Editorial: House of cards
The fact that the so-called "American Values Agenda" would do little to constructively improve our daily lives - and the fact that its legislative tenets stand little chance of passage - makes no difference to House Republican leaders. They are perfectly willing to waste America's time in a transparent attempt to keep control of Congress.
Bishop's challenge
The fish-shaped earrings that hang beneath her short, curly brown hair offer a clue about Katharine Jefferts Schori's character, but it may not be what you think.
Rockets have little red glare
Oh, for the things that go boom in the night. Also, zip, whiz, crackle and hiss.
Letter: Free speech applies to Christians, too
Mr. Lipman turns the First Amendment against itself, which is not what the Founding Fathers intended to do. The First Amendment protects citizens' speech, while Lipman says it's OK to censor citizens' speech (only the religious speech).
Letter: Immigrants' duty is to learn our language

Letter: Supreme Court decision weakens America
The law of unintended consequences (for the ACLU and their ilk) applies in this case. Until now, our warriors have captured terrorists on the battlefield, sent them to Gitmo and interrogated them to get information necessary to save American lives (both on the battlefield and at home) with the intent of eventually giving them a trial.
Editorial: Fueling a new frontier
According to a story in Friday's Washington Post, environmentalists say Ford is backsliding from its commitments, while industry experts say the decision emphasizes the challenges of selling hybrid technology to the mainstream market.
Editorial: Dumping dopers
Ivan Basso, of Italy, and German Jan Ullrich - 1997 Tour winner, five-time runner-up and longtime rival of seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong - are among nine cyclists barred from this year's 21-stage race because they have been implicated in a doping probe in Spain.
