The big debate: Domestic partnership equality
This becomes a problem as we enter the long stretch to November and the Presidential elections. All of the Presidential candidates seem to be avoiding the issue as much as possible, probably because they are in opposition to 80% of the people. McCain simply says secure the borders and changes the subject. However, McKennedy will dog him forever, especially since he still supports it. Obama says yes to drivers licenses to illegals and wants a path to citizenship for all illegals. His claims that no one is illegal and all Americans, (legal or otherwise,) deserve to be taken care of by the government, sets a dangerous trend. Clinton is for drivers licenses, or against them, or..., well, what day is it? "We need health care for everyone!" The candidates who will be most affected will likely be the race for Congress and the Statehouse.

LETTER: Vote for Obama if you care about America
Does the old expression "That's like the pot calling the kettle black" sound a little familiar here? How about " It takes one to know one"? Yeah I know, tired old cliche's.. When it comes to bigotry though, Question might want to examine himself.

That list includes: 1.Conservatives 2.Any Republican, even those who don't care much for George W, Bush whom he calls monkey man, the chimp, simian, dubya,and other assorted pet names. 3.People of faith, especially Christians. 4.The military. Don't you know our soldiers are nothing but murderer's? 5. Cops. A huge majority of them are nothing more than thugs, don't cha know? 5.People who don't agree with his superior opinions bolstered by his superior intellect.
Europe Gets First Dibs On Honda CR-Z Hybrid Hatchback
The Honda CRX was an incredibly popular little hatchback, because while it had a diminutive footprint, it was a blast to drive and it was easy on gas. Yes, it was basically a Civic hatchback, but for whatever reason, it was just so much cooler. It's still a fun car to drive today, if you can find one in good condition. The Honda CR-Z hybrid is the highly anticipated spiritual successor to the CRX, but unlike its predecessor, this car is going to cost a little more and it's gonna be even greener. We've seen the Honda CR-Z hybrid at a few car shows already, but Honda has been hesitant to release any sort of launch information. Well, it turns out that the production version of the CR-Z will not be launching initially in Japan or the United States. Instead, the first proving ground will be Europe.

Best evidence yet of caffeine-miscarriage link
Women in early pregnancy who drink a cup and a half of coffee every day are at greater risk of miscarriage than those who stay away from caffeine, according to a Kaiser Permanente study out of Oakland. The study, published today in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, is one of the largest to look at the connection between caffeine and miscarriage, and the first to interview women about their caffeine habits before they've actually suffered a miscarriage. While there has been much research into caffeine and miscarriage - some of it dating back to the 1960s - no studies have been definitive, and the effect of caffeine, and coffee in particular, on miscarriage has been a subject of controversy. But the Kaiser study, said doctors who were not involved in the research, makes a fairly solid case against drinking coffee, or any kind of caffeinated beverage, early in pregnancy.
