I won&#8217;t even attempt to catch up. But here&#8217;s a few of the things that are open in my browser right now:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Over at <a href=\"http:\/\/bias.blogfodder.net\/archives\/2003_10.html#009152\">Cut on the Bias<\/a>, I&#8217;ve been participating in a discussion of art and comics with the (mostly right-wing) group that hangs out there. Right-wing cartoonist Chris Muir, of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daybydaycartoon.com\/\">Day by Day<\/a>, has also been contributing. (I like Chris&#8217; cartoons better than he likes mine, alas).\n<p>(If anyone from Alas comments over there, by the way, please be polite!)<\/p>\n<li>Susanna linked to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aslan.demon.co.uk\/sim-mad.htm\">this essay <\/a>about Dave Sim&#8217;s misogyny, which I thought was pretty good.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/ac2\/wp-dyn\/A27061-2003Oct14?language=printer\"><i>The Washington Post <\/i><\/a>reports on a study which found that the more people watch FoxNews, the less they&#8217;re able to accurately answer factual questions about the war in Iraq.\n<li>You may <i>think <\/i>you&#8217;re geeky, but compared to some people, you&#8217;re not a geek at all. Check out this <a href=\"http:\/\/cgi.ebay.com\/ws\/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&#038;item=2337591883\">apartment for sale on Ebay<\/a>.\n<li>Lots of people have linked to this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calpundit.com\/archives\/002380.html\">Calpundit post <\/a>on the Texas Republican party, and rightly so. The Republican party is being taken over by people who are, frankly, scarey.\n<li>Of all the Rush-mocking articles I&#8217;ve read lately, this one &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stltoday.com\/stltoday\/news\/columnists.nsf\/Bill+McClellan\/25FF9A36D42606EA86256DBE001517F2?OpenDocument&#038;Headline=If+Bill+Clinton+were++an+addict,+here's+how+Rush+might+spin+it\">If Bill Clinton were an addict, this is how Rush might spin it<\/a> &#8211; is the most on-target.\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techcentralstation.com\/100703B.html\">Arnold Kling&#8217;s much-linked tech-central column <\/a>criticizing Paul Krugman is fairly on-target, I think. Although Krugman actually uses a lot more &#8220;type C&#8221; arguments than Kling credits him for.

Dick&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewavemag.com\/pagegen.php?pagename=article&#038;articleid=24031\">Voight-Kampff Test <\/a>to find out if the candidates are humans or replicants.

I hadn&#8217;t, until yesterday. She&#8217;s a woman in a coma (or maybe not, according to some folks) who was taken off her feeding tube yesterday. It&#8217;s a fascinating issue, and one that&#8217;s apparently very big in some right-wing circles. <a href=\"http:\/\/amywelborn.typepad.com\/openbook\/2003\/10\/terri_schiavo_1.html\">Amy Welborn <\/a>has some informative links.

I don&#8217;t really disagree with Amy; obviously (and thanks mainly to feminism), things have improved substantially since Amy&#8217;s mother entered the workforce. If Amy&#8217;s arguing that discrimination is no longer a significant factor at all, I&#8217;d disagree with her, but I&#8217;m not sure that is what she&#8217;s arguing.\n<li>Eve Tushnet has been arguing against same-sex marriage. I disagree with Eve, but her blog is a good place to go if you want to see the most intelligent, coherent arguments agailable against SSM &#8211; just <a href=\"http:\/\/eve-tushnet.blogspot.com\/2003_10_01_eve-tushnet_archive.html#106566708760214170\">click here <\/a>and then scroll upwards. I hope to find time to respond to some of Eve&#8217;s points in the next week.\n<p>Oh, and hey: Congrats to Eve on her new post as editor of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marriagedebate.com\/mdblog.php\">Marriage Deabte blog<\/a>.<\/ul>\n<p>Whoops &#8211; time for me to run to work.
