- No less a serious academic journal than Rolling Stone is suggesting that W. is the worst president of the last 100 years, complete with a cover cartoon with the President wearing a dunce hat. Putting personal opinions aside, isn't it a little premature to jump to conclusions? And like this commentator says, if it matters, you gotta measure it, and the Rolling Stone piece does neither.

- Business investment up 16.4%.
- US exports up 12.1%.

- Presidential candidate Sen. George Allen (R-VA) is apparently a racist because he wore a Confederate flag pin in a 1970 high school yearbook photo. Let this be a lesson to all you kids out there who played with Dukes of Hazzard General Lee dinky cars: You'll never be president. Oh, and you had bad parents, too.

- One man's thoughtful plea for America to stay the course in Iraq.

- Oh, and I almost forgot: Devils in 4 over the Rangers. Sens are also into Round 2. Yeah, baby!
