Sick Building Syndrome exists only in the minds of trial lawyers. Doctors say the "mold" thing is a joke, too, because mold is everywhere. Just look in my fridge. h/t, Lucianne.
Having it both ways: Dems insisted that the felony concept be entered into the illegal immigration bill, then loudly complained about it. Pretty slick. Pretty slimy.

Is there a War on Christians in the US?
RTLC has a piece on Bush's terrible salesmanship, which he equates with poor leadership. I agree with most of what he says, except I am not sure that those two can be so easily equated.

What is truth? Powerline on the reporting on the legality of the NSA taps. John follows up by reviewing the transcript - and the NYT twisted its reporting - once again. They just cannot help it.
The courage that makes America great: Waldenbooks and Borders refuse to carry issue of magazine with Prophet cartoons.
A good idea from SDA:
...perhaps the time has come to send sports reporters to war zones. It seems to be one of the last refuges of journalism in which a) reporters have basic knowledge of the subject matter they're assigned to, and b) they're expected to report the details and outcome of the race, even if a contestant is injured or dies during competition.

From good ol' Orson Card, in a fine review of Three Books that Name Names, some interesting details about the women's vote:
If you don't include the African-American vote, which goes overwhelmingly for the Democrat almost every time, regardless of gender, we get a very different picture. "While women have been fickle voters, backing Reagan twice and George H.W. Bush in 1988 (but not 1992)," white males have opposed the Democratic candidate by a landslide in every presidential election since 1976.
"Al Gore received only 36 percent of the white male vote in 2000, John Kerry only 37 percent in 2004.... GOP congressional and gubernatorial candidates also typically win the white male vote by 20-point margins" (p.149).
Well, duh. When the Democratic Party keeps screaming that white men are wrong on everything and should be shut out and excluded in order for things to be more "fair," why exactly should white males vote for Democrats?
The real surprise is that John Kerry may have "carried the overall women's vote by 3 points," but he lost white women voters by 11 points.
