Bush didn't speak out on partisan bickering during the fiercest, most personal manifestation of it two years ago, but he wants to end it now, when partisan bickering could clarify the issues. In the last debate, Bush took credit for passing a bill allowing patients to sue HMOs, when he actually fought it. But when he's not falsely claiming credit, he is glossing over the details of what it would really take to deliver love--say, in the form of prescription drugs--to ordinary Americans. He seeks refuge in the mantra, "I trust the people, not the government...

...with open arms. For years now, their concerns have been ignored by auto executives who insisted there was no way to improve fuel efficiency and still give consumers the cars they want. The rise of sport utility vehicles only served to exacerbate the tensions between the industry and its fiercest detractors. But now that Ford, ironically once one of the movement's most hated adversaries (think of the Expedition), has made good on a pledge to examine better ways to fuel its cars and trucks, environmentalists may see a light at the end of the tunnel - as well...
...higher court extends the injunction that has obliged him to stay.
