News Roundup

New posts below, news links here:

Well this is good news considering I'm flying there on Sunday. At the risk of jinxing things, at least there were no major plane crashes this week...wait, wouldn't that mean that the odds for one are better?

Mary J. Blige on racism. She needs to wake up and see how far she's made it in this country.

Recalling Governor Blanco in LA. Louisiana Libertarian has the info.

Larry Bernard on the Al Gore/Bob Barr anti-Bush tirade.

Check out Lady Heather's site. Worth your time.

Update: Anytime someone takes this kind of whack at Teddy Kennedy, it's worth posting:

TED KENNEDY is deeply troubled by the ethics of the Supreme Court nominee. Between 2001 and 2006, Samuel Alito, who is currently an appeals court judge, accepted $7,684,423 in “donations” from special interests who perhaps wanted the law tweaked in their favour. That included $28,000 from defence contractors, $42,200 from drug firms and a whopping $745,373 from lawyers and law firms.

No, wait. Those are Senator Kennedy's conflicts of interest—or, rather, a brief excerpt from a long list compiled by the Centre for Responsive Politics. The lapse for which the senator berated Mr Alito was considerably less clear-cut.

Kind of makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Update: More thoughts here.

And lastly, the picture that sums up the Donks week:
