Hunter got 534 votes, or 41 percent of the vote. Former Tennessee senator and actor Fred Thompson, who is expected to announce his candidacy next week but was…

When I read this movie review by Roger Ebert I decided that Stardust might not be worth the time or money to see it in the theater. He liked it but it had problems. And since it was PG-13 I couldn’t take Samantha anyway. I figured I’d watch it on DVD. But then Samantha was…

I went to see Stardust on Friday with Sarah and I highly recommend you go see it. It’s a funny, exciting and an unusual movie. I review it here.

Change the word “black” to “white” in this article and tell me it isn’t racist: The dwindling black population recently prompted council member Harry Thomas Jr. to call for the district’s black officials to form an “African American Caucus” to push for legislation that supports black constituents. Kenneth Carroll, 47, a writer who has lived…

The candidates had to sign a pledge that they wouldn’t campaign in Michigan and Florida: The Democratic candidates have signed a pledge that would forbid them from campaigning in states such as Michigan and Florida that have sought to move their presidential primaries into January 2008. The move ended weeks-long jockeying over which states get…
