Above: President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama’s hands rest on the railing of a boat during their tour of St. Andrews Bay in Panama City Beach, Fla., Sunday, Aug. 15, 2010.

Links of the Day, November 25
Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
- Eugene Cho blogs; warning: some disturbing images.
News
- The first state dinner: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
- Google refuses to take down a racist image of Michelle Obama from its search results. I find it interesting that we (in the US) often defend freedom of speech even when it rolls into abuse/misuse of this freedom.
- On Deadly Viper: An open letter from Sojourners to Zondervan.
