Fred Wins, Chris Loses (Update: My Prediction Comes True) — The first debate with Fred Thompson was expected to reveal whether the lanky actor had what it takes to make a national run for the office.

When Rhetoric Meets Reality — I was talking to Tim via AOL IM, and I decided it was probably worthwhile to bring this up for everyone. One of the things that is so surprising (for me, at least) about the whole Graeme Frost episode is that rather than make their case against this program …
