Those of you who are men, or married, or women, or thinking of getting married, might find something interesting in today’s New York Times article about trends in infidelity: The lifetime rate of infidelity for men over 60 increased to 28 percent in 2006, up from 20 percent in 1991.

You don’t have to be a hyper-sensitive liberal to think the latest McCain ad is deisgned to stimulate racial resenment. Conservative Rod Dreher explains. Man, they’re letting it all hang out, aren’t they? Telling white working-class people that Obama’s going to take their money and give it to the nigras. There’s good ol’ Joe the…

In the infomercial Wednesday, Michelle Obama told how Barack read all of the Harry Potter books to his daughter. I wonder if they realized that they’d meandered into a culture war mine field.

For those Democrats freaked out by the Gallup poll two days ago showing the race had tightened to two points in their traditional model, you’ll be happy to see today’s poll has that spread back up to five points.

Wow. Apparently the voice at the end saying “there is no God” is someone attempting to impersonate Dole’s opponent, Kay Hagen.I have to say, as a political matter, if you’re running for Senate in North Carolina, you might want to think twice about attending a Godless Americans PAC fundraiser. (Who knew there were such things?)…
