  1. A prayer for infrastructure investment<\/a> – “There\u2019s only so long you can try to save money by putting off fixing the roof. Then it starts to get really expensive really fast.”<\/li>\n
  2. Herman Cain Meets Muslim IRL, Has Huge Change of Heart<\/a> – Good for him, and I hope it’s a mindset change that sticks.<\/li>\n
  3.

Worse, not only can it be expensive to do, it can drive folks away.<\/li>\n
  4. How Shadowy Right-Wing Front Groups Engineered Our National Embrace Of Debt Reduction Over Job Creation | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Yes, Justin Bieber is behind this idea — shouldn’t you be, too?<\/li>\n
  5. No wiggle room: Kids must be in car seats starting Aug. 1 – The Denver Post<\/a> – For the local Denver parental units …<\/li>\n
  6. Breaking Down the Lucky Duckies | Mother Jones<\/a> – It’s funny that folks who aren’t so dirt poor are the first to scream, “It’s not FAAAAIIIIRRRRRR …”<\/li>\n
