Gary Coleman is in for a shock the next time he surfs the internet - his domain name is still being linked to an anti-abortion site. The Diff'rent Strokes star thought he'd legally shut down www.garycoleman.com after learning it was linked to an antiabortion site, but it's still running.

Coleman and his legal team are now investigating the ongoing use of his domain name.

Or a variation on this theme: "Whoever wins will not have a mandate so he/she will not be able to govern, especially with the huge Democrat majorities in the California legislature."</p>
