The California Attorney General reports that hate crimes are down in California for the fourth year in a row. Good, but we'll take it with a grain of salt given the difficulty of deciding which crimes are "hate crimes."

Also, it doesn't help one's credibility much to send out studies with emails like this: "This e-mail is to nortify you, as you requested, of the availablity of new statisticks." Now, we don't claim perfection in proofreading ourselves, but this is ridiculous.
