Assorted links, vol. 29

*--I want a bouquet of these Little Prince roses, please.  :-)
*--A stolen Rembrandt sketch turned up in an Episcopal church, apparently dumped off there.
--Sexism is alive and well, both in industry and in the church.
--Check out these stats on the Pentagon's spending over the last decade.
--This story will sicken you: a special-ed student in Missouri was forced to apologize to the boy who sexually assaulted her.
*--Michele Bachmann won the Ames straw poll the other day, followed closely by Ron Paul.  For background, here are Huffington Post's FAQ and ABC News's FAQ about the straw poll, ever-insightful Nate Silver's predictions about post-Ames Iowa, US News and World Reports' ruminations on the poll's predictive power (or lack thereof), and the NY Times's summary article.
