From Focus on the Family. When "several members complained that prayer shouldn't be used to bring harm on someone else" they said it was a joke and pulled it from their website. Right Wing Watch got it. I got it via Pam@Pandagon.

Via PsyBlog.

Background here. More here.

More here. The mayor describes the raid in an email to friends. Via TMV cobloggers Shaun Mullen and Bridget Magnus.

Steve Benen notes a McCain spokesperson gave the joke policy prescription some credence, then sets the record straight.

On the the American Family Association's boycott of McDonald's over its decision "not to remain neutral in the cultural war over homosexuality" Stewart says, "This is the first time you realized McDonald's was gay? Do you have a TV? Have you ever seen their ads?!"

Via John Battelle, "If you liked these, you'll also like this."

Via NewTeeVee, Jimmy Justice's approach to justice is an intimate one:

In Sunday's Washington Post, Keith B. Richburg interviewed the self-appointed vigilante while connecting him to other recent instances of citizen-documented police misconduct, such as this video of a Critical Mass bicyclist being assaulted by the NYPD

ON TMV TODAY

• Brandon McInerney: 19 days too old for justice, stats on the number of kids serving life sentences in this country. Truly barbarous.
• Trolls: Why inflict anguish on a stranger? The NYTimes Magazine story, with lots of links. Including 1 on how to avoid attracting them.
• The closing of The Patry Copyright Blog -- I wasn't a regular reader. Now I never will be. I agree with him that "Copyright law has abandoned its reason for being..."

ON TMV YESTERDAY:

• More on Deibold, the patch, and the 2002 Georgia election -- This from the state that requires a photo ID to stop vote fraud. Yeah, right. And I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you...

ON TMV FRIDAY:

• Arianna on The Huffington Post -- a typical quote, followed by a subtle critique. She says "her biggest mistake was not instituting comment moderation..." and apparently uses it to stifle criticism.
• Indecision 2008: The News Better Run -- commentless video embed. Like I usually do here. In fact, why not...

OTHER LINKS:

• Salon point counter point -- Glenn Greenwald says Let's give Blue Dogs the boot (even if it means losing seats). Ed Kilgore says Wait till George Bush is history, and then decide. I'm with Kilgore, esp. his last 4 paragraphs. BTW, they're talking my Congreemen.
• Google Lively, another pointless virtual world. Includes interesting stats on Second Life.
• Revolving doors -- they really do save energy big time!
• Unmasking the gun lobby mole -- Bravo Mother Jones!
• FSF on the iPhone -- They articulate the argument NOT to buy. "Apple's DRM software and the accompanying legal threats are in place to further their own interests by restricting the freedoms of computer users"

From Race and Politics in America: Where Are We in 2008? at Aspen Institute's Idea Festival. Recorded on July 1. Full program here. Ta-Nehisi Coates moderates and blogs about it here with links to blogosphere discussion of it.
