Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. White House proposal would ease FBI access to records of Internet activity<\/a> – One of the more disappointing aspects of the Obama Administration has been its continued vigorous push for federal authorities to gather private data about you without bothering with demonstrating the need to a judge.<\/li>\n
  2. House GOP leaders: 9\/11 first responders aid bill ‘a massive new entitlement program’ – On Congress – POLITICO.com<\/a> – Ground Zero: sacred enough to demagogue about mosques, but not sacred enough to pay for health care claims from its victims. Nice.<\/li>\n
  3. Iowa GOP Supports Amendment To Strip Obama\u2019s Citizenship Because He Won The Nobel Peace Prize<\/a> – Stay classy, Iowa GOP!<\/li>\n
  4. Troops on DADT: 90% don’t care<\/a> – If the survey is optional, the only possibly valuable datum you’re going to get is the completion rate. And even here, that 90% of the recipients haven’t bothered to respond can be interpreted either as disinterest, acceptance, or that it was a PitA survey to fill out.<\/li>\n
  5. The New Kindle: Smaller, Faster, Cheaper<\/a> – I think Amazon is doing all the right things with the new Kindle — except maintaining their DRM model.<\/li>\n
  6. Should religious beliefs trump secular law?<\/a> – I suspect the outrage at the site was more over WHICH religion’s beliefs were trumping secular law, not over the principle itself. Many activist conservative Christians would be perfectly happy to have the courts exempt them from secular conflicts with their faith.<\/li>\n
  7. The U.S. Economy\u2019s Lost Decade<\/a> – Well done, George!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
