  1. Carroll: Photo-radar cash cows – The Denver Post<\/a> – If the intent is to slow traffic, then radar traps will be obvious, to affect all traffic going through.

  2. Editorial: At last, an end to “don’t ask” – The Denver Post<\/a> – Amen.<\/li>\n
  3. Parental Control – RLC for September \/ 19 \/ 2011<\/a> – I’m not saying this is true … but I’m not saying it’s not …<\/li>\n
  4. Why The Religious Right Opposes Government Assistance For The Poor<\/a> – Note to Mr French: Jesus didn’t teach that the poor needed to be preached at in order to be helped, that the hungry needed to be get good moral lessons before they were fed, that the thirsty needed to proclaim their repentence before they were provided water. Jesus taught that helping these “least” was a moral obligation to the giver, not on the recipient.<\/li>\n
  5. The first poster that responds to people looking at it<\/a> – That’s … cool. And, of course, disturbing.<\/li>\n
  6. What Mount Rushmore was supposed to look like, before they ran out of funding: admin<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. beetles.jpg<\/a> – When an interviewer asked the J.B.S. Haldane what the study of biology had taught him about God, Haldane replied, “I\u2019m not sure, but He seems to be inordinately fond of beetles.”<\/li>\n
  8. Sept 19, 2011 – Michele Bachmann<\/a> – It would be funnier if it weren’t actually plausible that Bachmann has said these things …<\/li>\n
  9. Israeli Ambassador To U.S. Falsely Claims \u2018The Palestinians Didn\u2019t Come To The Table\u2019 During Settlement Freeze: Ben Armbruster<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. Joe. My. God.: Prop 8 Trial Tapes To Be Released<\/a><\/li>\n
  11. The criminal overuse of “Hallelujah” – Music News: Artists. Songs. Videos – Salon.com<\/a> – (Talking of the Cohen version, not the Handel version.)<\/li>\n
  12. U.S. to build new massive prison in Bagram – Glenn Greenwald – Salon.com<\/a> – Your tax dollars at work.<\/li>\n
  13. News International to pay $4.7 million to settle hacking | Reuters<\/a> – Cheap at twice the price.<\/li>\n
  14. Justice Thomas, Who Thinks Federal Child Labor Laws Are Unconstitutional, Complains About Judicial Activism | ThinkProgress<\/a><\/li>\n
  15. GOP Kingmaker Sheriff Tasks \u2018Cold Case Posse\u2019 With Investigating Obama\u2019s Birth Certificate | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Now here’s a sentence to make your head explode: ‘\u201cThis investigation does not involve politics,\u201d Arpaio told WND.’<\/li>\n
  16. Multi-Millionaire Congressman: \u2018I Don\u2019t Want To Raise My Taxes\u2026Don\u2019t Ask Me\u2019 To Pay More | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Only $400K left after paying off “business and personal expenses”? Crikey! Perhaps he should appeal to his neighbors or his church for assistance.<\/li>\n
  17. Defense.gov News Article: DOD Set for \u2018Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell\u2019 Repeal<\/a> – Good.<\/li>\n
  18. Obama endorses ending one day of mail delivery – The Denver Post<\/a> – I can probably live without Saturday delivery.<\/li>\n
  19. While Lobbying For Huge Tax Giveaways, Corporations Hoard Record Amounts Of Cash Instead Of Hiring | ThinkProgress<\/a> – If the past is any indicator, a foreign tax holiday will go mostly to dividends and bonuses and raises for execs, not for creating jobs (which they could do right now with cash on hand). Oh, and it will result in still more money ferreted away overseas because the companies will assume (justifiably) that another tax holiday will be coming.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
