Again from Art Rhodes: Overall, the third debate was by far McCain’s best performance.

It's not that uncommon to see grandparents raising grandchildren. But in the UK, some social service workers would prefer that children go elsewhere, as is evident here: I was at a meeting ten days ago that reminded me of the Soviet Union at its most obstructive, bureaucratic and inhumane. I was there to support two …

“The Repentant Fundamentalist” Also Repents of Dialogue
I suppose I should have known better. Earlier today I posted a response to anti-fundamentalist James Alexander's piece, "So...am I right about this stuff?" You can read my response here.
