The Unbearable Whiteness of DeanIs the Democratic Party dividing along racial lines? Last week we analyzed a pair of competing poll results that suggested it may be: the MoveOn "primary," which Howard Dean won handily, and a Gallup poll, which showed Joe Lieberman in the lead and Al Sharpton in a fourth-place tie overall and leading the pack among black Democrats. It seems Sharpton noticed the same Gallup poll. On CNN's "Late Edition" yesterday, he cited it in expressing his frustration over all the attention Dean is getting after the latter's recent...

Nearly everyday, there's something written on the Internet about me that's flat out untrue. And I'm not alone. Nearly every famous person in the country's under siege.

They let their critics' fall all over themselves at some feigned weakness only to later show strength and blow the critics credibility. Several examples would include: Letting the press go overboard portraying him as stupid in Election 2000. By trying to convince the public Bush was a moron, his critics were exposed by the debates.

Police said as soon as the probe is completed they will take their evidence to the Orange County District Attorney to determine if a complaint will be issued. Early after the vandalism, local residents near the memorial accused the Police Department of not taking adequate action when they first spotted people altering patriotic signs on the fence Saturday afternoon.

KO.N and started taking away bottled and canned drinks to ease food shortages caused by an opposition strike, officials said. The action was the first major takeover of a food plant after threats by leftist President Hugo Chavez that he would send troops to seize manufacturing facilities that withheld food products during the nearly seven-week-old national work stoppage.
