- Al Gore Nobel speech: Rumors of my demise were greatly exaggerated
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Think Progress

- Crooks and Liars » Bong Hits For Jesus
  Posted by theangryindian from Crooks and Liars
  The phrase doesn’t make any sense, and it wasn’t supposed to. 18 year old high school senior Joseph Frederick unfurled the 14 foot banner on a public sidewalk across the street from the high school during a non-school event. High school administrator Deborah Morse confiscated the banner and suspended Frederick for “advocating drug use” evidently in view of other high school students.

I’m a precinct captain for Obama’s campaign in Nevada. He’s going to do well here. I think Hillary got a pass in NH. It won’t be so easy from here on in.

True enough. I can’t help but see Hilllary’s ever-changing (and potentially dishonest) tactics alienating all of the other current candidates if they haven’t already. If/when Edwards AND Kucinich (especially Kucinich) bow out I’m pretty sure both would advocate that their suporters take to the Obama camp – especially because doing so increases their favourability to wind up in prominent roles in Obama’s administration.
