RANDOM LINKS FOR 1/9/12

January 8th, 2012 by Clark Humphrey

Half of Mt. Baker Adams’s glaciers are gone. Will the Republicans exhort us to let them finish the job?
Sue Basko from Occupy L.A. has a guide to stop your protest from getting “hijacked,” either by peripheral single-issue groups, cults of personality, or opponents who want to make you look bad.
Retired TV news producer Sandy Goodman calls today’s Republican Party “The Single Biggest Threat to America.”
Harold Pollack reminds us thatÂ Ron Paul has more baggage, beyond the racist diatribes issued under his name.Â Â Seems Paul’s purist devotion to the “you’re on your own” social meme extends to hating Medicare, Aid to Dependent Children, and other safety-net mainstays.
The question shouldn’t be whether Pat Buchanan’s out at MSNBC. The question should be why the channel kept him on for so long, as a Morning Joe panelist and pundit/interviewee on other shows. If I were a conspiracy theorist (which I’m not), I’d suggest he was the channel’s house conservative because its leaders liked to make conservatives look bad.
PoMo alert: Here come buildings designed vaguely like trees, but which are not in trees and do not directly incorporate trees (except to the extent that they have lumber in them).
The most wholesomely erotic sight you’ll likely see this week: underwater stills of one naked Russian woman and two whales (also naked).

Actually, Mt. Adams, according to the linked article. Which is unfortunate, since Mt. Adams is obviously just God’s discarded early draft for Mt. Rainier, so who cares?
