I don't believe anyone reads my friendfeed. Kind of a one hand clapping thing.

New Book Suggests British Catholic Royals Would Have Place to Pray - http://religionclause.blogspot.com/2009...
"Author David Baldwin argues in his book, Royal Prayer, that the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1661 is still in force. Negotiated in anticipation of the marriage of Charles II to Catherine of Braganza , the treaty provides: "Her Majesty and whole Family shall enjoy the free exercise of the Roman Catholic religion, and to that purpose shall have a Chapel, or some other place, set apart for the exercise thereof." - Alex Scrivener
I am now on 4 FriendFeed lists on Twitter. The fact that I never do anything on Twitter seems irrelevant.

Even When I Thought it Was Stimulation, I Knew it Was the Banks All Along - http://reason.com/blog...
"Everything the Fed has been doing over the past fifteen months makes sense if you think of their goal as transferring wealth from taxpayers to banks. If you try to explain it as an attempt to implement an expansionary monetary policy, you won't even get past my high school students." - Alex Scrivener
Public-Employee Union Troubles in Detroit - http://mjperry.blogspot.com/2009...
" Short term, Detroit's best hope may be to go bankrupt. However, given Michigan law, which has never been tested because no city has ever filed for bankruptcy, it's unclear if even bankruptcy will fully release Detroit from the clutches of its unions and allow it to start over. The only thing certain is that fate is not kind to a city that allows unions to run amok" - Alex Scrivener

No Health Insurance? Go Directly to Jail. - http://reason.com/blog...
"Looked at another way, all this really means is that the government continues to retain the authority to lock up those who don't pay their taxes. But still, this is a stark reminder that when liberals talk about "health care as a right," what they really mean is "health insurance as a requirement." - Alex Scrivener
