On politics (which ain't beanbag), conservative ideas and politics (in general, we should oppose any attempt to immanentize the eschaton), sports (when does football season start?), teaching and education (polished apples are welcome), and pop culture.

There is some good news out there for the GOP...

Jim Geraghty reports that it's likely that Republican challengers will defeat at least 3 Democratic incumbents in House races.

Joe Biden made another gaffe--Obama has said his tax increases will apply only to those making $250,000 a year; now Biden has said they hit those making $150,000 per year.
The McCain-Palin campaign is hitting this hard today, by all accounts.

And the Gallup traditional daily tracking poll has the race very, very close--only a two point difference.
