Link Dump for 7 August
* The Skeptical Optmist slays two myths regarding the national debt.
* I’m very impressed by the Republican Congressmen in the House doing their “Guerilla Congress” thing. I’d be more impressed if they actually shut things down once they came back.
* Quite simply, that neither of the candidates is seriously discussing the looming Social Security crisis is a problem. And yes, there is a looming crisis.
* Sun rises, Hugo Chavez continues to consolidate power. We continue to stand by and do nothing.
* I had to laugh at this story - the NRA may have successfully planted a spy in opposition organizations. Pretty awesome.
* More postal lunacy, this time in Maine. A small island is too small and not year round for daily mail service, so the mail gets sent over on a ferry and left in a specially-marked trash can. The higher-ups at the Postal Service catch wind and say “no more.” I’ll take “introduce postal competition” for $200.
* Long videos, but worth watching: A law professor and a police officer explain why you should never talk to law enforcement, even if innocent.
* Finally, some fun links: Details of the Twenty-One quiz show scandal, a New York Giants fan hunts for a Patriots 19-0 Super Bowl shirt in South America, and Hamlet: The Facebook News Feed Edition.
