    \n
  1. 500px \/ Photo “Gotcha!” by Marsel van Oosten<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Atheist Soldier Stands Ground in Spite of Threats for Refusing to Participate in Military Graduation Prayer<\/a> – Really? Do you think that Jesus would approve of forcing someone to look like they’re praying? Didn’t he in fact, condemn insincere public displays of piety (Matt. 6:5-6)?<\/li>\n
  3. Poster Problems: In Giles County, Va., The Unconstitutional Writing Is On The Wall \u00ab The Wall of Separation<\/a> – What I love is the disingenuous “Well, WE didn’t put it up, so it’s not governmental speech” argument. Don’t think Jesus likes lying, school board members, esp. about whether you “support” him or not.<\/li>\n
  4. Naomi Wolf arrested at OWS event for violating terms of an imaginary law \u2013 Boing Boing<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. The Comic-Con Icon Award 2011: June Foray<\/a> – Hokey-smoke!<\/li>\n
  6. EPA to regulate disposal of fracking wastewater – The Denver Post<\/a> – Which is an excellent thing — except that it’s a matter now of “drafting standards,” which will take a year or two, and then dealing with unrelenting lobbying by the natural gas industry and the anti-EPA crowd, and be faced by the real chance of either Congress preventing such regs to take place, or a politically over-sensitive Administration (like the present one) deciding to suspend them for the time being.<\/li>\n
  7. Supreme Court To Hear The Mother of All Corporate Immunity Cases | ThinkProgress<\/a> – That’s just swell.<\/li>\n
  8. How The NRA Plans To Force Nearly Every State To Follow The Nation’s Worst Gun Laws | ThinkProgress<\/a> – Another example of “We think the states should be able to do whatever they want, except when they do things we don’t like, in which case the Feds should trump those kind of evil laws.” Which I sometimes believe, too (in different causes), but I don’t also call myself a states rights advocate.<\/li>\n
  9. Millionaires Control Almost 40 Percent Of The World’s Wealth, Make Up Less Than 1 Percent Of Its Population | ThinkProgress<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. New Version of Gmail Coming Soon [VIDEO]<\/a> – Ooooh. That looks nice.<\/li>\n
  11. Marco Rubio\u2019s compelling family story embellishes facts, documents show – The Washington Post<\/a> – So … not so much fleeing from the Castro tyranny as discovering that they really didn’t want to go back after Castro rose to power. Um, not quite so compelling, Marco.<\/li>\n
  12. Lindsey Graham: ‘Let’s Get In On The Ground. There’s A Lot Of Money To Be Made In The Future Of Libya’ | ThinkProgress<\/a> – How dare we lead from behind when there’s money to be made by Big Oil Companies!?<\/li>\n
  13. Box Turtle Bulletin \u00bb Gay vandalism claim likely a hoax<\/a><\/li>\n
  14. Best. Jack-O-Lantern. Ever …<\/a> – TRICK … OR … EXTERMINATE!<\/li>\n
  15. Cain Adds To \u20189-9-9\u2019 Plan, Angering Unions | Fox News<\/a> – Yes, if only we depressed wages, more people would find jobs. In fact, if everyone worked for free, there would be INFINITE jobs!<\/li>\n
  16. DIA’s blue “Mustang” makes list of top bizarre art displays – The Denver Post<\/a> – ‘Tis the DEMON HORSE OF DIA!<\/li>\n
  17. Denver may pursue law cracking down on homeless on 16th Street Mall – The Denver Post<\/a> – Yes, let’s be sure and deal with the homeless problem by … driving them somewhere else. Swell.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
