Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Paul Ryan and Ayn Rand: A Love Affair Against the Common Good – One would think the conflict between Rand and Christianity would get as much play on the Right as the love affair between Rand and unfettered Capitalism. It’s telling which aspect of Rand makes the GOP go ga-ga.
- Robert Reich (Why We Must Raise Taxes on the Rich) – “If the rich were taxed at the same rates they were half a century ago, they’d be paying in over $350 billion more this year alone, which translates into trillions over the next decade. That’s enough to accomplish everything the nation needs while also reducing future deficits” But … but … that would make them fractionally less rich!
- Boehner abandons calls for an ‘adult’ moment – Why should he? He knows Obama will buckle and give him everything he asks for.
- Free Samples – Ah — Grazing at Costco for lunch …
- Trump Insists Obama’s Grandparents Planted His Birth Announcement To Obtain Welfare Benefits – Why the heck are people listening to this bozo?
- ThinkProgress » Utah Republicans Cut Unemployment Insurance As ‘Motivation For People To Get Back To Work’ – Oooh, yeah, livin’ high on the hog at $290 a week. Dadgummed hobo parasites!
- It Is Time For the AFA To Take Responsibility For Fischer’s Bigotry – Yeah, good luck there.
- Joyner Falsely Claims “Bolshevik” Means “Minority” When It Actually Means “Majority” – Aside from being completely wrong, my point was correct!
- Fischer Goes Too Far…Again: AFA Removes And Edits Post Demanding Immigrants “Convert To Christianity” – I’m not sure which is more amusing — that the AFA yanked the column, or that Fischer re-wrote it afterward.
- Norton Disables Itself After One Year – Wow! If it’s a way to automatically get rid of Symantec software without reformatting your machine, it might even be worth it. (Side note: Way to go, Symantec, in driving still more people to Microsoft’s free AV solution.)
- Why boys wear blue and girls wear pink – Fortunately (I think), Kay has never been a “pink” girl. Purple early on, more blacks and greens, in fact.
- Idaho’s Republican Legislature Gives Their Own GOP $100,000 For Suing Them – Stay classy, Idaho GOP!
- They shot a few hostages – SIGH
- REPORT: U.S. Military Spending Has Almost Doubled Since 2001 – Now, granted, we’ve been fighting two wars during that period — but, damn, want to wonder why we’ve got such budget problems? There’s a huge part of the reason right there.
- Chicken Fat: SUNDAY FUNNIES – MAD #8 – BAT BOY – For those who enjoyed the “Bat Boy & Rubin!” ep of Batman: Brave & the Bold — here’s the Mad Magazine parody that was the inspiration.
- In Budget Battle, Boehner, GOP Prove House Isn’t Powerless After All – “Boehner shows it is only powerless when controlled by Democrats.”
