Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Barton: Gay Rights Are “Impossible,” People Are Poor Because They’re Not Religious<\/a> – David Barton is a dolt.<\/li>\n
  2. NAR Doesn’t Want Theocracy, Just The Establishment Of God’s Kingdom On Earth<\/a> – I’m really trying to figure out the distinction here. What Wagner seems to be arguing is that if the folks in charge of the schools and business and government and families and the media, etc., were all about being Good, Godly, Jesus-loving people who opposed justice, poverty, racism, crime, etc., then all would be well. Which is very nice, but it sure seems the Dominionists spend more time bashing gays and atheists than fighting poverty and war. Can’t they teach and act on those lessons before they take over the world?<\/li>\n
  3. Grow a pair (of fangs): Thank goodness for horrible, disgusting, merciless vampires | PopWatch | EW.com<\/a> – Hell to the yeah.<\/li>\n
  4. Race and Conservative Nostalgia | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Yglesias is incorrect only insofar as I think it’s not just a yearning for the old days of white privilege, but the old days of Christian privilege, male privilege, straight privilege, etc.<\/li>\n
  5. 3 men convicted in 1993 Cub Scout slayings go free – The Denver Post<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Tom Coburn: America Was Better Off Before Medicare | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Somehow I suspect that Tom Coburn isn’t dependent on Medicare (or doctors taking chickens for payment).<\/li>\n
  7. 180,000 Texans To Lose Access To Cancer Screenings, Contraception As A Result Of Perry Policy | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Wasn’t Herman Cain just complaining about how he’d be dead of cancer under ObamaCare? How many people, without access to cancer screening thanks to Gov. Perry, will, themselves be dead of cancer?<\/li>\n
  8. Herman Cain: I Would \u2018Be Dead\u2019 From Cancer Under ObamaCare | ThinkProgress<\/a> – As opposed to the people who “are dead” because they didn’t have insurance, couldn’t afford regular checkups, and relied on the ER as their “doctor.”<\/li>\n
  9. NYT’s Issa story under scrutiny – POLITICO.com Print View<\/a> – \u201cIt feels to me, to be frank, that the discussion of a very sophisticated and nuanced story has been shifted to what the story did not say, rather than what it did say. What it did say is that Mr. Issa is doing something rare among members of Congress by actively leading a business empire and that this raises questions that are rarely confronted. I think that is a very, very legitimate issue to explore in the pages of the paper.\u201d<\/li>\n
  10. Superfast US military plane reaches Mach 20 speed, then crashes \u2013 Boing Boing<\/a> – Cool.<\/li>\n
  11. Major Spoiler Alert<\/a> – I would never have expected to see that!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
