Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Palin Refuses To Say If She’d Debate Gore On Climate Change: ‘It Depends On What The Venue Would Be’ – Palin’s paranoia, infantilism, and disdain for others is breathtaking.
- Tea Party activists to ‘storm Senate offices’ and ‘stay there until they force us to leave.’ – So tell me … when do the plan to “go inside the private insurance company offices and hallways, and play out the role of patients waiting for treatment to be approved by their insurers. As the day goes on some of us will pretend to die from our untreated illnesses and collapse on the floor. Many of us plan to stay there until they force us to leave.” Hmm?
- Lafferty: Islam Is Not a Religion and Nonbelievers Hate Poor Children: Kyle
- Warren Finally Speaks Out Against Uganda Bill – How do you claim it’s “a law that I had nothing to do with, completely oppose and vigorously condemn” when you’ve only now spoken out against it. If you completely oppose it, I’d think that would impel some action. And how do you “vigorously condemn” in (until now) silence?
- Amazon Disc+ On Demand: Buy a DVD, Stream it Immediately – Clever, clever, clever.
- Truth Wins Out: Rick Warren speaks out against anti-gay Uganda bill – Dragged kicking and screaming — well, dragged, at least — but I’m pleased he did it.
- E&P and Kirkus Review to Close as the Other Nielsen Trade Papers Are Sold – As the periodical industry continues to implode …
- SC lawmakers vote against impeaching Sanford | Charlotte News, Weather, Traffic, Sports WCNC.com | Political News – But they pretty much throw the rhetorical book at him.
- Media Matters staff: Fox Nation is just asking: Is Environmentalism the New Marxism? – I don’t know — is Fox News the New Volksaufklärung und Propaganda Ministry? It’s as least as rational a question.
- Jeremy Schulman: Confronted with clear falsehood, Fox News scraps its “zero tolerance” policy – “On Fox News, percentages don’t add up to 100 and, apparently, ‘zero tolerance’ means unless we get caught.”
- Eric Boehlert: This week’s dumbest Obama polling question – Reminds me of those Russian polls where folks wax nostalgically for Stalin …
- Supreme Court Takes Church-State Case – Note that the people shouting that, yes, tax dollars should go to organizations that discriminate based on religion, are the people shouting most loudly that, no, tax dollars should not go to fund things they don’t like (abortion).
- We Should Only Be So Lucky – An interesting analysis of the “If they know when we’re leaving, they’ll just wait us out” argument for Afghanistan.
- Poll Shows NRA Members Are More Moderate Than Their Leaders, Support Some Restrictions On Firearms – Not surprisingly, the leadership are the True Believers that are fully vested into their rhetoric and positions.
- Poll: Strong majority of Americans still ‘favor’ a public option.: Matt Corley
- Beck: We Should ‘Just Abolish Medicare’ – But wait — I thought the Right was objecting to the Evil Dems raiding Medicare, which would kill zillions of senior citizens. Now Glenn Beck is saying we should just get rid of it? Will all those GOP Senators decry his suggestion? (Doubtful.)
- O’Reilly: ‘We triple-check everything’ that goes on my show. – So how quick will O’Reilly’s “correction” be, and how prominently placed?
- Republicans Oppose Strengthening ‘Extremely Important’ Program They’ve Vowed To ‘Protect’ – They hated Medicare before they loved it (before they hate it again).
- Rep. Rohrabacher on Copenhagen: ‘This is about global government. … We must fight the globalist clique!’ – Ah, Dana, Dana, Dana — I always enjoy reading about your shenanigans when I’m visiting California.
