Quick picks

My time is not my own this morning, but I thought I’d pass on a few things to you.

Katherine Kersten exposes the fact that Muslims in Minnesota are using public charter schools to promote religion amongst the students.

I loath the smell of cigarette smoke, but this strikes me as going a bit too far.

Although Obama, the consummate politician, is too careful ever to speak ill of Israel, his lifelong influences and his current political buddies are not so circumspect.

I was at stores yesterday, way too many, including Costco and some bookstores. All had books by or about Jimmy Carter, all hagiographic in nature. Rick Moran provides a little useful offsetting info.

And last but not least, you can’t do better than checking out all the wonderful posts submitted at the Watcher of Weasels:
