Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
Obama Campaign Co-Chair Eva Longoria Gets Schooled ~ Thanks to Twitter, it’s not so easy for Hollywood Leftists to get away with being annoying, foul-mouthed know-it-alls anymore.
 
President Obama’s Misleading Account of Lilly Ledbetter Equal Pay Case ~ His mischaracterization of Romney’s intentions, and his desperate pandering to liberal women, are built on a pack of lies.
And then there’s this falsehood: Debate fallout: The mammogram lie ~ Truth: Planned Parenthood does not provide mammograms.
“No one should prop up an abortion business by claiming it is helping women in ways that it does not.” ~ ADF attorney Casey Mattox.
 
Classical education enlivens Denver Catholic school ~ Would love to see this idea spread. Kids desperately need the three R’s (actually, in this case, the trivium, which is made up of grammar, logic, and rhetoric) – not more social engineering.
 
“He Said Allahu Akbar” – The Attack On Fort Hood ~ Video from “Fort Hood Heros.” Survivors speak out three years after the tragedy: this was terrorism – not “workplace violence!”

Why has the man who murdered 13 of his fellow soldiers not been tried yet? Why is he being allowed to flaunt US Army grooming regulations? Hasan needs to be speedly tried and punished as appropriate.

 
Welfare Spending Shattering All-Time Highs ~ Unbelievable: If converted to cash, means-tested welfare spending is more than five times the amount needed to eliminate all poverty in the United States! 😯
 
10,000 Young People Gather In Desert To Worship God ~ Amid increasing persecution in Egypt (courtesy of the Muslim Brotherhood), thousands of young Christians rallied earlier this month to worship and seek God’s blessing for their country.

We can learn so much from our fellow Christians who face persecution and an uncertain future. Pray to the Lord that He will continue to strengthen Christians in Egypt and give them boldness and courage.
