  1. Infographic: How Dangerous Is a Zombie?<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Towey\u2019s Hypocritical Hooey: Bush \u2018Faith Czar\u2019 Complains About Politicization Of White House Faith-Based Office \u00ab The Wall of Separation<\/a> – Sounds like still more great reasons to scrap the whole “Faith-Based” shtick at the federal level. Everyone is always going to bitch that it’s being politicized in the “wrong” way. Lets depoliticize faith altogether, then.<\/li>\n
  3. Opponents Of Tennessee Mosque Argue That Islam Isn\u2019t A Religion But Rather A Seditious Political Movement<\/a> – The problem is, I think, that too many Christianists cannot, by definition, understand the separation of church and state. Just as they seek to dominate the political process and infuse the laws of the land with their religious doctrine, they assume that everyone else is out to do the same. And it’s a zero sum game to them, so any “advances” to the Muslim team are seen as “losses” to their side.<\/li>\n
  4. World’s First Flying Ornithopter: noreply@blogger.com (Damn Cool Pics)<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. 10 Common Misconceptions Dispelled: noreply@blogger.com (Damn Cool Pics)<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. The Real Issue With Meg Whitman: She Didn\u2019t Do The Right Thing<\/a> – Compassionate conservativsm at its least.<\/li>\n
  7. Sharron Angle Tries To Make Deal To Get Tea Party Candidate Out Of NV Senate Race; Blasts GOP<\/a> – And let me tell you how thrilled I am that Sharron Angle is including Ken Buck as one of her peer whackos she hopes to join in DC next year. Ugh.<\/li>\n
  8. Larry Kudlow needs a hug<\/a> – Obama could walk on water and some folks would complain he was showing disrespect to our Olympic swim champions.<\/li>\n
  9. Tennessee County\u2019s Subscription-Based Firefighters Watch As Family Home Burns Down<\/a> – “Am I my brother’s policy holder?”<\/li>\n
  10. IEEE Spectrum: Omniwheels<\/a> – So … cool …<\/li>\n
  11. Where\u2019s Muhammad? Not in the papers!<\/a> – sigh<\/b><\/li>\n
  12. The Aftermath of Big Sh-tpile and the Slow-Motion Collapse of the Rule of Law : Mike the Mad Biologist<\/a> – But … but … but … aren’t conservatives always telling us that the Numero Uno Sign of Freedom is the sanctity of property ownership? Why aren’t we seeing Tea Partiers protesting outside of Judge Colton’s courtroom, or the banks he’s “streamlining” justice for?<\/li>\n
  13. China Not That Excited By Overpriced Appliances that Do What Sun Does Anyway [Casaubon’s Book]<\/a> – Were it not verboten per local HOA rules, we would probably line dry more clothes. On the other hand (having just done the weekly laundry), it’s a bit more than just “use a laundry rack” or the shower rack will handle, particularly in the winter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
