Misdirection Play 1

Ana Marie Cox cuts through the santorum to reveal Little Ricky’s little trickies:

When Santorum claims that the policy means that Obama “has reached a new low in this country’s history of oppressing religious freedom that we have never seen before,” he’s relying on American’s long-held distrust of government to blind us to real-life workings of the policy he describes. In practice, it’s preventing people from using their insurance to cover birth control costs that feels like government interference, on the way to oppression.

    Not bad. She’s still too nice to Santorum, calling him eloquent and impassioned in his beliefs. Can a dump truck of extremism and toxic waste be called eloquent and impassioned in its drive to run you over? I dunno.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
