Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Ridley Scott + Philip K. Dick = BBC’s alt-history WWII TV series | Blastr – Very cool news.
- PolitiFact | Rev. Franklin Graham says churches and synagogues are forbidden in most Muslim countries – Neither Graham nor most officially Islamic countries come off well here. But to me that demonstrates most of all the danger of letting the majority religion insert elements of faith and religious membership into the legal code (something far too many Christians in this country would be willing to do).
- Buffett says cut taxes for all but the rich – Street Sweep: Fortune’s Wall Street Blog – Not that Buffett is either a saint nor a prophet, but he’s also made it clear that the wealthy have to pull their own weight, and bully for him in doing so.
- Xmarks Blog » Xmarks Victory for the Users, by the Users – Wow – most excellent!
- Obama tells donors to stop sulking – We did not vote for “Better Than Bush,” and it’s a shame that, in too many ways, that’s all we got. On the other hand, he IS better than Bush. And Boehner. And we need to remember that, too.
- Evangelical David Barton Would Like To “Regulate Homosexuality” – “So, that’s our solution: we’ll take the country back to the attitudes of 1814, based on some questionable document and views that belong in another century.” I’m sure that will comfort Catholics, Jews, Blacks and Women, too.
- Newt Gingrich Calls Democrats “The Party Of Food Stamps” – The GOP is more like “The Party of No Food Stamps for You, It Will Reduce The Size of My Dividend Check.”
- Achievements! Congress Passes Bill To Make Foreclosures Easier – TalkLeft: The Politics Of Crime – The White House has announced that it will not sign the bill as it currently stands.
- Language Log » Tweet this – An interesting look at a verb created without grammar, and how it’s developing one by consensus.
- Ex-detainee sues the U.S., saying captors tortured him – I hope he receives justice.
- GOP Senate candidate Buck backs off stance on consumption tax – The Denver Post – Buck is becoming more and more skittish about being labeled an extremist as the election gets closer. He must be worried, even though he remains ahead in the polls.
- Mont. woman takes crowbar to disputed artwork in Loveland – The Denver Post – Wow — you must really have a low and fragile opinion of “Your Lord” if you think that any depiction in art that you find offensive could actually “desecrates” Him.
