Quick Links

I'll get the Quick Links posted early tonight, in anticipation of the coming of the Carnival...

Hispanic advocates decry tax-preparation deceit - I don't know why, but I am consistantly surprised by the people who abdicate the use of common sense. If you're going to take business deductions, doesn't it just make sense that they would have to bear some resemblence at least to your business?

Jihad remains key subject in Pakistan's religious schools - No real great surprise here. Doesn't make you feel all warm and fuzzy about the possibility of rational dialogue, huh?

Greek Muslim women want education first, sharia abolition later - I think it should be the other way around. Education first, abolition second just means that they will intellectually know how badly they're getting screwed - and still won't be able to do anything about it.

'Smart stamps' next in war on terrorism - It's Orwellian, it's obnoxious, and it's probably a next to useless waste of money. The only real effect I see this having is to scare off folks engaging in legitimate free speech that may be unpopular. We really need to find better ways to spend our money, we really do.
