A coalition of civil rights and media watchdog organizations is taking right-wing commentator Glenn Beck to task over disparaging remarks the talk show host made about President Obama’s name.
The coalition quotes Beck from his national radio program as saying, “He chose to use his name, Barack, for a reason. To identify, not with America — [...]

The Boston Globe reports that “Senators from both parties spent more than five hours today paying bittersweet tribute to Senator Edward M. Kennedy, recalling their late colleague as the chamber’s generous elder statesman, a passionate liberal, and a fierce, well-schooled politician who never shied away from a tough political fight.”
Senator John Kerry was among those [...]

Go home Norm:
Three judges soundly rejected Norm Coleman’s attempt to reverse Al Franken’s lead in the U.S. Senate election late Monday, sweeping away the Republican’s claims in a blunt ruling Coleman promised to appeal.

God wants me to serve.
Like you did last Friday in a radio interview. Are you really an endless reservoir of such egotistical inanity? Do you really believe you have “God” behind you, that “He” wants you [...]
