The blogosphere’s loss. . .

is dead-tree journalism’s gain. Mark Tapscott, the proprietor of the outstanding blog Tapscott’s Copy Desk, is returning to print journalism. He will be taking over as as editorial page editor of The Washington Examiner and will also serve as a member of the Examiner’s national editorial board.

Mark’s not done as a blogger yet, though. Here he points us to a survey showing a large increase in the number of adult Americans who profess beliefs that qualify them as “Born-Again” Christians. The increase is being powered by a significant increase in Born-Again conversions among Baby Boomers.

Mark wonders whether this development will be “the sleeper fact of the 2006 elections.”
