When the sleeper links

An annoying cough kept me up most of the night, so I’m just going to go with links today.
•Obama has found a simple approach to keeping civilian deaths low in drone strikes: Classify everyone killed at the strike zone as a militant.
•Women at a private NYC high school are told that even when they meet the dress code, they’re not dressed appropriately. I recommend clicking through to the original story for the first-hand accounts.
•Businessman and ex-ballplayer Curt Schilling once asserted that he’s a stand-on-his-own-feet, no-nanny-state conservative type. Yeah, right.
•Speaking of the selfish, Paul Krugman ponders how Wall Streeters not only want wealth, they want adulation. Digby sums it up well: “The chutzpah of these people never fails to amaze me. But this does explain their shock at being held responsible for this meltdown and the pain and suffering that followed. They really believe they are big heroes and the rest of us are a bunch of ungrateful wretches for failing to acknowledge it.” Rolling Stone shows how private-equity firms like Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital are part of the problem, not the solution.
•Catholic Bishops argue that the contraceptive mandate is equivalent to a new French revolution, with them on the guillotine (some past thoughts of mine on this topic here). Slacktivist points out that invoking Thomas More as the champion of religious freedom (More was big on Catholic freedom, but nobody else’s) says more than the Bishops probably realize about their worldview.
•House Republicans are voting to ban gay marriage ceremonies on military bases. That’s not just an attack on gays, it’s an attack on the religious freedom of churches that accept gay marriage.
•A Christian activist in Ohio claims that since abortion isn’t sanctioned in the Bible, it must be unconstitutional (in case you don’t click through, let me just say she’s wrong).
•TV pundit Chris Mathews remembers how he and his network would have stopped the Iraq War if they’d been around back then. Oh wait, they were.
