Steven Van Zandt is showing off his similar style alongside Rep. Jamie Raskin, after gifting a head cover as the congressman battles cancer. The E Street Band member posted a photo on Monday of himself smiling alongside the Maryland Democrat, saying the duo share a special connection beyond their coordinating head gear. “My brother from another mother!” Van Zandt, 72, said. Raskin announced last year that he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, saying his diagnosis was “serious but curable.”

The voter fraud in this year’s presidential election was widespread and extensive. Instead of asking where was the fraud? The real question is where was there NO fraud? Democrats used every trick in their book to steal votes and manufacture ballots. Here is the latest proof of voter fraud in Texas. Democrats manufactured votes — in the same city, in the same handwriting and at the same address. This is what Democrats do. And they will continue to do this until people are sent to jail. WHERE IS THE DOJ? WHERE IS THE FBI? WHAT HORRIBLE PEOPLE! This needs to...

Don't pair up with matching genes 11:30 05 January 2007 NewScientist.com news service Matt Kaplan They say opposites attract – and a couple’s differences may be key to lasting happiness, according to a new genetic study of people in relationships. The findings were so predictive, that a DNA test could one day reveal how likely a woman is to cheat on her partner, the study suggests. Psychologist Christine Garver-Apgar at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, US, and colleagues investigated whether genetic similarities among romantically involved couples predicted how faithful and sexually responsive the partners were to one another....

NEW YORK (Nov. 14) -- For some New Yorkers, a shoe sale is an incidental thing, a chance to pick up a pair of loafers, or rummage through racks of heels. For Lorraine Koppell, shoes are a matter worth suing over. Ms. Koppell, a lawyer and the wife of G. Oliver Koppell, a city councilman and a lawyer himself, is part of a class-action lawsuit filed in Manhattan Civil Court this month. Her adversary is Bloomingdale's. The suit, filed by a neighbor who went to the same Bloomingdale's sale, claims that the store misled shoppers in a sale flier last...

<p>March 30, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The Federal Election Commission yesterday ruled that former Democratic presidential candidate Rev. Al Sharpton is not eligible for federal matching campaign funds. The decision was confirmed by an FEC spokesman, who added that the agency isn't taking final action on the matter for another 20 days to give the Sharpton campaign time to provide more documentation to prove that it's entitled to the money.</p>

<p>WASHINGTON -- Retired Gen. Wesley Clark will receive $3.7 million in taxpayer matching funds for his presidential primary campaign, a sum that surpasses veteran campaigners and increases the chances that the latecomer may still emerge as an alternative to the front-running Howard Dean.</p>

MoveOn.org- Campaign Finance Law Violation? I received an e-mail from MoveOn.org describing a unique fund-raising campaign by MoveOn's Section 527 organization to fund ads opposing the re-election of President Bush. This in itself seemed a little sketchy to me, considering the solicitation came through MoveOn's normal 501(c) mailing list. I'm not sure if that's a violation, though. Here's what gets me, the campaign claimed that if I contributed, my contribution would be matched if I was in the first $300,000 of contributions. The wording was slightly confusing, so I asked MoveOn whether this meant they would receive a $300,000 contribution...

Chemical matching of bullets fatally flawed 19:00 17 April 02 Robin Mejia and Ian Sample Michael Behn is serving a prison sentence in the US for a murder he maintains he did not commit. In 1997, just 11 days before he went to trial, his defence team was notified that the FBI had evidence showing that bullets found in Behn's house were identical to those used to kill New Jersey coin dealer Robert Rose. His lawyers could not find an expert witness to dispute the bureau's testimony, and Behn got life. The assumption that bullets found at a crime scene can be matched...
