The Pat Tillman reinvestigation is set to begin... although the guy promising to get a full accounting for the Tillman family is the same guy who says things are going swimmingly in Iraq...
The SupCo backs the government's position that colleges and universities that refuse to allow military recruiters on campus can be stripped of federal funding. This was a big issue on the Harvard campus when I was there, and essentially, I have to come down on the government's side on this one. Campuses certainly have the right to oppose military recruiting (essentially by an arm of the federal government, which the military is,) and to eschew the military's ban on open service by gays. But if that's their stance they should also be willing to walk away from the money for principle, rather than trying to have it both ways.
More explosions in Iraq. Peter Pace, please take note of how well things are going ...
The Hamas-dominated Palestinian parliament voids all decisions of the previous, Fatah-led body...
AT&T's bid to take over BellSouth, our main phone company down here in Fla, could cost thousands of jobs...
And not surprisingly, this year's Oscar ratings were down (by 10 percent), as I'm sure conservative-leaning red staters rented a family-oriented movie instead, believing that Sunday would be a night of gay revelry at the House of Disney. Psst! Righties! "Crash" took Best Picture! Oh, wait, that one's about racism ... not your bag, either...
And in ... can we call this entertainment...? Michael Jackson reportedly used threats and intimidation to squash a tell-all book by his older brother Jermaine. Isn't this the same Jermaine who was defending Jacko on television amid the latest child molestation accusations last year...? In the book he was apparently shopping before Michael threatened to throw him out of his house (rather, Michael's house), Jermaine was prepared to tell a very different story... Makes you wonder. Remember when LaToya Jackson at one point called out her brother on his predaliction for young boys, and then suddenly, took it all back? There were rumors of threats and intimidation then, too. And now Jacko is running loose in the Arab kingdom, with his veiled kids in tow. So sad...
