Link roundup for 20 October 2007
Jabberwock hilariously dissects an even-stupider-than-usual Chick tract about Halloween.
Tony Blair rocks!
John Derbyshire looks at Chinese demonstration sports for the next Olympics.
The Christian Right now has one more reason to hate the Harry Potter books.
Did you know that the pill is part of the "culture of death"?
Senator David Vitter (R-Diaper) has failed in his latest effort to advance the Christian Right cause.
Daylight Atheism looks at a new breakthrough in quackery.
This is supposed to make people pay attention to speed-limit signs. For some reason I hardly noticed the signs, though.
The Vatican is.....well, it's the Vatican.
Since Congress hasn't gotten around to mandating net neutrality, it seems to me that it's up to the public to punish Comcast for this. Are you one of their customers? Wouldn't you rather have an ISP that doesn't try to decide for you what you should and shouldn't be doing on the internet?
Check out the surrealist art of Jacek Yerka and Stanislav Plutenko.
Taking a stand against proselytizing in public schools sometimes gets results. Unfortunately, the problem is more intractable in the military.
This essay is on-target about the Armenian genocide resolution.
Christopher Hitchens looks at the future of the Anglosphere.
In yet another example of their unusual intelligence, elephants can use subtle cues to distinguish more-dangerous and less-dangerous categories of humans.
Lots of people are linking to this, but it's worth it: Greta Christina on atheist anger.
Few people can claim to understand Islam so well as those who formerly were Muslims. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, probably the world's most courageous atheist, speaks out here.

Thank you for the link! It's reassuring that things work out in favor of education and separation of church and State once in a blue moon. Especially in the face of the ugliness written about in the next link. "Exclusive" access. How can this be?
