  1. Carrollton-Based Christian P.R. Firm Sues Carrie Prejean in Denton County Court – Dallas News – Unfair Park<\/a> – Maybe she’s hoping they’ll forgive her debts a la the Lord’s Prayer …<\/li>\n
  2. Rick Green’s Nakedly Political Judicial Campaign Vows to Stop Obama’s Socialism<\/a> – Rick Green – Proud to potentially be the only Texas Supreme Court justice who’s never been involved in anything judicial! It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!<\/li>\n
  3. Gay, straight Marines wouldn’t share rooms with don’t ask’ repeal, general says – washingtonpost.com<\/a> – And here I thought Marines were really good at obeying orders. How would General Conway feel about a Marine who didn’t want to bunk with a Marine of a different race? And has he talked with Sgt Maj Kent about that?<\/li>\n
  4. Guest Post: We Have a New START<\/a> – Elections mean things, as the man said. This didn’t happen under Bush, and it almost certainly wouldn’t have happened under McCain. And while it’s not making the world amazingly safer in and of itself, the engagement between the two countries and their negotiators certainly has to count for something.<\/li>\n
  5. Race and Censuses from Around the World<\/a> – “Getcher programs here! Can’t classify your players without a program!”<\/li>\n
  6. Cantor receives an actual threat<\/a> – And, in the interest of defusing any “Well, see, the Dems have nutsos running around threatening Republicans” moral equivalency, note that the loony in question has also previously issued threats regarding Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Reid.<\/li>\n
  7. California Republican returning RNC money after racy club visit \u00ab – Blogs from CNN.com<\/a> – So, presuming he wasn’t a big tipper, who was Erik Brown there with? And who from and why did the RNC sign off on his expense report in the first place? (Heaven knows none of this — this is only the most risque, not the most profligate, expense — would make me want to contribute any money to the RNC, assuming I was ideologically inclined to do so to begin with.)<\/li>\n
  8. The stunning pictures of sleeping insects covered in early morning dew | Mail Online<\/a> – Posted this earlier, but needed to do so again. Beautiful stuff here.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
