Here’s a report on the EU parliament debate over religious speech regulations. Parliament will vote on resolutions on this subject tomorrow.

Bill Nienhuis at PunditGuy raises questions about the media’s coverage of Harry Whittington’s medical condition.

Fox News’s Brit Hume has the exclusive interview with VP Cheney tonight.

It looks like Hillary didn’t take my advice.

On a separate programming note, I’m in Ohio today for a speaking engagement at my alma mater, Oberlin College.

Lorie Byrd at Polipundit has much more.

Also good reading on the WMD story from Jeff Goldstein.
