Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Just One Thing! – DORK TOWER, Wednesday, January 20, 2011<\/a> – I often ask myself this very question.<\/li>\n
  2. The horror … the horror … – Zits for 1\/21\/2011<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Another Step Forward for LGBT Equality<\/a> – And a fine step it is.<\/li>\n
  4. One Year After Citizens United, Right-Wing Demands Even More Corporate Money and Less Transparency in Politics<\/a> – The Right (or at least the corporate sponsors thereof) continues to push for the best elections money can buy.<\/li>\n
  5. Fact Checker – A judge’s letter on health care and an email gone viral<\/a> – Just because you get it in an Internet email doesn’t mean it’s true. Or true any more, if it ever was. I know some folks will find that shocking, but it’s true. You can trust me about it, because you’re reading me on the Internet.<\/li>\n
  6. The right has fashion police, too?<\/a> – “Please, conservatives, grow up. Let there be a part of you that says, ‘If I’m writing about the color of the First Lady’s clothing, maybe my hatred of the White House has reached an irrational level.'”<\/li>\n
  7. Christie faces heat from anti-Muslim right<\/a> – “At this point, one starts to realize that these [critics on the right] have about as much reverence for American society and the rule of law as the ‘stealth jihadists’ that populate their conspiracy theories.”<\/li>\n
  8. Hensarling fails on so many levels<\/a> – When all you can talk about is your talking points, it’s probably not worth talking.<\/li>\n
  9. Klingenschmitt: DADT Repeal Means Chaplains Can No Longer Perform Gay Exorcisms<\/a> – Actually, should a gay service member come to a military chaplain and ask for a “gay exorcism,” I’m not aware of anything in DADT repeal that would prevent that from happening. Not that I’d expect less than zany and dishonest fearmongering from a guy like this.<\/li>\n
  10. GOP\u2019s State Of The Union Responder Would Set Higher Tax Rates On Middle-Class Than Millionaires<\/a> – Regressive taxation! It’s the only way America can be free!<\/li>\n
  11. Gun Show Attendees Say High-Capacity Gun Clips Aren\u2019t Needed For Self-Defense<\/a> – “If ten rounds of ammunition can\u2019t do the job you probably shouldn\u2019t own a gun. I don\u2019t want to live next to that guy.” On the other hand, I’m now pedantically cringing at the incorrect use of “clip” for “magazine” in this article …<\/li>\n
  12. Refusing To Sit With Democrats, Rep. Broun Warns Of Obama Spewing \u2018Venom\u2019 At State Of The Union<\/a> – Another example of the the Republican Victim Complex.<\/li>\n
  13. The Internet Facts of Life as Explained by a 12-Year-Old [Humor]<\/a> – This one’s for the ‘rents. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  14. Ten Commandments Go Up in Giles County (Virginia) Schools<\/a> – Count me as a Christian who thinks it highly improper for the Ten Commandments to be hanging in a school. (And an American who thinks it’s highly improper for an American flag to be on display in a church, for that matter.)<\/li>\n
  15. Get Ready For $4-A-Gallon Gas<\/a> – Cue demands by the GOP and the Oil Barons that the US add a paltry amount of domestic oil (doing little to reduce prices) in 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 …<\/li>\n
  16. The GOP’s war against the poor and sick – How the World Works – Salon.com<\/a> – Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?<\/li>\n
  17. Tea Partyers don’t actually care about “liberty” – War Room – Salon.com<\/a> – “If ending the disastrous, expensive, immoral and racist drug war gets booed at a Tea Party rally in liberty-loving New Mexico, there is absolutely nothing remotely libertarian about the movement besides a visceral hatred of taxes and the conviction that undeserving Others are benefiting from them.” I’d say that sums the movement up pretty well.<\/li>\n
  18. Shot congresswoman’s GOP foe: Can I run again yet? – War Room – Salon.com<\/a> – Stay class, Jesse!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
