...RICK WAGONER, CEO of General Motors, on problems at its domestic operations. The world's largest carmaker last week slashed its full-year earnings forecast by more than half
...correct to describe that encounter as a spiritual one. But it seems to me it was more than that. It was, in the minds and souls of both human beings, an encounter with God. Smith's weapon, it appears, was a hugely popular book, The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren, an unabashedly Christian guide to making it through life's highs and lows by constantly asking what God has intended for you.

Although Frist’s time as a Senator hasn’t been marked with the ridiculous remarks the public has come to expect from such GOP greats as Rick Santorum or Trent Lott, one would be hard-pressed to find differences in their voting records on major issues. Frist is no John McCain. Further, any trace of moderation that Frist previously exhibited will be crowded out by his need to curry favor with the far right. As a prominent Democrat...
