Saturday Shorts 9-24-11

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

 
LightSquared: The next Obama pay-for-play morass? ~ by Michelle Malkin. Yet another scandal to add to the growing list of the Obama Administration’s corrupt schemes. The “Chicago Way” endangering national security. See Michelle’s update as well: LightSquared: Obama’s Dangerous Broadband Boondoggle
 
Arabs Allegedly Throw Rocks at 20-Month-Old Israeli Baby’s Face ~ Religion of Peace “strikes” again. Appalling!
 
Psychotherapy: Needs Reboot? or Just Boot? ~ Yale professor acknowledges that, after all this time, psychotherapy has failed to solve the rather serious problem of mental illness in the United States. Looking for answers in all the wrong places.
 
Pope Says Catholics Cannot Accept Gay Marriage and Religion Must Not Be Banished From Public Life ~ Couldn’t agree more (and I’m not even Catholic). “Again and again in history, keen observers have pointed out that damage to the church comes not from opponents, but from uncommitted Christians,” (the Pope) said. How can we be the “salt and light” if we’re only lukewarm?
 
Obama: Incompetent or Malevolent? ~ If I didn’t know better I’d think David Solway at Israpundit was inspired by my concept; Stupid, Ignorant or Simply Malevolent? :mrgreen: His answer to the question? A combination of both.
Also at Israpundit: Take your secret Saudi threats and shove ‘em ~ by Ezra Levant. Love this guy – no fear!
 
Taking Down Socialist ‘Tax Fairness’ Rhetoric ~ by Mark Alexander at the Patriot Post. Exposing the fallacy behind the Left’s class warfare rhetoric:

The essence of “fairness” is outlined in our Declaration of Independence, which states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The operative words here are “created equal” (not equalized by government redistribution) and “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights” (not granted them by the state).
