- I understand John Edwards’ point — it is important to drive fuel-efficient vehicles, carpool, take public transportation — however, how am I supposed to go camping, or skiing, up in Tahoe without my SUV?
- The long, slow death of Senator Larry Craig’s political career is underway. Would it have been a lesser issue if it weren’t for the hypocriticism? “The irony [is] not nearly so keen as when a self-proclaimed bearer of ‘traditional family values’ finds himself (and it’s almost always a ‘him’) accused of engaging in behavior that he has condemned.“
- Just what the democrats need, a fundraising scandal. Just cool your jets, guys (and gal), this one should be easy. (I stress “should.”)
- The San Francisco Bay Area is looking to “restore about 36,000 acres of once-diked wetlands and double the amount of tidal marsh ringing San Francisco Bay.” Total cost: $1.43 billion. It’s worth it.
- And there was a minor earthquake in the bay area yesterday, but I already reported it, so what’s the deal?

Regarding Sen. Craig, it’s always the most pious, most preachy, most judgmental moralists who are the ones with lots of skeletons in the closet (no reference to the senator’s sexuality intended). Craig’s political career is indeed D.O.A.
