And then my heart with linkage fills

I have a new And column out, about the Kansas attempt to create Jim Crow laws for gays.
•Conservatives are shocked the Ohio National Guard would use right-wing terrorists as the premise for a counter-terrorism training exercise because Everyone Knows terrorists are all liberals. Counterpoints (William Krar, Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh, Jim Adkisson) at the link. Digby puts this in historical perspective.
•Five things more likely to happen to you than a false rape accusation.
•South of the border censorship: Brazil wants to regulate hip-hop.
•To pay for pollution and oil fires—pizza!
•Paleofuture looks at how the vision of a self-driving car has gone from More Down Time For You to More Work Time. Joy, joy.
•The scariest thing to hear someone say is I’m From Capital One and I’m Here to Help.
•There’s a long-standing argument that if we’d just respect anti-abortion or anti-gay arguments and compromise a little everything would work out. I’m with Scott that it’s baloney.
•The NSA does not appreciate being mocked.
•FEMA is obligingly reclassifying high-risk flood insurance areas as low risk, saving condo towers and wealthy beachfront owners millions. And of course, starving flood insurance of premium income to cover losses.
•Last year, I wrote about Susan Patton, a Princeton grad who recommended Princeton women marry before graduating, preferably while they’re still freshmen. Given there’s always a market for antifeminism, she jumped from writing that in the Princeton alumni magazine to writing in the Wall Street Journal (h/t ladyrompp). Roy Edroso throws in some snark. Oh, in case you’re wondering, Patton knows that if you give away the milk, no honorable man will ever buy the cow!
•Sexual assault at Patrick Henry College does not exist. The college has assured us of this. Slacktivist throws in that the school is not known as God’s Harvard.
