Non-Political Links
Jesus, what the hell is wrong with people?
For once, I agree with Richard Dawkins. Our society’s bizarre obsession with rules and the mindless enforcement therefore is bizarre and damaging.
A stunning picture of Christchurch after the earthquake hit. Christchurch is a lovely town and I had the best lamb vindaloo ever there. Hopefully, they’ll be back on their eet soon.
I have no idea if this is a reasonable response to Wired’s latest hysteria. But it’s something that should be looked at, right?
Political Links:
Rick Santorum: please just go away.
Remember: according to trial lawyers and their dog-washers, there is no such thing as defensive medicine.
I’m really starting to like Maggie McNeill’s blog on prostitution. Last week, she had a harrowing interview of a woman who endured horrific abuse. Today, she debunks the Dallas’ authorities self-congratulation on having stopped the non-existent wave of prostitution that didn’t hit the Super Bowl. Honestly, I think the biggest reason government exists is so that people can pat themselves on the back.
Things I like about Barack Obama: he waited until after the Americans had fled Libya to denounce the regime.
I always knew I hated corn ethanol, I just didn’t know how much.
The amazing Radley Balko has another dispatch on why mandatory minimum sentences are a bad idea.
An Op-ed from one of the Koch brothers. My god, what extremists!
