Anchor suspended 2 weeks for "lynch" comment
Update: Tiger OK with 'lynch' remark, but Sharpton ready for battle -- This gets me: "'I think it's a sad day in America when words can get people run from their jobs,' Miller said." -- What?! This happens every damned day! Someone says the wrong word at the wrong time in front of the wrong people. Yes, that's reason to be fired. It's called business.

Jan. 10th, 2008 12:43 pmKucinich instructed caucus-goers in Iowa to go to Obama if he wasn't going to get 15%. In 2004, he said to do so for Edwards.
Today, John Kerry is expected to endorse Obama.
Kucinich's move I don't understand. Kerry, sadly, is that of the Establishment trying to protect itself. (And, perhaps, the bandwagon effect.)

Tata reveals world's cheapest car -- "For millions of people in the developing world, Tata Motors' new $2,500 four-door subcompact—the world's cheapest car—may yield a transportation revolution with as great an impact as Henry Ford's Model T, which rolled off an assembly line one century ago.

Heads up, Michigan voters
Jan. 10th, 2008 06:46 pmUnexpected wrinkle for Clinton in Michigan
The national party voted to strip Michigan of delegates as a penalty, but party leaders in the electoral-vote rich state have expressed confidence that they will be seated at the convention.
None of the candidates, including Clinton, will be campaigning here, and none have authorized write-in campaigns–-which means that, under state law, their supporters cannot cast write-in votes for any of them.
But if at least 15 percent of the voters in a congressional district opt for the "uncommitted" option rather than voting for Clinton, delegates not bound to any candidate could attend the national convention--a development that could allow Edwards or Obama supporters to play a role in candidate selection there.
