Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Repealing DADT = Denying Spiritual Comfort to Dying Soldiers<\/a> – Is there anything in the introductory paragraph’s quotes that makes any coherent sense? I couldn’t find any.<\/li>\n
  2. Heritage Foundation on Money and Morals<\/a> – The social conservative movement is desperately trying to co-opt the financial conservative movement because they know the demographic tides are not moving in their favor.<\/li>\n
  3. Mohler: Christians Who Practice Yoga Are Endangering Their Spiritual Welfare<\/a> – (1) Most practitioners of yoga I know treat it as a physical exercise, not a spiritual one. (2) The idea of “a spiritual discipline by which the adherent is trained to use the body as a vehicle for achieving consciousness of the divine” has a long and honorable tradition in Christianity, it seems to me, mostly (though not solely) in the monastic orders.<\/li>\n
  4. Obama To Hedge Fund Manager Who Complains Of Being \u2018Whacked\u2019: \u2018Most Folks On Main Street\u2019 Feel Beat Up<\/a> – Cry me a river, guys.<\/li>\n
  5. DeMint Credits Fox News With Recent Tea Party Victories<\/a> – Fairly Unbalanced.<\/li>\n
  6. Scalia Says Constitution Does Not Prevent Gender Discrimination<\/a> – There’s good reason to believe that at least 4 justices would be willing to accept this idea. But, of course, NON-activist conservatives would NEVER overthrow a years and years of Supreme Court rules … right?<\/li>\n
  7. Even fiscal conservatives agree: Bush tax cuts were ‘good for nothing.’ – CSMonitor.com<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. FBI Placed Left-Wing Activists On Terrorism Watch List Without Cause<\/a> – But remember — giving unchecked and unmonitored power to federal law enforcement and anti-terrorism agencies in this country is (a) the only way to be safe, and (b) putting that power into freedom-loving professionals who never make errors or allow concerns other than the strict love of justice to color their actions.<\/li>\n
  9. Knights Of Columbus Donate More To Fight Gay Marriage Than Fight Hunger<\/a> – Well, I guess which of Jesus priorities they consider most important. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, keep them darned gays from marrying, shelter the homeless …<\/li>\n
  10. 60 Plus Association – SourceWatch<\/a> – Ah, I love the smell of Astroturf in the morning …<\/li>\n
  11. Pity the Poor Couple Who Make $450,000 Per Year (Yet Another Failure of Our ‘Elite’ Educational System) [Mike the Mad Biologist]<\/a> – Wow. Would that I had Prof. Henderson’s money woes. Actually, I’m just as happy I don’t — I don’t have a half a million dollars in school loans, and I didn’t then choose to buy a lovely house in a high-priced neighborhood. Prof. Henderson’s problems seem at least somewhat of his own making.<\/li>\n
  12. Kyle Fitzgerald exits the Old Blinking Light, but has a new restaurant in the works – Denver Restaurants and Dining – Cafe Society<\/a> – Very sorry to see Kyle go — but looking forward to his new restaurant in Littleton.<\/li>\n
  13. Adaptive Traffic Lights Could Achieve \u2018The Green Wave\u2019<\/a> – We now have the computational and networking infrastructure to make this work. It’s a more complex system, therefore more prone to glitches — but it sounds like a promising approach.<\/li>\n
  14. Scalia: Constitution Does Not Protect Women, Gays from Discrimination<\/a> – But that is, of course, not an “activist” interpretation. Of course, the 14th Amendment doesn’t explicitly call out race — but Justice Scalia knows what was meant<\/b>, thus, as an originalist, he seems okay with denying due process and equal protection for anyone on any basis other than race (maybe ethnicity, but age and religion would seem to be dubious, and, as stated, gender and sexual orientation are certainly not covered). Gee, remember the days when SCOTUS nominees were unanimously approved?<\/li>\n
  15. Race and ethnicity: Denver | Flickr – Photo Sharing!<\/a> – Fascinating.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
