Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….

- Why We Are Angry at the TSA – “As the holidays approach, conservatives livid over the new procedures might take a moment during the humiliating inconvenience of a virtual strip search or TSA grope session to think about what indefinite detention in an island prison or a week of forced sleep deprivation feels like.

- Scapegoating Federal Workers – “For the last few decades, conservatives have waged a war on unions, one that has been largely successful. In the 1950s, a third of private-sector workers belonged to a union. Today, only 7.2 percent of the private-sector workforce is unionized. Government is the last substantially unionized sector in the American economy, a place where people who do the public’s work can get a good salary, good benefits, and job security. And that’s the real reason they’ve become the right’s latest target.”
