Assorted links, vol. 28

*--Have you heard about the seven-year-old soccer prodigy who signed with Real Madrid?
--A interactive county-by-county breakdown of the 2010 U.S. census data.  Summary: so long Midwest, hello coasts.
*--In an interesting follow-up to his piece on why the Republican Party is effectively now a religion (which I linked here), the same author contends that the same cannot be said of the Democratic Party; it may have religious elements, but cannot be termed a religion.
*--Billionaire Warren Buffet wants to stop being coddled and pay more taxes.  But is that merely a misdirection technique to prevent being taxed on his wealth?
--More on the Alabama bishops who have sued the state to enjoin enforcement of its new immigration law.
--An good read on two somewhat differing religious takes on the genocide in Sudan.
