Assorted links, vol. 34

[Lots of links today.  I probably should have split this into two post, so sorry.  I'll give you four or five highlights today instead of just two or three.]

--One way to boost young people's future prospects: longer school days.
*--Based on info from an admittedly small sampling of UCC pastors in Canada, here are 25 theologians whose works the pastors would recommend to people in their pews.
--Wow.  Dominique Strauss-Kahn is off the hook and on his way.  I still wonder if he's getting away with sexual assault.
*--A fascinating opinion piece arguing a position that I've been arguing for years now: that just because you wear a military uniform in no way guarantees that you are a hero.
*--Panelist have been selected for the attorney discipline case against Andrew Thomas.
--The new MLK monument opened on the National Mall.
--Bisexual men exist, Northwestern University says.
--What should the state do about polygamous/polyandrous/polyamorous relationships?
*--The Washington Post thinks we have nothing to fear from evangelical candidates like Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann, and that to call them "dominionists" is to misuse the term.  But Religion Dispatches counters that the Post has missed the point.  What do you think?
