Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Bill Donohue Condemns Jeffress As A “Poster Boy For Hatred”<\/a> – And when Bill Donohue talks about people being “a poster boy for hatred, not Christianity,” he’s got the experience to back up that claim!<\/li>\n
  2. Not Just The \u201853 %\u2019: The Working Poor Pay More Of Their Income In State And Local Taxes Than The Rich In 49 States | ThinkProgress<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. mental_floss Blog \u00bb Why Do We Call the President\u2019s Wife \u201cFirst Lady\u201d?<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. FBI agent and federal prosecutor take Ferrari for joyride and total it; owner out of luck<\/a> – While it’s hard to shed too many tears for the owner of a $750K Ferrari (tears over the aesthetic loss aside), the legal protection provided law enforcement here is in bad need of revision. Immunity where the property is in custody of law enforcement is fine, but where misused<\/b> by government employees … no. Though I note the suit was against the government per se; can the officials themselves be sued (since clearly it was not something done in pursuit of their duties)?<\/li>\n
  5. Zits for 10\/2\/2011<\/a> – Heh. This feels familiar.<\/li>\n
  6. House Republicans Eliminate Funding for Job Training (Again!)<\/a> – Of course they do. None of them (or their sponsors) need it. (Alas.)<\/li>\n
  7. House Majority Appropriations Bill Attacks the Other 99 Percent<\/a> – Of course it does.<\/li>\n
  8. :New York Style Cheesecake:<\/a> – Okay, now I want cheesecake. Real, honest, non-flavoring-injected, non-fruit-festooned cheesecake.<\/li>\n
  9. “There Is Almost No Voter Fraud in America.”<\/a> – These efforts, almost all from the GOP, are focused on a non-existent problem. Which raises the question of why they’re being done, which boils down to (a) fomenting fear among the populace about nefarious democracy-undermining plots by illegals and radicals and the like, and (b) making it harder for folks to vote, most affecting the poor and minorities, who, coincidentally, are less likely to vote for the GOP. Despicable.<\/li>\n
  10. Herman Cain Plays The Race Card Against Obama: \u201cNever Part Of The Black Experience\u201d<\/a> – Stay classy, Herman.<\/li>\n
  11. 52% of Republicans support tax increases on rich: Chris in Paris<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. \u2018Superman\u2019s Girlfriend Lois Lane\u2019 Comic Covers<\/a> – Zany!<\/li>\n
  13. Topeka, Kansas Repeals Domestic Violence Law<\/a> – Appalling. Every single Tea Party dolt out there ought to be hanging their head in shame.<\/li>\n
  14. Chaplains: Pentagon\u2019s Same-Sex Marriage Rules Don\u2019t Bother Us<\/a> – Nobody’s forcing Jewish chaplains to celebrate Catholic Mass, or Baptist chaplains to oversee Wiccan handfastings. The conservative argument that chaplains will be forced, kicking and screaming, to “marry” “gays” is either idiotic or disingenuous (or, most likely, both).<\/li>\n
  15. GOP Candidates Blame 30 Years Of Rising Income Inequality On Barack Obama And Single Moms<\/a> – Of course they do.<\/li>\n
  16. I swear to God this is what they must be doing – The Oatmeal<\/a> – HA!<\/li>\n
  17. Perfect<\/a> – But … but … Eric Cantor said they have absolutely nothing in common! He said!<\/li>\n
  18. Stunning macro-photography of animal eyes<\/a> – Eyes are amazing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
