...That's a lot of money we can be using for wildlife conservation.' RACHEL LEVIN, spokeswoman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, on why the agency won't spend $300,000 to fix a duck stamp that mistakenly lists a phone-sex number instead of a number to re-order stamps...
...MSNBC, meanwhile, bias charges were the tipping point in a major shake-up. Taking a page from Fox News, the cable network has cultivated opinionated, left-of-center hosts like Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann.

Settling in western Massachusetts, she worked as an activist for prisoners with HIV and AIDS, and as a "yard boy." That's how she met Susan Mikula, an artist who has been her partner for the past eight years. On a dare, Maddow auditioned as an on-air personality for an Amherst radio station and got the job. She served as morning host on Northampton's WRSI...
