Yes, I know some of you were actually vacating over the weekend, but the blog wasn't. A quick catch-up, if you're interested in what you missed: Benjamin Franklin disagrees with Sam Harris; Mark Steyn appears to endorse "culling Muslims"; what Barack Obama has in common with the new Tory leader in Britain, David Cameron (who's on track to be the next prime minister); and Mitt Romney's anti-atheist bigotry. Enjoy.
