POPSEconomic Flexibility vs Family Values This is a very opinionated article, but I think it at least raises an interesting question about whether the economic and social ideals of the Republican party are at odds with each other.

POPSWar Propaganda or Reality? It's really hard to tell what's true these days. I don't doubt that insurgents and terrorists are Internet-savvy and are interested in the results of the US elections. I'm not sure that I buy the fact that they want Bush to be weakened. Intelligence sources have confirmed that strong US presence is a great recruiting source for them. A weaker Bush might lead to less recruiting. It might not, though... Either way, starting a new propaganda unit to fight the terrorists seems like an odd move --- mostly because the propaganda will be directed as much at the US people as it is at Iraqis. I would rather have better raw news sources than filtered information through any such unit.

POPSNY Times Opinion on the Border Fence I've never been a fan of the border fence. It seems to me that it's only going to keep out the lazy, not the determined. I don't think that spending billions to build (how much to maintain?!) a fence that won't be very effective makes any sense.
