I guess if anyone knows that it's hard to talk when you have another man's scrotum in your mouth, it would be Anderson Cooper.Although I wouldn't put it past him to teabag himself.

Imagine if all the hospitals, schools, churches, and government buildings that appear on online maps were nothing but blurs. That would not only reduce the usefulness of things like Google Maps and Google Earth, but it would be a huge undertaking for Google and would probably violate the First Amendment. But that's exactly what California Assemblyman Joel Anderson, a Republican from El Cajon, is proposing in a measure dubbed "AB-255." The measure would apply to Web site operators and online services that make "a virtual globe browser available to members of the public" and fails to define what that is....

The decision is an attempt to rein in escalating expenses just as publishers have stopped shipping magazines to the Knoxville distributor, which began charging a 7 cent fee on Feb. 1 for each magazine distributed. CEO Charles Anderson said the surcharge was necessary to offset losses and stay in business, but publishers have refused to pay. Most employees were told Saturday not to report to work until further notice. It was unclear...

A RESPONSE to last week’s column about the chronic troubles of air travelers came from Christine Anderson, who says she was with her son Jack both times he was told that he was on the terrorist watch list. The first time was in 2004, when Jack; his mother; his brothers Joey, then 8, and Joshua, then 5; and their grandmother, Susan, arrived at the airport in Minneapolis for a trip to Disney World. “The woman at the ticket counter demanded, ‘Who is John Anderson?’ ” Ms. Anderson recalled.

Keith Weissman and Steven Rosen Are PhDs and Middle East Experts Who Did Some Lobbying. They Thought They Were Doing What Washington Insiders Always Do. Thomas O’Donnell didn’t reveal his job when he phoned Keith Weissman in 2004 and got the policy analyst’s wife. He says he didn’t want to scare her.
