She may have abandoned the Democratic Party and dropped out of the anti-war movement but Cindy Sheehan is still scheduled to speak at the annual Wisconsin Leftist gathering Fighting Bob Fest in September.

On the immigration debate what has made me feel uncomfortable with the “secure the borders” hardliners is some want a limit on legal immigration along with enforcing the law on the illegal immigrants currently in the U.S. Right Wing News‘ John Hawkins told Ed Morrissey that’s what he wanted. Building a fence isn’t enough.

My favorite game show character has passed away:
Charles Nelson Reilly, whose persona as a wacky game show panelist and talk show guest overshadowed his serious work as a director and Tony-winning actor, has died. He was 76.
Reilly, a longtime resident of Beverly Hills, died Friday of complications from pneumonia at UCLA Medical Center, said Paul [...]
The U.S. economy had a weak start to 2007:
The economy nearly stalled in the first quarter with growth slowing to a pace of just 0.6 percent. That was the worst three-month showing in more than four years.
The new reading on the gross domestic product, released by the Commerce Department on Thursday, showed that economic [...]
Sen. Sam Brownback wrote an op-ed for the NY Times on his stance in the evolution-creation debate. It has a very Catholic feel which makes sense since Brownback is a convert.
The heart of the issue is that we cannot drive a wedge between faith and reason. I believe wholeheartedly that there cannot be any contradiction [...]
I have to do a mea culpa to a mea culpa. A few days ago, I jumped to conclusions and posted that Valerie Plame was a covert CIA agent when Robert Novak mentioned her in a 2003 column. What I failed to note was the story was only special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s legal opinion. It [...]
With Fred Thompson almost-sort-of in the Presidential race it’s time to ask some questions that go way beyond his effect on the horse race. The vibe I’m getting from Fred supporters makes him the Republican Obama. He’s the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan (he does look as old as Reagan in office) and the conservative savior [...]
Mark Cuban wants to start a pro football league:
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is part of a group considering formation of a football league that would compete with the NFL for players drafted lower than the second round.
The league, still very much in the preliminary stage, would play its games on Friday nights. The NFL [...]
No, Maxim hasn’t taken over TAM. (But I’m willing to rent the place out for a long weekend.) When I come across a couple stories involving lovely ladies I can’t resist.
First, a reporter went shopping with Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s wife. She prefers the consignment shops over Macy’s. That short loon can pick ‘em. [via The [...]
There are times when writers shouldn’t branch too much out of their area of expertise. Engadget’s Darren Murph made the mistake of pushing into the sports realm when reporting on Major League Baseball’s conflict with Slingbox (emphasis mine):
While some broadcasters are actually utilizing the Slingbox and appreciating its benefits, leave it to Major League Baseball [...]
District Attorney John Chisolm showed part of his hand in court charging Alderman Michael McGee/Jackson with solicitation to commit a felony/conspiracy and solicitation to commit a felony/substantial battery. Most of the case is still under seal because of wiretap evidence.
That will be important because McGee/Jackson’s lawyer is claiming Chisolm isn’t down enough with his street [...]
“Run to the Hills” got a positive mention but didn’t win James Widgerson’s Sen. Hillary Clinton campaign song contest.

Brilliant political prognosticator and Oscar-winning actor Ben Affleck predicts Mitt Romney will be the Republican Presidential nominee. Why? Because he’s pretty:
Chatting about the upcoming presidential race on the season finale of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the Cambridge homey said he thinks the GOP will end up with Romney because the ex-gov looks good, has [...]
How can I forget the other Thompson in the Presidential race? Tommy Thompson’s entire strategy rests on Iowa. A win in Iowa caucuses would catapault him into New Hampshire with campaign cash pouring in. For Tommy it’s all about Iowa which explains why only seven people showed up for a gathering in New Hampshire.
Iowa. Iowa. [...]
Fred Thompson is in the Presidential race…somewhat. At least he took a small step to being a full-blown candidate:
Speculation over whether Fred Thompson is serious about running for president just went toes-up. Mr. Thompson’s not-yet-a campaign has confirmed: He’s dipping his toes in.
Specifically, a Thompson adviser told The New York Sun yesterday, he will announce [...]
