President Bush said yesterday that he sees a third awakening taking place in America. When were the first and second awakenings, and what is he talking about? More on this later, but he’s speaking in code (again) to Evangelical Christians — and just in time for the fall election season!
In the Rhode Island primary, Chafee wins, making it less likely Democrats will take that Senate seat.
In the New York primary, Clinton and Spitzer win, with Clinton described as having “swamped” her anti-war challenger. A good omen for Cantwell in next Tuesday’s Washington State primary?
In Nova Scotia, the gossip involves Condoleezza Rice and Canadian Foreign Minister Peter MacKay.
In Baghdad, violence is flaring (again).
In Seattle, signs of a cooling housing market, while in downtown Seattle, a $1 million luxury condo is becoming a comparative bargain.
In the Internets, Lonelygirl15 has been revealed.
And in the land of tea, a new bag.
That's so weird, the fuss about Rice and Mackay. I remember when Jack Straw was still Foreign Minister and the press would make such a big deal out of their relationship, how there was supposedly palpable romantic tension and that he acted like a schoolboy with a crush when they were together. I do think it's a bit sexist that when our secretary of state, who happens to be a single woman, has any meeting with a counterpart who is also single, the media feel the need to speculate on these things. Maybe sexist is too strong a word, but it's really strange.
