| God, good science can coexist | From the left: Andrea Sarvady You've just entered the lab of critical thinking. Let's start by putting this week's question under a microscope. See any reality mutations? There's simply not a visceral negative reaction to scientists exploring alternatives to anything - why, that's what scientists do. Contrarian by nature and unwilling to settle for guesswork, they're portrayed only as peer-obsessed cowards when nonscientists don't like the answers they're getting. |

| Democrats say let the contest continue - USATODAY.com On the eve of the West Virginia primary, most Democrats nationally say Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton should continue the campaign, but more now say that it's time for Clinton to quit. Huh, Susan Page wrote this article. She's a regular sit-in on the Diane Rehm show. |

| President makes difference | argusleader.com | Argus Leader To think that George W. Bush, in each of his campaigns for the presidency, portrayed his opponent as being unfit to lead our nation. Pathetic. |
| MWC News - A Site Without Borders - - Sabotage, Division, or Sedition After his sermon at the National Press Club in April, there was renewed uproar in my parish about Rev. Wright, based on the belief, asserted no doubt in many other circles, that Jeremiah Wright was now egotistically, upstaging his former parishioner. |

| New tax could fund health insurance programs- mlive.com There's a push under way to provide a local solution to a national heath care crisis. And it may require your vote on a countywide property tax proposal on Nov. 4. First, it's going to the Bay County Board of Commissioners for consideration. Linda Hamacher, executive director of the Bay Health Plan, is expected to give a 37-page PowerPoint presentation on the need for a health services millage at 9 a.m. Tuesday before the County Board. That's interesting. A "health services" county millage. I think it just might not be a bad idea. |

| Townhall.com::Has the US Run Amuck Constitutionally?::By Chuck Norris Who decides whether war continues or not in Iraq? Some might answer Gen. David Petraeus. Others might say Congress. But most probably believe the president has oversight of foreign and war policies. After all, he is the commander in chief, correct? I'm mildly surprised here. Chuck Norris endorsed Huckabee who, in his stump speeches mad no bones about amending the Constitution so it's in God's standards. What's up with that Chuck? |

All I can figure is that presidential candidates John McCain and Hillary Clinton must have been swilling Guinness before deciding to endorse a summertime federal gas-tax holiday. |
