Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Ensign feels sorry for himself – Gosh — great way to take responsibility for your actions, John.
- A Few Right-Wing Leaders Vow To Be More Civil – They are certainly fine words and good sentiments. Let’s see if the signers adhere to those “vows,” let alone have anyone else join them. Faith without acts is dead.
- Rep. Nunes calls Hill aides ‘staff thugs,’ compares Pelosi to Saddam Hussein and Robert Mugabe. – “He’s like Hitler!” “She’s like Benedict Arnold!” “He’s like Mengle!” “She’s like Mugabe!” “He’s like the Antichrist!” “She’s like … like … Galactus! And … um … someone else really awful!” You know, sooner or later they will run out of Bad Guys to ludicrously compare Democratic pols to.
- Gingrich Says Democrats ‘Have To Take Some Moral Responsibility’ For Far-Right Death Threats – On the one hand, the Right has never lacked for the willingness to blame the victim (as long as the victim is someone else). On the other hand, Gingrich is a boorish asshat. Hmmm — do the Democrats have to take responsibility for that, too?
- IRS Commissioner Debunks GOP Fear-Mongering: We Won’t Audit People To Check Health Insurance Status – So clearly there will be enforcement of this via the IRS, but no more or different than, as suggested, noting discrepancies in declared income or doing something else to make yourself audit-worthy.
- PartiallyClips – After-Dinner Discussion – I love the English language.
- Setting the record straight on terror prosecutions – You'd think that the Law & Order Right would have more faith in our criminal justice system.
- One incident is real, one is not – But don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story!
- “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death”: Liberty Counsel Issues A Call to Revolution (Nonviolently, Of Course): Kyle
- Best. Company name. Ever. – Just don’t eat at the employee cafeteria … (Interestingly enough, the website is utterly, completely business-like.)
- Federal Eye – Eye Opener: Group wants southerners to put ‘Confederate Southern American’ on the Census – Oh, swell …
- On being Rexroth: Living with a Literary Agent – I can’t imagine being a literary agent, though I probably read that much in badly written emails each week. (And Sturgeon was, of course, an optimist.)
