At last, a wise ruling. The  judge in the Goose Creek case denied bail for one of the students, citing a danger to the community and a flight risk.   Remember, these were the students who claimed to just have firecrackers in the trunk. More info at MMalkin.

  I never I thought I would see that in print - from a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press. Highlights:

•  But the tone of the coverage for the top two front-runners — Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Rudy Giuliani — hardly was friendly.
• Stories focused more on fundraising and polls than on where candidates stood on the issues
• Democrats, overall, got more coverage — and more positive ink and airtime — than Republicans.
• If American politics is changing, the report concluded,  the style and approach of the American press does not appear to be changing with it.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy walked out of an interview with US CBS television news show 60 minutes, according to a clip of the show released Sunday in advance of the interview's airing.

 He was not happy about having been scheduled for an interview. You can hear that at the beginning. He DOES like America, tho.
Seems he walked out when Leslie Stahl asked about his wife leaving him.

Wonderin' if they might,
plan a hijacking.

• several witnesses who said that days before the Kerry event, Meyer vowed to put on ``a show.''
• Whether Meyer will face criminal charges for resisting arrest and causing a disturbance will be determined soon,

Here's Obama without his lapel pin and hand over heart. Wouldn't want to look like a patriot, now would we? And this photo is from October of THIS year.
