- The Election Choice: Health Care (WSJ)
- Pro-Life Politicians Have Made a Difference; Pro-Life Laws Work (Michael J. New, Public Discourse) Yes they have and yes they do.
- Just Look
- Media's Presidential Bias and Decline (Michael Malone, ABC News)
- We don't need another war on poverty (Steven Malanga, City Journal) No, but it seems we are likely to get a war on prosperity in the name of a war on poverty (or should that be vice-versa?).
- The Age of Prosperity Is Over (Art Laffer, WSJ)
- The Next New Deal (John Heilemann, NY Mag)
- Power in hands of few replaces liberty for all (John Kass, Chicago Tribune)

- Sudan 'could face new Darfur war' (BBC News)
- A Revolution in the Making in Darfur (Savo Heleta, AllAfrica.com)
- With season on brink, Dallas Cowboys defense comes through (Randy Galloway, FWST) It ought to turn in performances like this more often, given the talent and the pedigree of the coaches.
- Texans better than history, record shows (Jerome Solomon, Houston Chronicle) As the Jersey Con Man has said more than once, you are what you are. The Texans had a good game. If they ever put together a lot of good games, they can be thought of as a good team. Not until then.
- Rockets poised to have dream season (Richard Justice, Houston Chronicle) Chron sports hacks never seem bothered by how silly they look with pom poms.
- Dallas Cowboys concerned with Brad Johnson's passing effectiveness (Ed Werder, ESPN.com) Genius GM Jerruh should have been concerned about this a long time ago. After all, he’s already been through not having an adequate backup once with a Super Bowl caliber team (Babe Laufenberg is a much better commentator than he was backup QB!).
- The Opportunity City weathers all storms (Tory Gattis, NewGeography)
- Sign stealing (Off the Kuff) Kuffner is right that stealing political signs is lame. But I also laugh at people who will clutter a perfectly nice property with ugly political signs. It just looks awful. It will be nice when the election passes and the signs (and political ads) can go away for a little while.

- The Weak Euro: An American Traveler’s Delight? (World Hum) Definitely!
