11/21/07 Sweatshop Crosses, AP. Crosses being sold by St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Trinity Church are linked to a Chinese factory with sweatshop conditions. An effective target for Charles Kernaghan, who gets credit for circumstantial links connecting a sweatshop with the product and the product to the churches.

In July 2004, a commentator on the Presidential election noted that it was 156 years since the Seneca Falls convention for women's rights. Even though Barack Obama was giving the keynote speech that month at the Democratic Convention, the commentator said it would be "ridiculous" to associate the 1848 convention with the Democratic Party. Now it's the 160th anniversary year of Seneca Falls and we have two good reasons for associating that historic event with the Democratic Party - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
