Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Chuck Norris\u2019s New Project: Fighting Creeping Sharia<\/a> – Remind me why anyone pays attention to Chuck Norris? I mean, I don’t search out Steven Segal or Jean-Claude Van Damm for political or cultural advice, either.<\/li>\n
  2. ThinkProgress \u00bb FLASHBACK: Ronald Reagan Raised Corporate Taxes To Force Tax Dodgers To \u2018Pay Their Fair Share\u2019<\/a> – Obviously Ronald Reagan hated America.<\/li>\n
  3. Hypocritical Freakout over Shari’ah, but Not Biblical Law | Religion Dispatches<\/a> – I’m shocked, shocked to find folks freaking out over Sharia law, but not analogous Biblical law.<\/li>\n
  4. Study: Gay Teen Suicides Higher in Conservative, Republican Areas<\/a> – Sadly, not a surprise.<\/li>\n
  5. Retired Abu Ghraib Overlord Confirms Senate Run<\/a> – It’s certainly “compelling” — when you throw in a few guard dogs and electrodes.<\/li>\n
  6. Former Cheney Aide: Last 100 Years of Progressive Reforms All a Mistake<\/a> – At least she’s being honest about it. I’m kind of hoping 2012 will in fact be a referendum on this, because I believe that most Americans consider this all part of what government should be doing (pesky taxes aside).<\/li>\n
  7. Oracle gives up on OpenOffice after community forks the project<\/a> – This is sad, but mostly sad because OpenOffice was a viable competitor to Microsoft Office, and Oracle completely fumbled the ball on this effort. I’m glad to hear the LibreOffice effort is continuing, but that loses some name- and mind-share.<\/li>\n
  8. Lance Mannion: Onward Christian soldiers, at 24 frames per second<\/a> – Some interesting thoughts on Christian movies and what they say about different strains of Christianity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
