’s bringing the high octane preaching. Today’s target: the fallacy that all non-christians are bad people.
I’m not yet sure how I’m going to vote on California’s Prop 19. Our current “medical” marijuana laws are kind of a joke, though.
Best hat ever? Discuss in the comments.
You need to actually read this. (Female Character Flow Chart).
Who cares about whether Han or Greedo Shot first? Question: Why wasn’t it Stormtroopers?
Stop blaming the pensions for our really shitty fiscal situation. The fault lies in a shitty economy. Fix that and the rest takes care of itself.
Gays aren’t hitting on straights. At least, not when they know people are straight. Also: “2% of gay people have had 23% of the total reported gay sex, which is pretty crazy.” I’d love to see a similar stat about straights…
Rule of thumb: if you don’t know when to wear contrasting cuffs and collars– but do it anyway: you’re a douche.
