I could have sworn
this was from
The Onion. But, unsurprisingly, it's not. John Kerry gave a campaign speech at a church and quoted the Book of James to describe the Bush administration: "The Scriptures say: `What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?" The Bush campaign responded by saying this was "beyond the bounds of acceptable discourse, and a sad exploitation of Scripture for a political attack.'' Really. Captain Jesus and friends say religion is out of bounds.

Atrios watches the O'Reilly Factor so you don't have to:
O'REILLY: Thanks for staying with us. I'm Bill O'Reilly.
In THE FACTOR "Follow-Up" Segment tonight, we've been following the various demographic shifts throughout America, and now the Census Bureau estimates, by the year 2050, white Americans will make up less than 50 percent of the population...
*snip*
WILLIAM FREY, PH.D., BROOKINGS INSTITUTION: Well, I really think what's happening is going to be this phasing out or fading out of the white baby boom population. It is a 50-year time period we're talking about...
O'REILLY [who's not xenophobic! Really!]: Yes. We'll all be dead. Thank God, right?

According to USA Today, Bill Frist's demands to declassify all of Richard Clarke's classified testimony from the Bush administration in hopes of finding something to discredit him have been joined by -
Richard Clarke. Except, I have to imagine his reasons are more along the lines of proving he DIDN'T perjure himself at any point. Anyway, I value full disclosure, so the fact that he's willing to provide it makes me more likely to beleive Mr. Clarke's story. Assuming, of course, there's nothing in these soon-to-be-released documents that DOES contradict it.

Apparently Canada has so much uninhabited land in the far north that they have to occasionally sweep through with troops to make sure no one else is planting a flag and claiming it in the name of Spain. Such a plan, code name
Polar Epsilon, is underway now.
