Friday morning linkage.
- Mark Scribner at Open Market has a few choice words for urban planners: “…they are merely misdirecting taxpayer dollars and private investment into development projects that no one desires enough to privately provide—another example of the road to Hell being paved (a bit more literally in this case) with good intentions.”
- Greg Gutfeld discusses the idea of building a Muslim-friendly gay bar near the proposed mosque site at Ground Zero. The humorless and ignoble twerps at Media Matters, of course, fail miserably in their assessment.
- Jon Stewart does have moments, now and then, of fierce lucidity.
- The world’s worst vacations: Bali; Belize; the Indian Ocean; Uganda; Thailand; London; Cancun (twice); Yemen; the Jersey Shore; the Great Barrier Reef; Moab, Utah; the Mediterranean; Istanbul; Luxor; Mont Tremblant, Canada; Baja; Yellowstone National Park.
- Francis Collins: Year 1 review.
- Angry people pay more attention to rewards than threats. (Why don’t customer service goons understand this?)
- The ocean’s vacuum cleaners.
- Oregon: the shrimp glow here.
- In Ohio: The pious vs. the leafless.
- So many great films are explored at Movies About Girls — Bikini Chain Gang; the Pig Keeper’s Daughter; and Dinosaur Valley Girls (NSFW).
