Slog - Comments on The Morning News http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/the_morning_news_139 Iraq’s intelligence agency appears to be back in the torture business. At least 26 dead, 54 wounded in latest Baghdad suicide bombing. The Bush administration has no backup plan for Iraq—unless you count “Plan B is to make Plan A work” as a backup plan. Asian stock markets took another tumble last night. Wall Street, so far, is mixed. John Edwards responded Sunday to being called a “faggot” by Ann Coulter: "I think its important that we not reward hateful, selfish, childish behavior with attention," Edwards told reporters in Berkley, Calif. "I also believe that is important for all of...

I'm all for full figured curvy women, but wow. Can you imagine? Yikes!

(I know, I'm an A-H)

my question is, are someone's money problems really 'news' even in a local paper like that one? why is there a quote about spending money on dogs?

Traffic cameras are a great, cheap way to catch people who run red lights. (As a frequent pedestrian, I'm thrilled.)

I'd rather they use cameras than cops, who cost much more and should be used for crimes that can't be solved by a video camera.

It's easy to not have "Big Brother" breathing down your neck: don't run red lights.

She accidentally swallowed a baby because the biological mom set the baby down too close to the obese woman's plate of food.

I went through the yellow once at one of those, but perhaps shouldn't have, and saw the little flash of light of the camera, and worried for a while.

Ha, ha. Imagine the hilarity if someone were to break a beer bottle and threaten to bury it in her scrawny ass canal, but instead just inserted it halfway.

When I called the Times on Sunday and asked why they had not run the story, they seemed unsure as to what I was referring to. When I called them this morning and asked why they still had not run the story, they acknowledged that it was a "big story", but did not know that they had not published anything about it.
Today on her website, Coulter accused the Edwards campaign of being "a front for Arab terrorists". Yes, that is a quote.
Please call the RNC stenographers at the Seattle Times and ask them to justify their hypocrisy.

Which, is, of course, legal.

what has happened to those soldiers is a travesty, and the army's response so far is not inspiring confidence in their ability to clean up their own mess.
