How the other half thinks? --
The Village Voice's Rick Perlstein spends some time with Bush's True Believers and shows us how deep it goes. No, I don't think all of "the other half" feel the way these Believers do. I suspect that some of them know Bush is a contrivance, but as long as he's making them money, they'll sing as loud as anyone. Still, I am mystified that Bush carries as many as he does. I'm hoping What's the Matter With Kansas? will clear this up for me.

Army rations to include pee soup? --
No, that's not a typo.
