Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- California Lawmaker Receives Racist Death Threat Warning ‘Rush Limbaugh Will Kick Your Ch-nk Ass’ – But, of course, Rush has no responsibility for how lunatics (or folks who seem to be lunatics) respond to his incitement. Of course.
