WHAT MAKES AMERICA EXCEPTIONAL: Jeff Jarvis lists some things, and asks readers for more.

THE KERRY MIRACLE? I guess God really is a Democrat. . . .

SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE EXPERIENCE with this wireless printer from HP? I’d like to set up wireless printing, but from what I’ve heard it’s not really ready for primetime, and the reviews on this thing’s Amazon page are, um, mixed.

What I’d like is a printer that will simply print from any wi-fi computer in range without any networking setup at all. I don’t think that such a beast exists. Am I wrong?

PAKISTANI NUCLEAR SCIENTIST — AND SALESMAN — ABDUL QADEER KHAN, has reportedly suffered a heart attack. So, interestingly, did his wife, who was reportedly threatening to release incriminating information if Khan were jailed or harmed. Keep an eye on his daughter.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani government is denying the whole thing.

THE IMAGE TO YOUR RIGHT is not from the official Associated Press NASCAR vehicle, but you might think otherwise from reading this AP story by Scott Lindlaw on Bush at NASCAR, which contains such gems as this one:

With his wife, Laura, trailing him, Bush walked the pit, mingling with drivers, shaking hands with fans. He peered into car No. 16, sponsored by the National Guard, and if the car reminded him of the tempest swirling around his own service in the Texas Air National Guard, he didn’t show it.

(Emphasis added.) Nope, no bias there. None here, either:

He spent an unusually long time at the race – more than 2 1/2 hours, compared to the 55 minutes he planned at a Monday event on the economy across Florida in Tampa.

Message: I don’t care! Reader Rick Giovanelli, who sent the link, comments: “Give me a break, I can’t even read the sports websites now without seeing this nonsense?” Apparently not. At least until after the election. . . .

UPDATE: People wonder where I got that picture. It’s actually a crop from this one, which I shot yesterday at a stoplight.

ANOTHER BLOGGER is running for office.
