This is just so perfect [source]

My RSS reader is just about fit to explode (yet again), so I’m dumping the links I’ve accumulated so far, including from last Wednesday (the last time I was online). Apologies for the old news.

• Them again: US House GOP [pictured] kills extension of unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless. But, hey, the electorate must enjoy being screwed over if they keep voting for these soulless hacks.

• US Senate closer to passing Internet Censorship Bill, makes all foreigner Internauts that much more relieved not to be American.

• More, more, more! Or, the FBI’s approach to Internet wiretapping.

• Del City High School in Oklahoma forces lesbian students to drop out and prevents them from coming back and graduating.

• This week’s House cranked up the in-your-face atheism to record levels in ridiculing a moronic patient who crucifies himself every year as part of a “deal” he made with God to spare his daughter’s life. So, of course, Bill Donohue is apoplectic. WIN.

• Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins’s latest argument against repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”: So many soldiers would leave that the military would have to reinstate the draft.

• City of Chicago letting coyotes loose in the streets to hunt rats. No, seriously. (And really cool.)

• How difficult is it to solve the US’s deficit? In theory, it’s simple and straightforward. In practice – ie. with politics factored in – the US is screwed.
