I’m just saying… ‘Send Them a Message’ Voting from The Nation, by John Nichols, 02/09/2004 Name the Democratic presidential candidates who scored unexpectedly strong showings in Democratic presidential caucuses over the weekend?A pair of candidates who are seldom accused of being serious competitors for the nomination, but whose candidacies offer primary and caucus goers opportunities
Pumpkin Seeds: 2/9/2004
1. Yesterday’s Grammy show was the first one I can remember that I actually thoroughly enjoyed, despite some of the more obvious sympathy awards for Warren Zevon and Luther Vandross. Beyoncé is officially a diva, going toe-to-toe with Prince in the opening number and managing to outshine him on his own songs. (I am curious
Exercising is like dating. If you haven’t done it in a while, it can be a little awkward when you first jump back in. It’s also like relationships. You really have to commit to it in order for it to be a good experience. I’ve always been more Jack Nicholson than Kurt Russell in that
Defending Sharpton
This happens a lot, where I become a defender of someone I don’t particularly care for but think is getting an unfair shake. Recently, I’ve found myself defending Al Sharpton, someone I don’t always agree with but whose presence in the Democratic primaries I think is important. Like Kucinich, it’s not so much because I
A little humor to put the whole Janet Jackson thing in perspective: There was plenty more offensive than Jackson during Super Bowl BY TONY HICKS, Contra Costa Times …It was almost as if the nipple had been stealing nuclear secrets and was ready to attack.

You are the cute but psycho happy bunny. You’re adorable, but a little out there. It’s alright, though. You might not have it all, but there are worse. which happy bunny are you? brought to you by Quizilla
As a kid, I was a big fan of GI Joe. I vaguely remember in the 70s having a couple of the big 12″ dolls and the jeep. I think at least one of them even had “real” facial hair. In the 80s, I really got into them when the 3-3/4″ action figures came out
Notes on Mini-Super Tuesday
1. Joe-mentum has officially run out of gas. Credit his supporters – as far off the mark as Kucinich’s – for having the courage of their convictions and voting for him anyway instead of jumping on the misguided “electability” bandwagon. The fact that he’ll have a voice at the convention and Kucinich may not really
