Reflections on the Standoff
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:15:44 PDT
The primary results in Pennsylvania appear to lengthen the amount of standoff time between Senators Obama and Clinton. Josh Marshall cleverly calls it "The Status Quo Ante." Barack Obama remains in the overall lead, while Hillary Clinton has another "big win" under her belt, thanks to gun owners and church-goers. Steve Benen wisely calls upon the super delegates to step up and make their decisions before it is too late for the party to recover from further bruising duels. To quote: I reserve
Khloe Kardashian Kwite Klear in Advice to Kim
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:16:00 PDT
As Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush continue to make entertainment news followers nauseous with their public displays of affection, the couple will be glad to know it has at least one fan: Kim’s stupidly-named sister, Khloe Kardashian, says the pair should get married. Maybe. But not too soon. It’s serious stuff, after all. “I hope they get married], I love Reggie. I think they complement each other,” Khloe kommented. “But I still think it’s early, I don’t know. People want to rush everything.

Children From Sect Are Dispersed by State Wed, 2008-04-23 12:16 — ABN By JOHN HOLUSHA Published: April 24, 2008 Scores of children from among the more than 400 who were seized from a polygamous sect’s ranch in west Texas three weeks ago are being dispersed across the state, to group homes and shelters as far as 500 miles away, according to the Associated Press and other news sources. Eight buses with 114 children began rolling out of the grounds of the sports arena in San Angelo, where the
Visiting San Diego?
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:16:11 PDT
San Diego is worth a visit. The city is charming and friendly with a world famous zoo, beautiful parks, perfect weather, and a thriving gay community. And although it is a military city that leans Republican, they are often of the pro-gay variety and the city is very supportive of its gay residents. However, not everyone will make you welcome. For example, much of the funding for the anti-gay marriage amendment in California came from San Diego. Among the major donors to Protect Marriage ar

TAKE ACTION: Join the walk-out protest against the pro-homosexuality-in-schools “Day of Silence” this Friday, April 25th, or in support of Alliance Defense Fund’s “Day of Truth” on Monday, April 28th. Folks, we need an official government investigation of the health risks of homosexual practices — especially among men. Until we get one, this Food & Drug Administration (FDA) statement will have to do. I challenge all those who make the dubious case that there is no disproportionately high

The Dallas Mavericks are on their way to losing in the first round, again. They have clearly fallen since their finals appearance 2 or 3 years ago. Chris Paul is single handedly torching them. Still not sure why any one would actively go an get Jason Kidd. We sent Devin Harris a young super quick, defender and up and coming star to the Nets. Paul is clearly making Kidd look old and slow. There was no defense which Coach Avery was supposed to be known for. It reminded me of when we traded

“The Left Wing…Kind of Admires American Terrorists”
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:18:52 PDT
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Fox News Friday night: “The left wing of the Democratic Party, frankly, kind of admires American terrorists.” By sheer coincidence, I happened to trip across the video after skimming over an article on one of American history’s most important but forgotten icons: Emma Goldman, one of the principle founders of the American genocide movement in the early part of the 20th century, anarchist, terrorist, inspiration for “Emmanuel Goldstein” in George Orwell’s n

Pistons - Sixers Game 2
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:19:26 PDT
The Pistons will try to even it up tonight at the Palace to take the series 1-1 to Philly. None of us could have guessed (not even Sixers fans) that Detroit would fall in the first game. Plenty of news worth quotes came out after the loss, but this one popped for me. "I hope that this doesn't happen, but if we were down 0-2, I still feel like we'd win the series," Billups said. "But I don't want to get there and have to prove you all of that." Via The Detroit Free Press I don't mind what Chau
