From the Pork Barrel: Warming Up to Denying Global Warming
* The Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes won't do your research for you. Hey, he won't even do his own research for himself!
* If you think the Bernie Madoff scandal makes you sick now, wait till you experience it in musical form.
* Facebook group "1,000,000 Strong to Strip the Mormon Church of its Tax Exempt Status" only short by about 9,995,000 members or so.
* Reason mag looks into President Obama's War on the Economy.
* Joe Lieberman, just as popular in his home state as you'd expect him to be.

See, i thought the free-market capitalism thing was working fine. I mean, what could ever go wrong there?
Also, why do people insist on using the "we" form when criticizing use of the "we" form.
Personally, i prefer either "Wee Form" or, via Bugs Bunny, "Weform."
Jim, we've been socialists for a long time: Social Security, employer or state provided health care, paid time off, holidays, collective bargaining, pensions, 40 hour work week, public education… all enumerated in the Manifesto.
It's not a tumor! It's the econo… no wait, it is a tumor.
At least you're providing the link to Reason magazine without mocking it. That shows some open-mindedness.
BTW, if you want a troubling magazine article, the latest issue of Newsweek proclaims on the cover "We are all Socialists now." We're screwed.
Unfortunately, churches can donate unlimited amounts of money on "issues" like anyone else without it affecting their tax exempt status. Furthermore, even though its against the rules, no church has lost their tax exempt status even when they crossed the line and improperly endorsed a candidate.
What needs to be done is putting campaign contribution limits on issues.
