  1. Al Mohler on Adam and Eve vs. The Facts<\/a> – A nice examination of skepticism vs denialism.<\/li>\n
  2. Democratic Dolchsto\u00dflegende by David Atkins<\/a> – I got a call today from the Obama 2012 campaign, which started with thanking me for my support and invoking Karl Rove to trigger my fear response. And I cut off the nice lady and said, “I’m not giving anything right now, thank you,” and hung up. I have little doubt that, as things presently stand, I’ll be voting for Obama next year, and I’ll probably make contributions — perhaps even to the presidential campaign. But I also don’t mind letting the Obama campaign know that I’m not just automatically forking over the moolah and support just yet, and they can’t just assume my devotion to the cause.<\/li>\n
  3. KOA 2011\u201cTIME LAPSE\u201d\u00a0|\u00a0Don’t Panik!<\/a> – If you always were wondering about that big campout we go on each June … well, here’s a better rendition than all of my posts combined. Thanks, Mark!<\/li>\n
  4. United Nations Affirms the Human Right to Blaspheme | Politics | Religion Dispatches<\/a> – If God is angered by blasphemy, God has the prerogative to punish it, not the state.<\/li>\n
  5. Joe. My. God.: TX Gov. Rick Perry: Social Security And Medicare Are Totally Unconstitutional<\/a> – And here’s the man who wants to be President so he can follow up on just that belief.<\/li>\n
  6. Fischer: God Only Allows A Woman To Be President As A Last Resort<\/a> – Hmmm. Will anyone ask Bachman or Palin what they think about that?<\/li>\n
  7. Can’t Emphasize This Enough<\/a> – “The movement conservatives have all come out of the closet – even the ones on the federal bench. They smell a final victory: a return to Gilded Age America.” Which is great, if you’re one the lucky fractional percent who have the gilt.<\/li>\n
  8. Microsoft Awarded With Patent For Sliding Mobile Device. Wait, What?<\/a> – What the –?<\/li>\n
