Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. David Barton Is Not A Historian<\/a> – The Founders were all over the map on pretty much everything; the desire by any to cubbyhole them in a black-or-white, clear and un-nuanced position on anything complex is a fool’s errand — or an errand by folks who want to fool others.<\/li>\n
  2. Open Letter to DC Comics, Part 3: Marketing Fail, Or Why Not Go After Truly New Readers? | GeekDad | Wired.com<\/a> – Tons of truth here about things they’re doing wrong, and I have very little doubt that DC will pay no attention.<\/li>\n
  3. Tea Party Nation Condemns “Non-European” Immigration<\/a> – Stay classy, Tea Partiers! Happy Independence Day!<\/li>\n
  4. Quick update on the Podcast.<\/a> – Had a lot of fun on the Podcast, too, talking everything from politics to Buddhism to TV to patriotism to … well, pretty much anything our brains leapt to based on the previous sentence uttered. Looking forward to hearing the finished results (which I’ll crosspost on my blog, of course).<\/li>\n
  5. Liberty Counsel Wants You To Pray For Me And Other Liberals<\/a> – I’ll tell you what — I have no problem with anyone praying for me to have discernment and wisdom, so long as they also pray, as earnestly and honestly, for themselves to have the same.<\/li>\n
  6. It\u2019s Not Discretionary Spending, Stupid<\/a> – “What has changed in the past decade is a huge increase in spending on defense and Medicare and a huge decrease in tax revenues. If we need a solution to the problem of deficits, then there really only should be three things on the table: defense, Medicare, and taxes. And all three should be part of that solution.”<\/li>\n
  7. Joe. My. God.: Bishops Denounce RI Civil Unions<\/a> – Civil unions “directly violate the principles of justice”? You keep using that word, “justice.” I don’t think it means what you think it means.<\/li>\n
  8. Kansas To Pursue Strict Abortion Licensing Regulations Despite Court Injunction: Igor Volsky<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. How the Media Gets It Wrong on Climate Change: The False, the Confused and the Mendacious: Climate Guest Blogger<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. 10 Reasons why Google will buy Research In Motion | CrackBerry.com<\/a> – An interesting idea — but most likely (if it were to happen) for the patent portfolio (sadly).<\/li>\n
  11. America\u2019s Pride: hahanu<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. Odd Color Names Offer a Primer in Marketing – NYTimes.com<\/a> – Here’s hoping that this is a marketing trend that will fail, miserably.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
