A Washington D.C. writer and stay-home dad serves up a good lesson in role reversal (and relationships) for Father's Day.

The man with the Constitution in his pocket: Senator Byrd discusses his KKK past in a new book.

Former Senator John Danforth makes the case for moderate Christianity in public life, and boosts his stock as one of the most coherent, impressive Republicans in or out of the game.

...meanwhile, the Southern Baptist Convention confronts the very real challenges of applying faith in daily life.

Schools are military recruiters face off over the provision of student info (note the little known clause in the No Child Left Behind Act that facilitates military access to your kid's vitals).

Also, Frank Rich delves into the multi-faceted world of fact-fakery, channelling Orson Wells to make the very depressing point that we've reached the age where almost everything is faked, from government reports (on everything from global warming to cattle grazing), to town hall meetings to war reports, to mushy-gushy celebrity romances (and lifestyle coverups...?) It's all entirely unbelievable (except, of course, for Jon Stewart. How sad that the most honest information you can get these days comes almost entirely from Comedy Central...)
