Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. \u2018Are You Guys Eventually Going To Disclose?\u2019 Chamber Responds Bluntly, \u2018No!\u2019<\/a> – I’d very much welcome an investigation into this. It will be too late for this election cycle, but …<\/li>\n
  2. News Corporation Shareholders Rebel Against Company\u2019s Political Donations<\/a> – I’d loooove to see Murdoch take some serious heat over this.<\/li>\n
  3. Belgian archbishop represents the church’s love<\/a> – Dear Abp. Leonard: There is a difference between not pulling your punches and punching a sick person in the face. Even if one ascribes AIDS to some sort of “immanent justice” regarding homosexuality, it doesn’t at all address (a) gays who don’t get AIDS, (b) straights who get AIDS, (c) people who get AIDS through sexual contact they thought was safe\/legal\/moral (the wife of a man who got it from a prostitute, for example), (d) people who get AIDS from non-sexual causes (tainted blood in transfusions, for example). Until you can account for those conditions, I suggest you refrain from blithely ascribing God’s “immanent justice” to a group of the population.<\/li>\n
  4. Jonathan Chait: If Republicans Win The House They\u2019ll Impeach Obama<\/a> – I have no doubt. The GOP has made it clear they will use any and all governmental tools at their disposal to thwart the Democrats and exercise whatever power they can, no matter the cost to the country.<\/li>\n
  5. Public Employees and Elections: A Conflict of Interest? – By Pat Sajak – The Corner – National Review Online<\/a> – No more than “Property Owners and Elections” or “School Parents and Elections” or “Taxpaers and Elections” or “Citizens and Elections” are a conflict of interest, Pat. How asinine (about as much so as the majority of the comments, most of which are, “Yeah, and no unionization of public employees, either, hyuk, ’cause they’re all stupidheads eating from the taxpayer’s trough!”).<\/li>\n
  6. Muslims and Martians : Dispatches from the Culture Wars<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. NPR staff told to stay away from Colbert, Stewart rallies if not covering them<\/a> – Good Lord — it’s like they’re trying to abide by professional journalistic standards or something. Compare and contrast to Fox’s talking heads cavorting around at Tea Party and other conservative events as supporters and participants.<\/li>\n
  8. Communicating with Academica – SMBC October 14, 2010<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
