| What does a super-majority of unmarried women want? More government.
Had only married women been allowed to vote in the 2006 elections, Republicans might still control the House of Representatives. Fifty percent of married women voting in those elections, the network exit poll revealed, opted for a Republican candidate for the House. Only 48 percent went for a Democratic candidate. On the other hand, had only unmarried women been allowed to vote, the House today might be almost entirely composed of Democrats. While 53 percent of the overall vote in U.S. House races in 2006 went to Democrats, 66 percent of the unmarried-woman vote went to Democrats. What does this super-majority of unmarried women want? More government. Or, put another way: They want the government to tax money away from married couples and give that money to them in the form of government entitlements.
Family spared third ordeal
After sitting through two painful trials for the man accused of shooting his daughter in the head and killing her, Joe Nueslein was relieved.
"I just thank God this is all over with," he said that November evening in 1995 when former Baltimore police Sgt. James A. Kulbicki was convicted of first-degree murder for the second time. "And that I'll never have to go through that again."
He couldn't have been more wrong.

Making connections count
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Few Internet entrepreneurs practice what they preach as devoutly as LinkedIn Corp. cofounder Reid Hoffman, whose business revolves around his belief that good fortune flows from good relationships. Hoffman, 40, has put that principle to work by mining his own vast network of Silicon Valley connections to rake in one Internet jackpot after another. A college friendship led Hoffman to PayPal and his first windfall when eBay Inc. bought the online-payment service for $1.5 billion in 2002. Since then, he has become even wealthier by investing in other Internet start-ups he discovered through friends and former colleagues. Along the way, Hoffman also used some of his PayPal proceeds to help start LinkedIn, an online business-networking service that helps professionals like him realize the value of their contacts from the past and present.
Dallas, I love you, but I've found Austin
In eyelinered Chicago goth-pop wannabes Kill Hannah's sort-of hit "Kennedy," singer Mat Devine brags that he wants to be a Kennedy and, after living fast and breaking hearts and kissing the girls of centerfolds on the tongue, die young. We don't really believe Devine, because two songs later on that album (2003's For Never & Ever) he's talking about riding the Ferris wheel at Chicago's tourist trap Navy Pier. But he's still the star in this dope show, working a sexed-up androgynous wail that's way more effective than that Placebo guy's sugar-pill act. By dipping drumsticks into pogo-punk from the early '80s and splashing around in surf-rock guitars, the members of opening band Pink Spiders have avoided overdosing on pop-punk. The three boys behind the Bubblicious-meets-liquid-latex outfit serve up edgy yet playful music on their latest album, Teenage Graffiti, a disc in which they get their kicks shooting pure blues and classic rock 'n' roll into their veins.

Post-Democratic Presidential Candidates Debate Coverage/Michigan ...
KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST: In Las Vegas where the latest Democratic debate at the Cashman Center there is over. I'm Keith Olbermann at MSNBC headquarters in New York, back to Las Vegas and my colleague Chris Matthews in a moment. We'll spend the next hour analyzing both the debate and the Republican primary in Michigan. As you see, Senator Obama in those indescribably delicious moments after an event of such of length and such intensity. As a two-hour debate now among just those three Democratic candidates ends. Senator Clinton as she's one of candidates after one of debates shaking hands with supporters and friends and members of the campaign in the front row and it is a great relief for all involved when one of these things simply comes to an end. Obviously, a very substantial and substantive conversation tonight after a very little in the way of personal invective being described early on, despite perhaps efforts or recognitions that those issues were on the table.
American Gangster Review
American Gangster is based on the true story of Frank Lucas (Washington), a Harlem crime lord of the 1970s. He took on the mafia by selling uncut heroin direct from Thailand, with a little help from American armed forces, and selling it cheaper. .
