It looks like 'moral issues' and 'family values' votes were the difference. That's especially frustrating considering this: Via Boston Globe, hat tip Philocrites: The state with the lowest divorce rate in the nation is Massachusetts.

I feel very guilty for ignoring the genocide in Sudan. I know it's happening, but I've put off posting because I'm too busy, or I've got something else to post about, or whatever. That's unacceptable. So here's my effort to make amends by offering a round-up of links about the crisis in Sudan. If you want to learn about what's happening in Danfur this is the post for you.

Albert Einstein may have been a genius, but he was not clever enough to avoid the classic honey pot, in his case a glamorous Soviet secret agent named Maria Konnenkova. Konnenkova dated Einstein in the 1940s in order to gain information on the top-secret Manhattan Project, the U.S. effort to develop the first nuclear bomb.

This David Brooks piece really hits the nail on the head. Hat Tip Josh Chafetz. It's been said that every society has two aristocracies. The members of the aristocracy of mind produce ideas, and pass along knowledge. The members of the aristocracy of money produce products and manage organizations. In our society these two groups happen to be engaged in a bitter conflict about everything from

Hybrids took some heat in Friday's USA Today, which I read on the plane on my way down to Raleigh this past weekend. So many people have complained about disappointing fuel economy of gas-electric hybrid cars that the federal government is telling automakers to consider putting more realistic mileage labels on their cars or do a better job warning buyers that they won't get the advertised mileage

Here's yet another weak link in the oil supply chain, via NYT (bolds are mine): The world's tanker fleet is already stretched thin by robust demand for oil, by looming deadlines for the phase-out of single-hull tankers for safety and environmental reasons, and by lengthening backlogs at the shipyards where new tankers are built. It is far from clear, experts say, whether the existing fleet can

George Will weighs in on the oil debate. He lays out some good information, but basically he's not very concerned:Oil produced the modern world -- its ways of work, warfare and recreation -- and soon, we are told, the end of cheap oil will produce abrupt, wrenching changes in the way we live. Changes, certainly, but not convulsions, because the modern world responds to price signals. Sure enough

Filmmaker Michael Moore said Friday he wasn't sure he did the right thing by saving footage of U.S. American soldiers' cruelty toward Iraqis for his controversial documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11,'' instead of releasing the evidence earlier when it might have helped halt such abuse.

The thing is, nobody knows exactly what to expect when the book arrives in stores on June 22.

Could "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" really be about drugs? For Beatles fans, a time of reckoning. Fast forward to this month's Uncut interview with Paul McCartney, who explains that "A song like 'Got to Get You Into My Life,' that's directly about pot, although everyone missed it at the time." "Day Tripper," he says, "that's one about acid. 'Lucy in the Sky,' that's pretty obvious. There's

Steven Den Beste doesn't like the idea of a "Manhattan Project" to reduce our dependence on Arab oil. To begin with, I don't think that this war was caused by our use of Arab petroleum. It would have happened eventually anyway. But even if it was caused by our use of Arab oil, that doesn't mean it will end if we cease using Arab oil.

David Ignatius, over at WaPo, makes his case for the gas tax, and adds a new twist. The reason the oil squeeze will only get worse can be stated in two words: China and India. As those countries become more prosperous, their consumption of energy will inevitably rise -- putting further pressure on the market. That part is pretty standard, but the interesting idea is one he credits to energy

The Most Powerful Man in Technology Journalism I read the Wired article on Mossberg on my way out to San Antonio earlier this week. I think Mossberg just came out with a review of Google. He didn't like how gmail scanned your email text for advertising purposes. I spent Sunday-Wednesday on Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio demo-ing our product.

Lab Creates Babies As Stem-Cell Donors Via AP: In a growing practice that troubles some ethicists, a Chicago laboratory helped create five healthy babies so that they could serve as stem-cell donors for their ailing brothers and sisters. The made-to-order infants, from different families, were screened and selected when they were still embryos to make sure they would be compatible donors. Their
