"Tell us about Palin," Mrs. Clinton replied: "I don't think that's what this election is about.

The rest of the camp should follow her lead. Making Palin the issue is a loser for the Dems.

I apologize for the above post - after seeing his picture...

Keep apologizing. He's with the Alvin Ailey Co.

The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from the now fabled performance in March 1958, at the 92nd Street Young Men's Hebrew Association in New York. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African-American modern dancers, that performance changed forever the perception of American dance.

Today, led by Artistic Director, Judith Jamison, AAADT has gone on to perform for an estimated 21 million people in 48 states and in 71 countries on six continents, including two historic residencies in South Africa. The company has earned a reputation as one of the most acclaimed international ambassadors of American culture, promoting the uniqueness of the African-American cultural experience and the preservation and enrichment of the American modern dance.

"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig." -- Obama

Someone should warn him that those self-retorting retorts can be a real bitch!

Phoenix--are those photoshopped? lol -- Murphy

Absolutely not! Nixon was an avid bowler.

Whoever went over this speech and didn't flag those comments as possibly misogynistic as their head lodged somewhere in their lower intestines. -- onioncake

...especially given the history of his candidacy. What a maroon.

Richard M Nixon is rolling in his grave. -- shirtsbyeric

Fuhrman is a classic example of an out of control cop. -- nutcase

It sounds like you're making a "one bad apple" argument. What was stunning, though, was that he had remained on the force even though everyone knew how bad he was. That, Rampart CRASH, and the Rodney King beating meant the entire LAPD had no credibility in a lot of people's eyes.

The simple truth is enough money thrown at the problem can cover any truth... -- nutcase

That was another friend's take -- that a rich black man getting away with the same travesty of justice that rich white men do is a hollow victory at best.

the government should get out of the "marriage" business altogether and sanction civil unions only. -- HC

Yeah, I agree.

So you believe Blacks are justified in being in favor of letting a Black murderer go free just to stick it to Whitey? -- fwthom

??? Where do you get that motive? Juries can't convict if there's reasonable doubt, and key evidence was handled by Mark Fuhrman. Fuhrman was later convicted of perjury in the trial, and in part of his testimony, invoked the fifth when asked if he had ever falsified police reports or manufactured or planted evidence in the O.J. case. With apologies, here's a quote from Fuhrman:

"Yeah we work with niggers and gangs. You can take one of these niggers, drag 'em into the alley and beat the shit out of them and kick them. You can see them twitch. It really relieves your tension."

Interesting, even 45% of democtats are for the amendment.

I haven't seen survey results recently, but typically the % opposing civil unions is much smaller than the % opposing gay marriage -- perhaps because the latter is a religious rite for many people as well as a legal status.

After clinching the primary, Obama's lost his nerve, completely. --RisR

He's definitely flailing. Appears to be much more comfortable as someone surpassing low expectations than as a frontrunner lagging behind high expectations.

He flipflopped on the three major issues he was campaigning against, in his mad dash back to the middle. There goes Iraq, FISA, and Gitmo. -- RisR

I think you're giving him too much credit for ever having any coherent policy views.

Oh, okay. (Wasn't disagreeing before; just couldn't figure out what you were trying to say.)

9pm EST is also a very popular slot for Xena:Warrior Princess, so she's going to have a real fight on her hands.
She also has to worry that the Golf Channel will air LPGA highlights as well. -- #18 | Posted by 101Chairborne

...couldn't you find someone that would appeals to both sexes? --#34 | Posted by wisgod

You mean you guys watched Ohlberman & Matthews for their sex appeal?

How about some jury anti-nullification this time? Just to even the score. -- Nulli

Hey Nulli,

What do you mean by this?

I had a hard time with his last trial. I think he was guilty, but couldn't convict a black man based on evidence Mark Fuhrman handled.

I'll say this, if Biden seems to be mean to her, all she's gotta do is shed a single tear, or look like she's holding one back and Biden is screwed. -- HC

You're kidding, right? First, do you really think she'd do that? But second, her foreign policy credibility goes out the window if she crumbles at the feet of Joe Biden.

Ordinary Americans are used to working with women -- which means criticizing them fairly when it's appropriate. The problem someone like Biden may have is that he's been working in a predominantly male enclave so long that he doesn't know how to deal with women professionally.

Taxes aimed at commercial trucks mean diesel costs anywhere from 40 cents to $1 more per gallon than gasoline. Add to this the success of the Toyota Prius, and you can see why only 3% of cars in the U.S. use diesel.

Interesting. I understand (and agree with) taxing commercial truck mileage, since they're hard on the roads and gas taxes go into the highway fund. But I wonder if there's a better way to do it.

By 12th grade, 60 percent of high-school girls are sexually active..

If we can't get that number down then the results will continue to be appalling. -- Eberly

I doubt you can get that number down.

The list of what's been tried includes castigating the girls for being sluts, turning pregnant teens into pariahs, and making abortion safe and legal -- all strategies focusing on the girls.

Maybe it's time to start focusing on the boys.

The best part is that they're describing him as "the suspect" -- i.e., they haven't caught him!

Now it will be interesting to see how the "librul media" treats this.

They've already blown it:

Over half of U.S. voters (51%) think reporters are trying to hurt Sarah Palin with their news coverage, and 24% say those stories make them more likely to vote for Republican presidential candidate John McCain in November.

For those of you describing her as a nod to what you called "the vagina vote":

She earns positive reviews from 65% of men and 52% of women.

Traffic's through the roof. -- Rcade

A toast to the new gerbils!

At least Tony seems to be a man of his word...

For his kids' sake, let's hope not.

If Obama or Biden beats her up she will cry sexism and that the boys are not playing nice.

Right, and we all know how little tolerance American voters have for sexism.

When Hillary does it.... well she could say the same thing.

Better, she can ask why they think so little of the VP candidate that they wouldn't let him face her.

Hey Corky,
