coalescent points out a modern version of an old-fashioned game:
3D Pong. I still need to find my old-school Bubble Pong, though.

Want Not, a back-to-school
sale at Threadless. Many tees are $12 apiece, including two of my favorites:
Splatter in D Minor and
Birds of a Feather. Too bad I already have way too many T-shirts, including a music one (from Delia's, a birthday gift, and awesome-looking).

Greta Christina:
-
Religious atheism / Quaker nontheism. The latter basically describes one of my friends (who went to a Quaker school for nine years), and maybe me one day as well. Who knows. If I ever get tired of the atheism racket, I'd be either a nontheist Quaker or a nontheist Buddhist.
-
Three Reasons Why Republicans Are Wrong. I especially like #2: America is
not a Christian nation. Yes, please. I'd like to hear a compelling,
non-faith-based argument against gay marriage. If you're morally against it, where does that particular moral stem from?

Four Key Battleground States for the upcoming November election. I totally support the popular vote initiative because the electoral system renders certain individual votes useless if you happen to be in the overwhelming majority (or minority) in your state. And because no one ever campaigning in Delaware makes me sad. (Though this might change, now that Biden is running for VP. We'll see.)
