Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Federal Judge Bars Enforcement Of Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell<\/a> – Good.<\/li>\n
  2. Landrieu Will Not Lift Hold On Budget Director Despite End Of Drilling Moratorium<\/a> – What a jerk.<\/li>\n
  3. There’s never a shortage of smarm among evangelicals : Pharyngula<\/a> – “I don’t (nor do the majority of confessing Evangelicals) believe homosexuality to be abhorrent because my ‘religion says so.’ Rather, I believe it to be so because God says so.” Must be nice to know that it’s not your “religion” but God directly on the hot line. Guess all those other folks who are equally confident that God is “saying so” about something that’s different from what you’re hearing must be … well, hearing demons, I guess.<\/li>\n
  4. A Telling Omission From Dan Coats<\/a> – “And finally, I\u2019m really sick of the ‘forcing through’ argument. I\u2019m sorry, but I seem to recall the issue of health care reform being a major issue in the 2008 election, being on the front burner of the discussion for nearly a year, being at the heart of contentious town hall debates in the summer of 2009, and then after the Democrats finally got tired of Republican obstructionism, being the subject of democratic votes in Congress. Debating issues for a year and then voting on them is not ‘forcing through’ a policy; rather, it is letting the democratic process work. Or, I guess we could say that the Bush tax cuts were forced through, too.” Amen.<\/li>\n

  6. NaNoWriMo Blues<\/a> – I’m planning on doing NaNoWriMo this year (to complete the novel I started last year). I’ve been shrinking away from discussing it too much, or making plans, or hooking up with other WriMos. That’ll come soon …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
