Just a quick update on the Washington Post front: Dan Froomkin, who originally reported President Bush’s upcoming Calvin speech on his blog, is re-thinking his opinion of Calvin [i:3103a6cc43](scroll down to the “The Calvin College Rebellion” heading)[/i:3103a6cc43]. Apparently Mr. Froomkin assumed too much in his initial characterization of the institution:

On closer inspection, it turns out that Calvin College is not the bastion of the Christian Right it appeared to be. In fact, judging from my e-mail, it’s a veritable hotbed of those other Christian values — the ones that oppose war, work for social justice, and don’t think much of the president at all.

Daily Kos has an interesting response to the Washington Post coverage.
