Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Carroll: Photo-radar cash cows – The Denver Post – If the intent is to slow traffic, then radar traps will be obvious, to affect all traffic going through. If the intent is to raise revenue, then radar traps will be hidden, to maximize the number caught. It’s pretty much that simple.
- Editorial: At last, an end to “don’t ask” – The Denver Post – Amen.
- Parental Control – RLC for September / 19 / 2011 – I’m not saying this is true … but I’m not saying it’s not …
- Why The Religious Right Opposes Government Assistance For The Poor – Note to Mr French: Jesus didn’t teach that the poor needed to be preached at in order to be helped, that the hungry needed to be get good moral lessons before they were fed, that the thirsty needed to proclaim their repentence before they were provided water. Jesus taught that helping these “least” was a moral obligation to the giver, not on the recipient.
- The first poster that responds to people looking at it – That’s … cool. And, of course, disturbing.
- What Mount Rushmore was supposed to look like, before they ran out of funding: admin
- beetles.jpg – When an interviewer asked the J.B.S. Haldane what the study of biology had taught him about God, Haldane replied, “I’m not sure, but He seems to be inordinately fond of beetles.”
- Sept 19, 2011 – Michele Bachmann – It would be funnier if it weren’t actually plausible that Bachmann has said these things …

- Joe. My. God.: Prop 8 Trial Tapes To Be Released

- News International to pay $4.7 million to settle hacking | Reuters – Cheap at twice the price.
- Justice Thomas, Who Thinks Federal Child Labor Laws Are Unconstitutional, Complains About Judicial Activism | ThinkProgress
- GOP Kingmaker Sheriff Tasks ‘Cold Case Posse’ With Investigating Obama’s Birth Certificate | ThinkProgress – Now here’s a sentence to make your head explode: ‘“This investigation does not involve politics,” Arpaio told WND.’
- Multi-Millionaire Congressman: ‘I Don’t Want To Raise My Taxes…Don’t Ask Me’ To Pay More | ThinkProgress – Only $400K left after paying off “business and personal expenses”? Crikey! Perhaps he should appeal to his neighbors or his church for assistance.
- Defense.gov News Article: DOD Set for ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Repeal – Good.
- Obama endorses ending one day of mail delivery – The Denver Post – I can probably live without Saturday delivery.
- While Lobbying For Huge Tax Giveaways, Corporations Hoard Record Amounts Of Cash Instead Of Hiring | ThinkProgress – If the past is any indicator, a foreign tax holiday will go mostly to dividends and bonuses and raises for execs, not for creating jobs (which they could do right now with cash on hand). Oh, and it will result in still more money ferreted away overseas because the companies will assume (justifiably) that another tax holiday will be coming.
