What else has been happening on the web this week? Time for a weekend link round-up!

  • Boston Mayor Thomas Menino admits that, okay, maybe his threat against Chick-Fil-A isn?t so legit and he can?t really physically keep them out of the city if they want to be there. ~ Gawker
  • Meanwhile, civil rights litigator Glenn Greenwald examines Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel?s similar threat against Chick-Fil-A and puts forth that, even if you don?t agree with the fast food chain?s beliefs, maybe supporting one group?s civil rights by silencing another group?s free speech isn?t the best plan. ~ Slate
