...Public Policy Center's Yuval Levin suggests a complementary policy agenda--"Putting Parents First," he calls it--aimed at those same swing voters. In foreign policy, the U.S. will still be at war in 2008--and despite Bush's travails, Republicans still seem likely to be able to claim to be the party of American strength...
There's no nice way to say it: movies love murderers. Producers may claim the killer's story is a cautionary tale, but they revel--along with the villain and the audience--in the sick grandeur of a hit man, a supervillain, a serial killer. Movies used to show what the audience wanted to be. Then Norman Bates came along, and Freddy and Jason, and Hannibal Lecter, to prove that we also wanted to see what we feared.

Even if conventional foods don't turn out to be as dangerous as organic advocates claim, several recent studies have suggested that organic foods contain higher levels of vitamins than their conventionally grown counterparts. In a paper published in October in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a team from the University of California, Davis, demonstrates that organically grown tomatoes have significantly more vitamin C than conventional tomatoes. Even so, the same study shows no significant differences between conventional and organic bell peppers...
...they observe it twice as often?” Retsky’s research is again raising eyebrows. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, said he was skeptical. “The problem here is, there is little evidence provided to back up the claim.

Claiming that he was "God’s messenger," he advocated for the complete dismantling of Israel. Unfortunately, this represented a relatively moderate view for Weiss, who as a defender of Ahmadinejad, has implicitly adopted the Iranian President’s message that Israel, and its six million Jews, should be "wiped off the map." Nonetheless, Weiss had the audacity—some might say willful ignorance—to claim that Ahmadinejad’s call...
