Benedict's argument on condoms, explained.
That PSA test doesn't accomplish much.

Chaplain barred from saying "God." Might be offensive to "some." It's always that famous "some." But what if not saying "God" is offensive to me?
Where are the war crime accusations against the Palestinians?
Discussion of the quantitative easing. Cowen. My ignorant view? Banks will take the money and hoard it to recapitalize. Who wouldn't?
Not in my neighborhood. Admin considers releasing Gitmo guys in the USA. Just one more reason to have an armed home.

In case you don't know it yet, Obama's teleprompter has its own blog.
Just One Minute begins:
I deplore this confiscatory tax aimed at whoever Congress is mad at today. Right now it's AIG and Fannie Mae; later it will be Merrill and Citibank, and eventually it will be defense contractors, profiteering oil executives, or whomever the Congressional Dems single out as their whipping boy du jour.
And of course, rolling this ex post tax out at the same time the Fed and Treasury are trying to encourage private investors to partner up with the government to get the credit markets moving again is insane. What investor needs the likely aggravation to follow? Who needs to be hauled in front of Barney Frank a year from now in order to be blasted as a profiteer who exploited our national crisis for his own profit, which Barney will then tax back? Who will be daft enough to come out of retirement as Liddy did to endure the abuse Liddy took?
