Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Mental Health Groups Ask White House To Reverse Suicide Letter Policy : Shots – Health News Blog : NPR – I support this request.
- Rasmussen: Tom Tancredo trails John Hickenlooper by 4 points | The Spot — Colorado politics and political news, information, analysis — The Denver Post – Yuck.
- 63% Of Restaurant Workers Admit To Serving While Sick – Let’s see: you’re sick, you get no sick days, you get no insurance to get to the doctor (or to get treatment before you get really sick), and you’re working in a low-paying job. Um … is it any surprise you go to work sick?
- The most amazing libertarian quote of all time – Kids in abusive families should have the choice to shop around freely for other families to do business with! Let the free market work!
- Dancing with the czars – In defense of GOP consistency, the party has lurched hard to the right since Bush/Cheney, so what they approved of or applauded then can hardly be held against them now …
- Rationalizing hostility for the Dept. Of Education – Um … Rand, I hate to tell you this, but reading curricula are determined at the state and local levels, not in DC. But don’t let that stop you from ginning up support among the homophobes.
- Most Tennesseans Say Muslims Should Get Full Rights, Back Construction Of Murfreesboro Mosque Expansion – Well that’s good to hear. The non-“most” are still too numerous for my comfort, but …

- Dear Bell & Yellow Pages … – The fact is, Yellow Pages are not a public service to consumers. They’re an ad-revenue-generating income source for their publishers. Until companies stop spending that money, we’ll keep getting these blocks of recyclables at our door.
- Right-wingers Attack Congressman Over Debate Slip (MA-03) – Listening to the full clip it’s clear that it’s a slip — either he meant to say the decision, or he was speaking of the interpretation of the Constitution in the Citizens United case. Lamb’s press release is disingenuous at best. (I’d also ask Lamb about the various other proposals by his GOP colleagues to amend the Constitution these days — aren’t they also admissions that the constitution is “wrong”?).
