Clinton has gotten trashed for saying that "white"people voted for her in Pennsylvania etc. Brown says, "Look, black neighborhoods vote for black candidates." Just as racist, if racist at all --- although undoubtedly true statement.

Humans, as other creatures, tend to associate with those similar to themselves So, what!

What's important is that there be equal opportunity for all people whatever race or gender.

Thank you, Chief Sanchez. As an East side resident, I am sick of the violence.

Are these past tests available anywhere online that we can see what they are like, ridiculously easy as the poster said, or more substantive?

I don't know any of these people or their bites ---- but if even dentists disagree, wouldn't a jury of Frimpong's peers (or of someone's peers) NOT been able to reach a decision because of a reasonable doubt as to which dentist is accurate?

How can a guilty verdict be left stand? (But, then, again, how to go through the whole trial scene again?!)

I hope all of you - and everyone - interested in the side actions in Iraq (Abu Ghraib), Afghanistan (Bagram) and Gitmo will go to the Plaza de Oro and see TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE that won an Oscar Best Documentary.

It's stunning and on a first run here. We all should know what is being done in our names, not just the heroism of soldiers but some of the less heroic stuff.......

True, Obama did not vote for the war in 2002 since he was not in the US Senate, but when he had the chance to vote against funding the war, he voted in favor. As for his 11 years of legislative experience, what's notable is that he has essentially no legislative record.

There were many occasions in the Illinois legislative that rather than go on record, he chose to vote "present" - allowed in Illinois, but not exactly the mark of a standup guy. In the same way that when there was a chance to distinguish himself against Clinton on the Kyl-Lieberman non-binding motion about Iran, he was absent, choosing to campaign at Dartmouth. He has criticised Clinton for this vote ( I would also) but one of his strongest supporters, Sen. Durbin, also voted for that "sense of the Senate."

His stump speeches are stirring ...but in Iowa and NH, they were read from a teleprompter, written by his speechwriter, while the other candidates speak without prompting.

A platform of "hope" is a thin gruel for a hungry country.

We may not need another hostel, but we surely, surely need cheap lodging. Instead of a hostel, if that's not needed, then a Single Room Occupancy hotel would be very desirabl, there downtown.

Nice thought, tallslpowater, but it sure didn't sound like you were "back in 10 minutes" or even 6 times that, if you in fact "made an entire loaf of French bread"! Seems odd you say it took only 15 minutes.

Moral of that story (for all of us, not just you): not only have good intentions but do as and how you say you'll do. The guy probably would have preferred some immediate money and a ride somewhere else away from that fumed intersection, but....

It isn't easy knowing what to do, let alone doing it.
