Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Fischer Plays The Victim, Decries Romney’s Rude and Insulting Attack On Him<\/a> – Amusing — because when Bryan Fischer talks about tacky, impolite and rude language that completely and utterly lacks class, he speaks as an expert.<\/li>\n
  2. Protesting in America: admin<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Bryan Fischer Pleads Ignorance About His “Poisonous Language” | Right Wing Watch<\/a> – Sorry, Bryan — playing the victim just doesn’t cut it.<\/li>\n
  4. Rep. Buck McKeon: No Defense Bill Unless It Bans Same-Sex Marriages By Military Chaplains | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Well, next time someone talks about who’s being supportive of the military, we know a person to point at in the negative.<\/li>\n
  5. Former Ex-Gay Ministry Leader Comes Out, Recants Previous Teachings | ThinkProgress<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Cagle Post \u00bb Christian Heaven for Buddhist, Steve Jobs<\/a> – Some of these (and there are many others on the web) can be seen as simple cultural shorthand, and others as humorous jokes. On the other hand, imagine the reaction in some quarters about a cartoon of a dead Christian showing in a Muslim heaven, or circling around again on the Wheel of Life, or some other non-Christian afterlife setting.<\/li>\n
  7. Georgia Considers Replacing Firefighters With Free Prison Laborers | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Yes, this is an insane idea with all sorts of crazy aspects (e.g., would you welcome fire fighters into your house if you knew some of them were prison inmates?) … but at least IT DOESN’T RAISE TAXES, SO IT’S THE AMERICAN WAY!<\/li>\n
  8. Robert Jeffress Has a Lot of Nerve | Religion Dispatches<\/a> – More on the silliness of defining Who Is a True Christian(TM).<\/li>\n
  9. Colorado Supreme Court could take on medical-marijuana appeal – The Denver Post<\/a> – It seems to me that if it is not criminal to possess legally obtained marijuana for medical purposes, then unless an employer can demonstrate the employee’s performance is impaired, it should not be grounds for firing.<\/li>\n
  10. How texting is changing the world [infographic] – Holy Kaw!<\/a> – Cool.<\/li>\n
  11. Futurity.org \u00bb Immunity \u2018trick\u2019 turns off peanut allergy<\/a> – Cool!<\/li>\n
  12. Eric Cantor Explains the Difference Between the Tea Party and the Occupiers<\/a> – Short Cantor: “Because the OWS is against Other Americans, while the Tea Party is against THE EVIL GOVERNMENT!!!!!!”<\/li>\n
  13. US ties Iran to plot to assassinate Saudi diplomat – The Denver Post<\/a> – (1) Yikes! (2) How dare another country stage an assassination on US soil?! We’d never — um … (3) Article followed by one comment saying it’s all a Obama hoax to bolster his ratings, and the another saying that the US must<\/b> immediately declare war on Iran. sigh<\/b><\/li>\n
  14. The Fox Poll on OWS<\/a> – And, yes, Internet polls are freaking useless. But this it’s always fun to see something like this.<\/li>\n
  15. Why Believe In Keynesian Models? – NYTimes.com<\/a> – “Because they work.”<\/li>\n
  16. A Peek Inside A Christian Right Anti-Gay Strategy Session<\/a> – If “Marriage is a ‘pre-political’ institution, and therefore not a civil right,” could not the same be said for race (which obviously is “pre-political”) or, for that matter, religion? Or perhaps some would like to argue that racial equality and religious freedom are not civil rights, either.<\/li>\n
  17. Before Netscape: the forgotten Web browsers of the early 1990s<\/a> – I remember using Mosaic. Plus, of course, some of the WWW alternatives, such as Gopher and Veronica. Good times …<\/li>\n
  18. Microsoft finds 64 billion fewer spam messages per month after botnet takedowns<\/a> – Spam delenda est!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
