At least Edwards proved Ann Coulter wrong (although this is not a difficult task). As discussed in a CNN article http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/03/04/coulter.edwards/index.html
So Edwards didn't prove Coulter right when he decided to sleep with a Reille Hunter once again, everyone loses. We need to take a lesson from Sarkozy and Carla Bruni: don't get pregnant if you're going to have an affair! That causes all sorts of complications.

Coulter's a crazy political D lister that is sometimes quoted for saying radically stupid things in which she gets air time to air her arrogant commentary(how was that for a whimsy sentence). She doesn't really mean what she says because she doesn't care what she is saying, she's a shock jock -- three tiers below Rushy Limpballs.

This week, a trade the Indiana Pacers made with the Toronto Raptors before the 2008 draft becomes official, ending the Jermaine O'Neal era. In exchange for O'Neal, the Pacers are getting several new faces, a couple of expiring contracts, and the fresh start they've needed since the first punch was thrown at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

A lot has been written about the O'Neal trade since it was announced, especially about point guard T.J. Ford. You may have gotten the impression that he's injury prone, since he's been carried off the court on a stretcher not once but twice in his young NBA career. You might think he has an attitude problem that forced the Raptors to ship him out just to restore harmony to the locker room.

I'd like to start this piece by clarifying a few things from the article in last week's Nuvo about the deforestation of the Hoosier National Forest in southern Indiana. First of all, I don't live in a house adjacent to the National Forest. It's a one-room log cabin with an outhouse, although it often feels like home. A three-hour journey separates the cabin from my house in the city. Continue reading "The Watchdog of the Forest"

Michigan husband

Tara asunder

L.A. partyers
exposed to hepatitis
feeling pucked over

pot use among teens

I watched Pacers lose

Pacers, Warriors
swap eight players of thwarted

To the passing-through passenger merely connecting from one flight to the next, any major-hub airport looks more or less like any other: a ticket/baggage terminal and a series of concourses spread out like horizontal behemoths, connected by moving walkways and/or underground trains. They offer no edification, no aesthetic pleasure or artistic expression - despite attempts at a bit of color in wall decor and kitschy sculpture. (They exist only for functionality, and in normal times they daily manage thousands of people remarkably well, considering.) What I learned from Dec. 20 through 22 is that they also offer little comfort except for a rigidly controlled shield from outside weather. Too rigid, I found out. Continue reading "Turminoil"

It began innocently enough, in the shower. I felt a warm wetness in my nose and when I touched the edge of the nostril with my forefinger, there was blood. Continue reading "Saga of the Nosebleed"
