Random Things

Vilsack signed the bill banning protestors from military funerals yesterday.  This comes just in time for the funeral of Daniel Sesker, a soldier killed in Iraq who happened to be homosexual. I think this is a slippery slope on free speech, without which we wouldn’t get to enjoy the irony of quotes like this:  “The church issued a statement Monday critical of the Legislature for passing the law, saying protesters also planned to picket the ‘ignominious, Bible-dumb, pandering demagogic Iowa Legislature.’” The First Amendment Center offers a discussion of the legal background.

The Register irritated me with this headline: “GOP’s Lamberti bests Boswell in fundraising.” The fine print/article? Boswell is still way ahead. I have a very love-hate relationship with horse races.

Yepsen blabbers on about taxes. He sure seems to do that a lot.
