Matters Scandal and Editorial, as in Charles Krauthammer's piece on the fake documents scandal and its investigation at CBS.

Charles Krauthammer has the clearest exposition I've read on the investigation of the CBS/Dan Rather use of faked documents for a Bush hit piece.

Matters Editorial and Personal, as in my opinion piece on Hispanic immigrants that appeared in today's Evansville Courier and Press.

My opinion piece, which begins, "Wake up and smell the refried beans!" was published today in the Evansville Courier and Press. (you'll have to register, then scroll down to find it.) Also, it was linked at Glenn Spencer's website, www.americanpatrol.com which covers immigration issues everyday.

Matters Illegal and Political, as in the impact of illegal immigrants on Congressional representation and the Electoral College.

The Center for Immigration Studies issued this report in October of 2003 pointing out that because illegal immigrants are counted in the US census, states like Indiana have been denied another seat in the U.S. House of Representatives (and thus one fewer electoral vote), because of high numbers of illegal immigrants in states like California.
