+ The Maddow Blog offers A Cheneyesque take on the 'war on women' by Steve Benen.
+ The HuffingtonPost offers "Mitt Romney Campaign: We Will Not 'Be Dictated By Fact-Checkers'" by Sam Stein. It begins: "Mitt Romney's campaign said on Tuesday that its ads attacking President Obama's waiver policy on welfare have been its most effective to date. And while the spots have been roundly criticized as lacking any factual basis, the campaign said it didn't really care." Read it all.
+ I would love to see both parties include support for the Charter for Compassion in their platforms.
It begins:
The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect.
Please read it all and please sign it and urge others to sign it if you agree.
+ The Maddow Blog offers "Abandoning the Pretense of Caring About Facts". Excerpt: "It's important to realize there is no modern precedent for a presidential candidate rejecting the premise that facts matter. Mitt Romney is trying something no one has ever seen -- he's deemed the truth to be an inconvenient nuisance, which Romney will ignore, without shame, to advance his ambitions for vast power."
+ Common Dreams offers "The Curious Appeal of Ayn Rand" by David Macaray. Many Republican ideologues think Ayn Rand is wonderful. She condemned altruism and was an avowed atheist.
