From Joshua

• Justin Raimondo’s optimistic about libertarian potential.
• Salem witch hunt redux: the pædo myth. Even an enemy of the faith like Dawkins says enough already.
• Straight talk on gay priests.
• Afghanistan: ‘I don’t want to have my legs blown off for these people.’ More.
• Mother Jones and Steve Colbert. Shills for Obama.
• Notes on the empire.
• From Mark Shea: in a world where the Most Powerful Man on Earth just unilaterally decided to grant himself the absolute despotic power to kill anyone he likes, citizen or not, without benefit of arrest, trial or evidence, the media is courageously focusing on... a form letter in a relatively minor bureaucratic process 23 years ago which resulted in (gasp!) a priest being laicized. Journos in a Protestant country dogpiling onto Rome; yes, how brave.
