Since the Edwards' home is apparently a big deal to some people, I thought I should call attention to this post by Elizabeth.

We sold the conventional fuel SUV that we used to carry children, strollers, luggage and toys between Washington, DC and North Carolina, and we bought a hybrid, a Ford Escape.

Since we were building a home in Orange County, we decided to take advantage of some of the technology that President Carter had encouraged.  

All the water (all of which comes from wells) in our home and some of the flooring is heated with solar energy.

We built a highly energy efficient house. In fact, our home is Energy-Star rated. Energy Star is an EPA regulated designation for homes that are at least 30 percent more efficient than the national Model Energy Code.  In building we made sure we had effective insulation in floors, walls, and attics. We chose efficient heating and cooling equipment and high-performance windows.

Andrew Sullivan, who just a few days ago mocked the "Kossites" for putting "war on terror" in quotes, now appears skeptical about the alleged plot to blow up airliners flying from Britian to America.

He notices that no one has been charged, despite the fact that these guys had long been under surveillance.

Forgive me if my skepticism just ratcheted up a little notch.
