atheist fathers and mothers

* josh: "There will be a lot more to say when all the dust settles. But one very happy result of the just-concluding Israeli election is the body blow it has dealt to the Likud...
With Netanyahu now at the helm of this broken party, well ... it really couldn't happen to a nicer guy."

* digby: "If they aren't plagiarising, they're lying. If they aren't lying they're cooking the record. If they can't win, they cheat." - you'll have to read his post cos i can't describe it. it's really quite outrageous.

* "Ambassador Khalilzad said that President Bush "doesn't want, doesn't support, doesn't accept" Mr. Jaafari to be the next prime minister" (link)
doesnt accept?

* "The Badr Organization, a political party that represents the paramilitary Badr Corps, the Shiite militia of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, demanded Monday that Zalmay Khalilzad, the US ambassador to Iraq, be expelled from that country." (link)

* sullivan:

"Eugene Volokh has just written a law article on how atheist fathers and mothers are routinely discriminated against in child custody cases. He cites over 70 recent cases across the country - and these were only the ones which were appealed, so they probably represent a fraction of the actual cases."

i don't understand the complaint. how can antheists raise god-fearin' kids? sullivan then goes on to express the horror that an attack on atheists is also an attack on godfearers. ummm, nope.
