Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. TOM THE DANCING BUG: Judge Scalia Spans the Time\/Space Continuum!<\/a> – Remember, it’s all about balls and strikes! Just like the Founding Fathers would have played!<\/li>\n
  2. The unintended consequences of fixing non-existent problems<\/a> – Have to wonder whether some of the churches cheering on the House GOP’s anti-abortion crusade have considered the potential impacts of the mechanisms used on their own ministries and funding.<\/li>\n
  3. Rep. Keith Ellison Rips The \u2018Republican No Jobs Agenda\u2019<\/a> – The heart of the Republican “No Jobs Agenda” is that if taxes are cut, cut, cut, businesses will profit, and that will satisfy both their financial overlords and, with any luck, generate the jobs they campaigned for. Except, of course, a lot of companies have figured out ways to work with a lot fewer domestic US employees, and a lot of those financial overlords are now multinational firms, so growing the bottom line doesn’t necessarily mean much for America’s unemployed. “So be it.”<\/li>\n
  4. Abraham Lincoln, Inflationist – NYTimes.com<\/a> – One of the disadvantages the GOP has with letting the inmates run the asylum is that … well, it means the inmates really are running the asylum.<\/li>\n
  5. Deadly Error Correction – NYTimes.com<\/a> – A zany (but deadly) case of AutoCorrect …<\/li>\n
  6. Florida’s Scott joins the anti-rail crusade<\/a> – The triumph of partisan politics over actual leadership.<\/li>\n
  7. The limits of being ‘pro-family’<\/a> – It’s okay for US to be pro-family … but not for folks like THEM!<\/li>\n
  8. Not all entitlements are created equal<\/a> – Drawing some important distinctions between Social Security and Medicare\/Medicaid.<\/li>\n
  9. Bryan Fischer’s Genocide Apologetics<\/a> – A nice connecting of dots. Is Fischer actually arguing for the conquest and, if need be, extermination of Muslims? Yeah, that seems beyond the Pale … but so are his crazy-ass arguments about Native Americans deserving their conquest and extermination.<\/li>\n
  10. NationalJournal.com – Democrats Want Pentagon out of NASCAR – Wednesday, February 16, 2011<\/a> – Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’d like to see this kind of crap cut before we slash home heating assistance to the poor. Jeez.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
