conuly
(Quite a lot of them have to do with the TSA situation, I'll try to group them together.)
Placards, kilts part of plans for scanner protests
Oversecured America
AP Exclusive: Color-coded terror alerts may end
Schneir on Security's recent update about it all
And an LJ link
An update from the ACLU saying the TSA isn't training its scanners
Why Cavity Bombs Would Make the TSA Irrelevant
TSA chief: Resisting scanners just means delays
For the First Time, the TSA Meets Resistance
TSA Chief: US Will Never Ease Screening Policy

On turkeys. Hey, could I raise my own heritage turkey for the holiday next year? You *can* keep poultry in the city if they aren't noisy. And we already have wild or feral turkeys in Staten Island, among other places.
On stuffing your turkey with White Castle burgers.
Coyotes have been released in Chicago to help keep down the rodent population. I suppose that's not very much different than encouraging peregrine* falcons in NYC.
*Peregrine means wandering, of course, and is related to the word pilgrim in the obvious way.
A fluffy little article on Yiddish.
And for that matter, you can check out a nifty language map to see where Yiddish is spoken in the US!
It's time to sign up for SantaThing. This also makes a good gift. However, I will get you nothing in return, so bear that in mind.
University Kicks Student With Down Syndrome Out Of Classroom; Other Students Protest And Are Ignored
On tattoos to improve/monitor your health
Our Disappearing Apples
On taxes
Some graphs on race and the death penalty
Obama, S. Korea leader agree to hold joint military exercise. If somebody manages to start the Korean war up again, I'll be very irked. I'm already irked, frankly, because I see the likelihood of this.
Allergic Teen Seeks High School Perfume Ban
Conservatives at odds with Vatican over condoms
Children Born 'Late Pre-Term' More Prone to Low IQ
Minnesota is using paperwork to deter induced labor
The use of braces for younger kids is increasing
And one from Motortrend.com that's... just well-worth reading for the fun of it.

PENCILS!
