...believed to make more household viewing choices. But you wouldn't have known it by watching lately. Like post-9/11 politics, much post-9/11 TV has been manly and daddy-oriented. The networks have churned out CSI clones that have mostly male leads. After a ratings drop-off among young men last fall, executives blamed new shows starring women (Karen Sisco, Miss Match). Family sitcoms hew to the formula of lumpy guy with hot, smart but secondary wife. Bush's answer to the "strong women" question - that he learned "to listen to them" - was According to Jim politics...
...longer claim to be protecting its BGLTQ students against discrimination if its non-discrimination code can be overridden in order to give others a particular experience or benefit. If it is to allow the non-discrimination code take a backseat to expediency, the University ought simply to drop the code altogether.

...pollution emissions have dropped 7.8% since 2000, thanks mainly to enforcement of Clean Air Act standards passed before Bush took office. He did introduce rules to clean up off-road diesel-powered vehicles like farm tractors and bulldozers. Critics say the drop in water-quality complaints reflects laggard enforcement: criminal water-pollution prosecutions are down 28% since 2001. In 2002, Bush signed a law aimed at revitalizing abandoned urban industrial sites...
