Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. What Are We Lying To Our Children About? | The Onion<\/a> – Heh.<\/li>\n
  2. Joe. My. God.: Quote Of The Day – Peter Sprigg<\/a> – What I don’t understand is the idea that folks who support gay marriage rights are “ready to throw man-woman marriage and mother-father households on the ash heap of history.” It’s a false dilemma, and confirms the speaker as either a dolt or an intentional liar.<\/li>\n
  3. Anthony Weiner Resigns, Prostitute Enthusiast David Vitter Continues To Be Embraced By GOP Leadership | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Skanky sex scandals for me, but not for thee!<\/li>\n
  4. Norquist Slams GOPers For Voting To End Ethanol Subsidies: You \u2018Popped Your Cherry\u2019 On Tax Hikes | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Because ending a tax subsidy = raising taxes (apparently), which is, of course, The Sign of the Devil.<\/li>\n
  5. Tumblr Now Has More Blogs Than WordPress.com<\/a> – Interesting, but not that interesting. It leaves off self-hosted WordPress sites, for one thing. While I’m not fond of Tumblr’s closed comment system (the “social” aspect of the site), if it’s getting people out there posting online and outside of Facebook, I’m in favor of it.<\/li>\n
  6. Four Minutes of Hate: The Naked Bigotry Of The AFA’s Bryan Fischer<\/a> – Bryan Fischer: Dolt’s Greatest Hits. And yet this guy is feted by GOP candidates, pundits, and politicians. They appear on his show, they appear on stage with him, they mouth his (marginally less controversial) talking points. It would be appalling if not so tragic and infuriating.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
