A PC warning:

If you load the "printer friendly" version of the editorial, and do a copy all and paste (or paste special formatted) into a Word document, you will find a "bookmark" at the top of the file in the first character space. A bookmark in the first character space triggers a known bug in some older versions of Word that may mangle your document when you reopen it. Either delete the bookmark before saving, or simply don't copy the first line, unless you're using a quite recent version of Word.


As to the article, I'm glad to see someone finally agree with me, and it's quite well put. I've read, saved, and likely will reread with check references at hand.

It does, IMO, gloss over the manipulation of Religious Conservatives to get the vote, and the imperative that the Conservative Agenda will be forced to give them some additional tidbits - not really core parts of the Agenda - to keep them voting as they've done; but a single article would be hard-put to cover all the damage that appears on the near horizon, if current Conservative politics are not restrained.
