  1. Moment of Silence Not Good Enough for Exeter Union High School Christians<\/a> – “These people are pathetic. They could easily have prayed before the ceremony. Or in their minds during the ceremony. But they don\u2019t care about that. It\u2019s not about their relationship with their god. It\u2019s about the show. They don\u2019t just want to pray. They want to pray out loud and they want to make sure everyone hears it.” Or, as Jesus put it, “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.”<\/li>\n
  2. One year later: Wave holds promise, needs killer client<\/a> – There’s a lot of potentially coolness with Wave. Here’s hoping that someone comes up with a very cool application for it.<\/li>\n
  3. Palin Gets It Wrong About Thomas; Has Nixon\u2019s \u201cJew Counter\u201d As Top Aide<\/a> – Like anyone expects Palin to be consistent, rational, or fair?<\/li>\n
  4. Rand Paul talks through, not to, the press<\/a> – “Oh, I see. Confused right-wing activist Rand Paul is similar to MLK and Frederick Douglass, except Paul opposes the Civil Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act, because private segregation is preferable to government intervention.”<\/li>\n
  5. Making enemies of friends<\/a> – Well, we all know that ISLAM = EVIL, so any country that even smacks of Islam is, obviously, an enemy of Israel, the US, and God.<\/li>\n
  6. Wonk Room \u00bb Anatomy Of A Smear: From The Federalist Society, To CBS, To Jeff Sessions<\/a> – I keep finding it ironic that the Right is so anti-Kagan, given the number of the Left who are not particularly fond of her.<\/li>\n
  7. More proof that if you are a big fat corporation you can do whatever you want and pretty much get away with it [Greg Laden’s Blog]<\/a> – This sort of thing is the best kind off reason to hope that there is divine justice.<\/li>\n
  8. BBC – Torchwood – Official Torchwood Children Of Earth site<\/a> – Glad to hear it’s coming back, though less wowed by the alliance with Starz, or the use of more US\/world settings. How do we know something’s really an underground complex when it doesn’t look like the basement of BBC Wales?<\/li>\n
  9. Dr Demento ends his radio show – Story – Entertainment – 3 News<\/a> – Sorry to hear this. The man had a huge influence over the world of weird, offbeat, novelty, and satirical music.<\/li>\n
  10. Gary Rivlin: Portrait of a Subprime Lender: Allan Jones, Payday King<\/a> – Another future candidate for the torches and pitchforks crowd.<\/li>\n
  11. FreedomWorks CEO Goes To Bat For BP, Calls Oil Spill \u2018A Natural Disaster\u2019<\/a> – Um, since when is an oil well blowing out a “natural” disaster?<\/li>\n
  12. Republican councilman behind push to whiten children\u2019s faces on an Arizona mural is fired by local radio station.<\/a> – Well, some good has come from some evil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
