- 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.)

But the bankruptcy doesn’t mean they’re not publishing anymore, right? I thought it was a debt-restructuring kind of thing, like not the BEST thing in the world but not necessarily the end of the paper.
I’ll shut up now and go read the article. :)
It’s not the bitter end yet, but they’ve already laid off scads of workers, and they’re still bankrupt. I doubt that that bodes well for their remaining workforce.
