From an anonymous emailer: I’m still on that O action-email list.  Below is an article I was sent for “inspiration” –   Putting the lie to the idea that Palin was objectionable for any other significant reason that she was perceived as a threat to O’s ascendancy.    Of course they had just gotten through being very awful to Hillary supporters,  and even mocking them  with derision after defeat –

Hell, I’m just going to repost this here, because I think it deserves more commentary: Many American Atheists Are Unhappy Douchebags because they are victims of the religious: American atheists, by contrast, are often left out of community life. The studies that Brooks cites in Gross National Happiness, which find that the religious are happier and more generous then the secular, do not define religious and secular in terms of

but maybe at least we can save the hedge funds: Some the world’s richest hedge fund managers conceded on Thursday that their secretive investment industry would have to disclose more information to satisfy financial regulators. In a rare appearance before lawmakers on Thursday, George Soros, James Simons, John Paulson, Philip Falcone and Kenneth Griffin were quizzed about the $1.7 trillion industry’s use of borrowed money, the taxes they pay and

If Dan or Darleen would like to post here — or bring some stuff from the Pub over — I’m cool with that. If not, just use this thread as a repository of interesting links and discussions. Or, you know — a place to hide your stash. OUTLAW

First came the news that, despite what he told us while running for President, Barack Obama really did sit in his “spiritual advisor’s” church every Sunday imbibing Black Liberation Theology. For 20 years. Where he picked up absolutely nothing that will affect his worldview, we’re to believe.
