  1. Believers in American Exceptionalism More Likely to Support Torture<\/a> – When you are convinced you are on God’s side, then anything you do must be right.

  2. Vander Plaats: “Bryan Fisher and AFA Do Not Speak For Me”<\/a> – “… except when they give me a bunch of money for my cause. But only then.”<\/li>\n
  3. Ignoring Petition He Signed, Rep. Dreier Claims GOPers Have \u2018Said All Along\u2019 They\u2019ll Keep Parts Of Health Care<\/a> – David Dreier playing and loose with what he’s previously said? I’m shocked!<\/li>\n
  4. Incoming Labor Committee Chair Says Jobless Benefits Aren\u2019t A Priority: \u2018We Can\u2019t Fund Everything\u2019<\/a> – Apparently the most important thing for folks dependent on unemployment benefits to do is to stop taking them so that the economy can grow enough so that jobs can be created and those people can then get hired — assuming they haven’t starved to death, of course.<\/li>\n
  5. \u201cKnow Where You Stand\u201d History Channel Ads<\/a> – These are quite cool.<\/li>\n
  6. SyFy’s Being Human Might Not Be the Worst Thing Ever<\/a> – Meh. Flashier SFX, more hip music, and just … meh.<\/li>\n
  7. Why did OMG TSA WTF suddenly go viral? – Boing Boing<\/a> – Sadly, I think the essay has a point.<\/li>\n
  8. School Board President Channels Glenn Beck : Dispatches from the Culture Wars<\/a> – But remember how Frightful and Controversial and Suspicious it was when the President wanted to speak to students about working had and staying in school …<\/li>\n
  9. Not Sent From My iPhone<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  10. George Soros Is Everywhere<\/a> – Eek!<\/li>\n
  11. National Geographic’s Photography Contest 2010 – The Big Picture – Boston.com<\/a> – Simply lovely.<\/li>\n
