Quick Links

Sorry about the lack of posting today. I had to work, go on a job interview (I'm likely going to be changing jobs in the next few weeks, finally), and got a couple of comments that I am having trouble getting past (not you Thomas).

Reminder about the comments. Call me what you will, use whatever invective or overwrought rhetoric you will, just keep it clean and don't expect me to respond to ad hominem attacks in which you never really address the point of the post. I like rational debate and don't mind people disagreeing with me. Just don't expect a whole lot when the basis for your argument is that I am clearly uneducated and insane. Tell me something my friends haven't already told me. But enough on this before I ramble on all night.

Here are tonight's quick links:

Fake Catholic church ordered by judge to tell the truth - I'll bet that someone, somewhere is screaming "Freedom of religion!" Sorry, but the ruling here seems entirely reasonable.

Iran leads Islamic world's nuclear quest - Aren't you glad that the leaders of Iran are just such peace loving thugs that we'll never have to worry if they build the bomb? </sarcasm>

Schwarzenegger transition team heavy on business, tax conservatives - California is in a fiscal crisis. I'd hope that Arnold had more business and tax people than social engineers.

The Great and Enduring Heresy of Mohammed - For being nearly 65 years old, it seems to be rather accurate about the threat of radical, revivalist Islam.

Values outsourced: What are the social costs of the Wal-Mart economy? - A look at the effects of Wal-Mart, not in the business arena so much as in the socio-economic one. Obviously biased against Wal-Mart, but it does have some interesting points to consider.
