...Trouble is, a lot of those votes are not in the city. Evacuees live in 44 states now. The NAACP and other groups filed a lawsuit to delay the election, establish polling centers out of state and force FEMA to turn over the addresses of evacuees to the campaigns. They lost. The state of Louisiana agreed to set up 10 polling places outside of New Orleans but in-state, near the borders of neighboring states. Community groups like ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which help low- and moderate-income families, have organized buses leaving Monday from...
...this [standoff with U.N. arms inspectors], you know, earlier,?" Duelfer told a Senate panel in 2004. Following the bombing, the U.N. remained sidelined in Iraq until just before 2003?s invasion. All this suggests that any U.S.-led military attack on Iran designed to root out - or even merely delay - Tehran?s nuclear-weapons program is going to have to be far more violent and sustained than Desert Fox. In other words, any talk of a relatively pain-free surgical strike against Iran would certainly qualify as misinformed speculation...
...DeLay, who was in Congress for 21 years, must still fight the Texas charges that cost him his post as majority leader last September.

Asked if he had done anything illegal or unethical in office, he quickly replied no to each question. Asked if he had done anything immoral, he gave the same answer and then caught himself. "Are you kidding?" he asked with a chuckle. "We're all sinners." DeLay said he has been overwhelmed by the outpouring from well-wishers--including, he said, some that "I really didn't expect even cared about me." But love has its limits. DeLay said he does not know of any Republicans who have invited him to appear with them on the campaign trail this fall...
...applicants without entry scores, so homeschooling isn't necessarily an impediment to tertiary study. Indeed, a high proportion of the homeschooled just keep on studying, often well into their 20s. Why? Perhaps their childhood experience fires a profound love of learning. Or does their sheltered upbringing cause them to delay the leap into a scary world? The most persistent objection to home education is that it denies its charges the socializing experience of school. "Living in the community, being with other children . . . these are vital parts of a normal life for a child," says Sharryn Brownlee, immediate past president...
