- The Pudding Guy – Well played, sir.
- How to prepare a kiwi – Aha!
- The Facts About Smoking – I’m actually pleased the numbers have dropped as low as they have. I hope they continue to decline.
- Letters Reveal Top GOP Lawmakers Demanded Stimulus Money As ‘Vital’ Job Creating Engines: Lee Fang
- It’s A Lie, By George!: Religious Right Spreads Myths About America’s First President « The Wall of Separation – But lying is, of course, okay when it’s for a Higher Cause, right? That’s certainly the lesson being taught here.
- Zazi to plead guilty – But … but … if we’d tortured him, he wouldn’t have had to plead! Except, maybe, for us to stop torturing him.
- If only Obama’s critics paid closer attention – Misinformation or disinformation? The idea that Obama is some ultra-radical who kow-tows to the left fringe of the Dems, rather than a centrist who keeps offering to compromise with the GOP, would be bizarrely laughable, save that it serves as the Big Lie for the GOP to keep telling their constituents.
- Time For A Nice, Light, Uncontroversial Topic… Like, Say, Mm, Religion – For what it’s worth, the org doing this is, in fact, the “fundamentalist” arm of the Catholic Church (as a perusal of the website shows). And I’m sorry, but it takes a much more convincing case than quoting what Pope Eugene IV said in AD 1441 (laughable vector of delivery aside).

- More information means more support – This should be Job 1 for the Democrats — playing up individual aspects of the plan, vs. letting the GOP tar the thing as some vague, amorphous, scary, socialistic evil.
- Meet The Real Victim Of Last Week’s Terror Attack On IRS Building – Vietnam Vet, Vernon Hunter – Would Sen. Brown care to shrug off this man’s death (again) based on folks being “irritated” with the IRS?
- VA Legislator: Disabled Children Are God’s Punishment for Women Who’ve Had Abortions: Kyle
- Amazon is The Most Trusted Brand in America – Wonder when this was surveyed (given the high rating shown for Toyota).
- National Margarita Day 2010 Real Recipes: Celebrate Responsibly | NowPublic News Coverage – You have official permission to (responsibly) celebrate. Our home margaritas are 3:1:2 (tequila/triple sec/lime juice), which tend to thus be tart, which means we usually put in a bit of simple syrup for visitors. Oh, and no salt on mine, please.
