• Former Dem Nominee Kerry Endorses Obama

  Thu Jan 10, 2008
  • I agree with Mike on this. Until Kerry's endorsement, Obama had only three endorsements from current senators. Of those endorsements, one was from his home state of Illinois and the other two were from senators most people have never heard of. To compare, Clinton has ten senate endorsements.

  • Catch22, the prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the president. See section c of Title 28, Section 541 of the U.S. Code. The firings may be unethical, but they are not illegal.

  • Reposting last comment (it showed correctly in the preview): Aine, it is my understanding that despite U.S. labor law, the prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the president. Essentially, the prosecutors can fired at any time at the president's discretion.

  • There are strict guidelines for issuing Amber Alerts. I don't believe these missing children qualify for an Amber Alert since there is no evidence that the children are in any immediate danger or have been kidnapped. However, with each passing day, that scenario seems more likely.

• Marquette earns No. 7 seed in NCAA tourney

  Mon Mar 13, 2006
  • For a team that was barely supposed to make the Big East tournament, Marquette has had an accomplished season. And, with all those freshman, they should continue to be a threat in future years. Despite being a UWM fan, I am happy to see another Milwaukee team do well.

• Russ Feingold for President

  Wed Mar 1, 2006
  • During the 2004 election, I had the privilege of voting for Feingold. While I consider Feingold my political hero, very Mr. Smith-like, I doubt that he will get the Democratic nod for president, if he even runs.
