Restraint - Ursula K. LeGuin on social sacrifice. (Thanks to controuble.)
Chick-fil-A’s Biblical Family of the Day - Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy: “We support biblical families.” Today’s Chick-fil-A Biblical Family of the Day: Solomon (1 Kings 11:1-3).
Charlie Fuqua, Arkansas Legislative Candidate, Endorses Death Penalty For Rebellious Children In Book - Welcome to the Christian nation of America that our conservative friends want to institute.
Romney says Obama hasn’t signed any Free Trade Agreements (false) - The really great thing about being a Republican candidate in America is that Your Liberal Media will dutifully report any baldfaced lie you tell as if it were true, making any challenge to that lie seem like progressive whining. Thus neatly reinforcing the hermetic seal on the conservative echo chamber.
