• Study shows people are moving to ... Michigan?

  • Not totally useful. It reports on one (that's 1) business's contracts spread across all 50 states and all Canadian provinces. There's no way of knowing whether Atlas Van Lines has better name recognition in some states than others, or among people working in some industries than in others.

  • I didn't trust the statistical sampling in the polls. Some of my suspicions were borne out.

• Would John McCain have fared better with a different running mate?

  • Why not Kay Bailey Hutchinson? Susan Collins? Olympia Snowe? Heather Wilson? Even Connie Rice? So many qualified GOP women. Why Palin?

• Did you cross party lines when you voted for president?

  • While I agree that parents need to set a good example for kids, I don't think this is an issue that can be discussed through a black-and-white "law-and-order" lense. Whether we like it or not, people ignore alcohol laws. They have a long track record of being ineffective laws.

  • This study is a big duh. Of course most of them got it from adults. Only adults can buy alcohol legally. Aside from the probably relatively few cases where a minor was able to steal booze or use a fake ID to get it, there had to have been someone over 21 somewhere in the supply chain.

• Rachael Ray ad pulled as pundit sees terror link
