From the Financial Times : More than half of voters in four other major European states back a push by France’s Nicolas Sarkozy to ban women from wearing the burka, according to an opinion poll for the Financial Times . As Mr Sarkozy presses ahead with plans to ban the wearing of the burka in public places, the FT’s latest Harris poll shows the move is not just strongly supported in France, but wins enthusiastic backing in the UK, Italy, Spain and Germany. The poll shows some 70 per cent of respondents in France said they supported plans to forbid the wearing of the garment which covers the female body from head to toe.

Last night, the Marquette University Student Senate passed a resolution condemning “prejudicial attacks” on gays and lesbians , claiming that “On Marquette’s campus LGBTQ issues in the past have been overlooked” and that “LGBTQ individuals have been subjected to intentional and unintentional prejudicial attacks . . . .” This might seem bland enough, although actual harassment and discrimination against gays (and a long list of other groups) has long been against university rules

Marquette Student Government: No Free Speech About Homosexuality
From Matt Welch at Reason.com : In just about every speech at their 2008 convention, Democrats promised voters that a change in the White House would, in Barack Obama’s formulation, restore “our moral standing” in the world. Replace the unilateralist cowboy at the top with a humbler multilateralist, and the path would finally be cleared to fix vexing international issues such as curbing carbon emissions and dealing with the mullahs in Iran. Like many of the party faithful’s long-nurtured beliefs, this hope has disintegrated on contact with reality

Connie writes: I’m 29 and I have finally realized my ideal profession is to be an artist. However, in addition to the late start, I’ve had no formal training (only inherited talent) and becoming a painter seems to be a bad financial move. From my research a MFA is necessary to be considered a professional artist. Do I really want to spend $40,000 for a degree that doesn’t guarantee any return? But I just want to paint and I’m so tired of working in offices… How can I have a struggling career when I can’t afford the training?
