But (deep breath, now)...Clay Aiken has confirmed, in an interview featured on the cover of the upcoming issue of People magazine and first leaked on Perez Hilton's site, that he is indeed (wait for it), homosexual.

Israel murdered 6 million Arabs. Jews control American politics and dictate decisions of war and peace. The Jewish state is leading a "Holocaust" against the Palestinian people and was responsible for 9/11. The above are just a sampling of a large volume of racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda that can be found on user-generated pages on Sen.

Now, I'm sure Obama would draw a big crowd either way, but wasn't that worth mentioning in the coverage? From Wikipedia: "Named both in reference to the Russian Decembrist Revolt (which may explain its use of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union as an introduction at many concerts)..." Lovely.

In doing so, the actor and former Tennessee senator has skirted the edge of the murky federal regulations governing when a White House contender must officially declare a candidacy and file required documents with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), as reported by CQPolitics.com in a July 31 article. Now a liberal blogger named Lane Hudson has filed an official complaint with...

Two months ago, the company announced it was likely it would be forced to restate past results because of the scandal. Apple is among the highest-profile firms to have become caught up in options backdating - an apparently widespread practice in which the value of an options grant is artificially inflated by changing the grant date to coincide with a low point in the value of a company's shares.

But this Wednesday, Lake Monona is bare because the ice is too thin. According to a new study by Clear the Air, Lake Monona has been thawing three days earlier per decade since the 1800's. The data also shows 75-percent of lakes in the U.S. are staying frozen for less time and thawing earlier each year. The Clean Wisconsin Association says they have no doubt global warming is to blame.

"Christmas is a time to rejoice, and to give thanks for the blessings of the season and for the blessings that surround us every day of the year," said Bush, flanked by the first lady, as well as members of Congress and the Cabinet. The president made a brief allusion to Jesus, but crafted it into a joke which got mild response. "Each year, we gather...

The latest fatality occurred Wednesday in Babil province, part of an area known as the "Triangle of Death" because of the frequency of insurgent attacks on U.S.- and Iraqi-led forces there. In eastern Baghdad, two suicide car bombs exploded outside the Interior Ministry, killing at least two policemen and wounding five others, police Maj. Jabar Hassan said. Officials at nearby...

SALANT, Associated Press Writer COLLEGE PARK, Md. - President Nixon didn't think much of fellow Californian and Republican icon Ronald Reagan (news - web sites), calling him "strange" and not "pleasant to be around," newly released White House tapes show. Talking politics with White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman at Camp David in August 1972, Nixon switched the conversation to two Republican governors, Reagan of California and Nelson Rockefeller of New York. Both men unsuccessfully sought the 1968 Republican presidential nomination that Nixon received. "Reagan is...

"They were all rather insulting: 'Why don't you do your research?' " Lynch says. "When anything's orchestrated, you sort of smell a rat." The letters were indeed generated by Dean Defense Forces, a volunteer outfit affiliated with the doctor's campaign.
