Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Easter<\/a> – It was nice having De over, and Ray’s always a great addition to the Great Easter Egg Hunt.<\/li>\n
  2. Allen West: Liberal Women Are \u2018Neutering American Men\u2019<\/a> – Funny, my liberal woman makes me feel anything BUT a neuter.<\/li>\n
  3. A big shakeup in the DOMA defense<\/a> – Law firms are certainly within their rights to decide whether or not to take certain cases, or even to change their minds after a time. This is not a “To Kill a Mockingbird” attempt to save an innocent whom everyone else has abandoned. This is defense of a political policy, which may appeal on principle — but, then, it’s not being done out of a noble sense of “defending an unpopular position,” either.<\/li>\n
  4. Even for Fox, a cheap attack<\/a> – Stay classy (or at least truth-loving), Fox News! You really do justify that whole “Faux News” label sometimes.<\/li>\n
  5. Define ‘peacetime’<\/a> – I see Mitt is going to run on the “reality-challenged” ticket.<\/li>\n
  6. Mitt Romney Haunted By Past Of Trying To Help Uninsured Sick People | The Onion<\/a> – Once again, the Onion is funniest (and saddest) when it’s closest to the truth.<\/li>\n
  7. RI State Rep. Who Joked Of Pot-Smoking Immigrants Arrested On DUI Charge And Marijuana Possession<\/a> – HA-HA! [\/nelsonlaugh]<\/li>\n
  8. Terry Jones goes free on $1 bond after jailing; judge bars him from mosque for 3 years | Detroit Free Press | freep.com<\/a> – Terry Jones is a nutcase, but he deserves the same constitutional rights to be a nutcase as anyone else. (And, for all you on the Right out there — note that the ACLU is just as vehement as anyone else in supporting Jones’ First Amendment rights here.)<\/li>\n
  9. Fischer Brings the Crazy, Part…Infinity : Dispatches from the Culture Wars<\/a> – Already posted about this one, but always fun to see someone else take it on (more succinctly).<\/li>\n
  10. Robertson: Left Backs Abortion Rights To Make Straight Women More Like Lesbians<\/a> – I’m afraid Pat Robertson lost capacity for coherent thought on this matter (if not most matters) a decade or two ago.<\/li>\n
  11. Rep. Chris Gibson Says \u2018Illegal\u2019 Immigrants Not Paying Taxes, Town Hall Attendee Asks: \u2018You Mean Like GE?!\u2019: Zaid Jilani<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
