Happiness is a watched blog (bang bang shoop shoop)<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

I spent way too much time today wrestling a horrendous monster of an article on welfare reform, so this is about the best I can do. To all the people who sent in slogan suggestions, thanks\u2013I\u2019ll print the best of them on Friday. For now, check out the list<\/a> over at Yale\u2019s Finest Blog, which is also hosting a running debate on Catholic universities for reasons that escape me.<\/p>\n

Charles Murtaugh<\/a><\/b>: \u201cI\u2019m down with death, too, don\u2019t get me wrong,\u201d but Kass is still a schmuck amuck (great post); Mullah Omar is about to hit a chestnut tree.<\/p>\n

Ted Barlow<\/b><\/a>: Two of the links you\u2019ll find below (he has great taste, no?), plus an incredibly long thing about single-payer healthcare and why it would rock (and why it\u2019s not socialized medicine). I have no clue if he\u2019s right, but if health policy interests you, read it.<\/p>\n

Andragna<\/a><\/b>: Several good points on the priest scandals. (What, you expected a catchy pun in that description?)<\/p>\n

Spinsters<\/b><\/a>: Free yourself from \u201cslave name\u201d misconceptions; public art (now, without the sucking!); Derrida: \u201cThat number is not acceptable within my artichoke.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeff Jarvis<\/a><\/b>: Catholic hierarchy is shredding its credibility; Mohammed is not Jesus, or why we shouldn\u2019t be surprised at Islamic fundamentalism. (I\u2019d add that the Quran is supposed to have been given to Mohammed without the intervention of canonizers, unlike the Hebrew Bible or the New Testament. Christian \u201cfundamentalists,\u201d weirdly, accept the tradition that canonized the Bible\u2013no Gospel of Thomas, no Nicodemus, etc.\u2013but reject that tradition\u2019s interpretation of the Bible.)<\/p>\n

MuslimPundit<\/a><\/b>: Mohammed is still not Jesus; Islamism is fuzzy, but not warm.<\/p>\n

And now I have to leave the office or I will start some total jihad<\/a> over here.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
