Assorted links, vol. 30

*--Are you a constituent of House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan (or, for that matter, Arizona's own Ben Quayle...)?  If so, don't plan on seeing them during the August recess -- that is, unless you are ready to break out your wallet in order to do so.  Thanks, "representatives".
*--A short op-ed that's interesting on a number of levels and definitely worth your time.  Who wants to engage in the sort of reversed debate that she describes?  I'm totally ready and think it's a great idea.
*--It appears to be surprisingly easy for investigators to elicit false confessions from innocent parties.
--A reflection from the (Roman Catholic) Archbishop of New York on external markers of faith.
--Another reflection from a Lutheran pastor on what is really responsible for the decline of mainline churches.
--Yet one more example of Muslims being singled out for different standards of treatment, this time regarding a proposed mosque in Georgia.
