Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Anti-Choice Groups Intensify Efforts to Restrict Reproductive Rights in States – I’d be curious to know how may of the people scandalized by the idea that the government can compel you to buy health insurance, or compel you to be grope-patted down, are completely on board with the idea that the government can compel you to watch an ultrasound monitor. (Or, to be fair, vice-versa.)
- Did Giuliani And Co. Provide ‘Material Support’ To Terrorist Group? – Tsk! It’s only a terrorist group when it opposes something you like; when it’s on your side, it’s freedom fighters!
- Sen. Shelby’s Pork Lust Forces NASA To Spend $500 Million On Canceled Rocket Program – While I’m not thrilled about the Constellation/Ares program being cancelled (and while this miscue benefits my company — not named), this sort of crapola is just the sort of thing that the GOP claims to abhor, except for when it’s their districts and corporate sponsors it (inadvertently?) benefits.
- Supported By Tea Party Polluters, Upton Flips On Threat Of Global Warming – The best government money can buy.
- Live in a fortress – Okay, this looks like a cool holiday setting.
- Fun New ‘Soft Earmarks’ Don’t Count As Earmarks For GOP – Money — and desire for money — always finds a way.
- Taking the Christ Out of Christmas – I think about this a lot. “Clearly, my brother and I cannot—or will not—be as poor as it seems Jesus wants us to be. What are we—who want to share what we have and who don’t want to be poor—to do?”
