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

Horowitz: Democrats Groom the Mentally Disabled to Vote ~ More evidence of voter fraud. Pathetic.
‘Islam is like Nazism’: top Sweden Democrat ~ A not unreasonable comparison, considering the stated goals of certain Muslim spokesmen. Yet in Sweden, a formal investigation has been launched to determine whether the “offenders” (they are apparently three politicians involved) are guilty of “racial agitation”, a crime punishable by up to two years in prison.
News of a bit more positive nature from France ~ Vive la famille! The French rally against gay marriage: “père, mère, enfant”
A huge wave. Of Catholics? “No, citizens!” a man answers. Tens of thousands of people (70,000 according to the mayor’s office) were arrayed this afternoon in Paris to protest against the planned law by which the government shall legalize homosexual marriage. Among them, many rightist voters, some are experiencing their first protest.
Pink balloons, spelling out: “No to gay marriage,” a family touts the slogan: “A child is the result of the union of man and woman.”
Light Bulbs That Kill ~ Central Planning run amok; the CFL scam ~
You pay more for a light bulb that you think is saving the planet, when in fact you have done nothing to save the planet and you killed some innocent Chinese workers while you are at it.
