Links For Brains: 2/24/2009

  • Resolution to allow atheists to hold public office in Arkansas faces an uphill battle. (The fact that it’s required by the Constitution apparently isn’t persuasive.)
  • New drug aims to turn the mutant powers of HIV into a method for killing it. (But we’ve never seen evolution happening, right?)
  • A few ways the Supreme Court could handle the constitutionality of religious displays on public property. (Bet on the Court ruling you can’t sue unless a cross falls on your head.)
  • The company that owns both daily newspapers in Philadelphia just declared bankruptcy. (A win for the trees, but a loss for the papers’ many hundreds of employees.)

Please join me in welcoming Foo-Foo McKinley to the Suburban Panic alternative energy free-range boulder nursery. Ms. McKinley is a Philadelphia area skeptic, and a frequent commenter on Skepchick.org. This is her first foray into the blogiverse, and we’re happy that she chose to begin her imminent eminence with us. Look for her first post tomorrow morning.
