Link leftovers...

...odds and ends read over Christmas (which I hope everyone enjoyed as much as our family did):

* If you can't organize getting on a State ballot, you probably aren't the best Presidential material...

* If your business is internet access, supporting government restrictions isn't a good business model...

* The Feds assert that requiring a photo ID at the polls is discriminatory and asking too much of would-be voters.  No word whether it's equally 'racist' to require such ID at airports, traffic stops, when cashing checks or purchasing alcohol, collecting lottery proceeds...

* How the 'religion of peace' sends Christmas greetings to those celebrating Christ's birth in Nigeria

* How the 'religion of peace' is living with its Christian neighbors elsewhere...

* A newspaper posts an online story about a 'rare NASA photo' about a "wreath nebula" ... but doesn't include or link to the photo.  (As the Musketeers would say: "fail!")

* The Iraqi government seems to think the best way to celebrate the departure of the U.S. is to put out an arrest warrant for the Vice President.  Others disagree... they figure a return to synchronized car bombings is in order.  Tell me again why we stayed an additional five years?
