    \n
  1. ANALYSIS: The GOP\u2019s Use Of Frivolous Sex And Porn Amendments To Kill Substantive Bills<\/a> – What a bunch of 3rd-grade sniggering jerks.<\/li>\n
  2. Gingrich: No Hearings Needed, Just Withdraw Kagan\u2019s Nomination; She\u2019s Anti-Military<\/a> – Gingrich works for Fox News as a commentator. The largest shareholder in Murdoch’s News Corp, which owns Fox, is Saudi Arabia. “Saudi money is fine,” right, Newt?<\/li>\n
  3. The myopia of energy production: “Nothing will go wrong” [The World’s Fair]<\/a> – The dangers of oil drilling and of nuclear energy may be less than the dangers of not pursuing them — but engaging in some sort of shell gamee of “oh, there’s no danger at all” only discredits the entire debate.<\/li>\n
  4. Sunday Sacrilege: Daughters of Eve : Pharyngula<\/a> – It is hard to defend Judeo-Christianity from charges of misogyny (such an academic word for hatred, fear, and and contempt regarding women). Yes, it’s been a reflection of culture — but, then, shouldn’t religion be seeking to move beyond the hatred and prejudice of culture? All I can say is that I’m proud to be part of a Christian denomination that’s managed (with much wailing and gnashing of teeth and desertion by thundering conservatives) to recognize women as fellow humans and co-equals in religious matters.<\/li>\n
  5. Why They Took Out ACORN<\/a> – A sad, disgusting, disheartening tale of disenfranchisment in order to retain (or regain) power. (Cf. Arizona today.)<\/li>\n
  6. Karl Rove Thumbs His Nose At RNC, Builds Shadow Republican Party To Evade Finance Limits<\/a> – Thank you, Chief Justice Roberts.<\/li>\n
  7. Why I Support Drawing Muhammad<\/a> – One of our topics from the Podcast.<\/li>\n
  8. Radical Tea Partiers Urge Repeal Of 17th Amendment<\/a> – One could have an interesting conversation on the pros and cons of direct election of US Senators rather than appointment by state legislatures. But, honestly, given the types who are coming out of the woodwork to support repealing the 17th Amendment, I’m ready to reflexively oppose such repeal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
