Roundup

It's a busy day at work today, so here's just a brief list of the things I found interesting, which I would have blogged about if I had more time:

• A New York Times column about how homosexual policy is a national security concern.
• Also from NYT: why the Religious Right hates Spongebob Squarepants, and the insidious plot to make kids respect homosexuals.
• The Houston Chronicle reports that Texas really cares about its children a lot. But not a lot to actually use the money the federal government allocates for health insurance for them.
