...Notwithstanding the fact that the "buy American" provision in Sutton's bill - which has the support of U.S. automakers and the United Auto Workers union - might violate free-trade agreements if the bill is ever passed, greens are more worried about its extremely low standards. Refusing to put a mileage requirement on clunkers means that even relatively efficient cars could be traded in, provided they're at least a decade old.

...Public gaffes like that one may explain the anti-Catholic backlash driving similar movements elsewhere in the world. In October last year, Italy's Union of Rationalist Atheist and Agnostics sponsored the country's first-ever "De-baptism Day," when the no-longer faithful attended protests and passed out de-baptism forms to areligious people who didn't have internet connections to download them. More recently, on March 2, atheists and feminists in Argentina teamed up to launch the "Not in my Name" Internet campaign which encourages Roman Catholics to notify their local bishops of their desire to officially leave...
