More links for election eve!

Although not specifically about the choices ahead tomorrow.
•Following up on yesterday’s links to Echidne of the Snakes and her dissection of male supremacist Roy Baumeister, here‘s her follow-up post on his claim that women have never been excluded from male groups or restricted from forming their own, so obviously their manifest inferiority is the only reason men run everything.
•Digby looks at the idea the 1 percent got their partly from luck, and why it upsets them so much.
•Why it feels good to pretend your political opponents are “baby killers.”
•Digby again on racist messages in the Republican campaign.
•A man ambushes his wife’s unarmed lover and kills him but the “castle doctrine” (a variation of the stand-your-ground laws) lets him get away with it. Courtesy of this link round-up on slacktivist.
•After wild Twitter rumors circulated post-Hurricane Sandy, the Atlantic posted a guide to tweeting and retweeting responsibly. Of course, the media parroted God knows how many rumors about anarchy, violence and horror post-Katrina even without Twitter, but it’s still good advice: Get the facts right.
•Another fall-out from Sandy: Devastating losses in medical research.
•This is how far we’ve come in gay rights since the 1990s.
•Here’s an interesting one: Even eyewitnesses to Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev’s appearance at the UN in the 1960s—when he infamously banged a shoe on the table—disagree whether he really did.
•The religious right predicts apocalypse if Obama wins: Persecution of Christians! Socialism! UN control! The last free election in America! The elimination of private gun ownership! The destruction of America! In short, the same kind of hysteria they preached in 2008.
•Digby points out an excellent example of the “I must blame both sides equally” school of journalism: Alex Pareene of Politico equates the kind of bullshit described above with claims Republicans will restrict women’s options in birth control and abortion.
•In a similar vein, one Christian publisher claims that by not mentioning God often enough, Obama is “diminishing religious freedom.” Freedom, in this context, does not mean what the man seems to think it does.
•Yesterday I also linked to a discussion of evangelicals not always being anti-abortion. One conservative is very upset and insists this is not true.
•Business owners push their employees to Vote Republican. I’m inclined to agree with Digby on this (though I lack the link): After the 2001-2008 Republican reign, it’s got to be obvious that Republicans are bad for the economy. Ergo, this is more about inadequate reverence for the glorious 1 percent job-creators. Did you see the scene in Atlas Shrugged Part II where James Taggart is greeted like a rock star. I honestly think that’s what some of the 1 percent think they’re entitled to. Or as Digby puts it, being treated like an aristocracy is more important even than making money. Here’s a legal analysis of your rights not to vote for whom your boss tells you.
•Speaking of Repub economics, David Brin critiques them and their responsibility for the current financial mess.
•Florida governor Rick Scott’s task force proposes the state charge students in bad career fields (theater, art, music) more than in stuff employers want to pay for. Because … well, the market rules! So there!
•Human suffering is not about theology, it’s about people who need help. That being said, slacktivist tackles the theological aspects too.
•You may have heard the Romney/Ryan campaign claim our Navy is dangerously weak. More bullshit. Here’s further discussion.
•If conservatives believe abortion is murder, what about the holocaust of miscarriage?
