The Dixie Chicks have received death threats and feel the need to use metal detectors at their concerts now. All of this has happened since they dared to practice the rights guaranteed to them in the Bill of Rights and criticize the President. Gotta love how tolerant we are in America.

Dick Gephardt thinks we should use the money from Bush's tax cut plan to fund a fund a universal health care program. Hopefully this becomes an issue in 2004.

Hmm.. Today is the first day in a while that I haven't seen 20 zillion articles about Iraq within my first 10 minutes of morning news combing. In fact, I haven't seen a one.

Some Republicans are now asking Sen. Rick Santorum to apologize to gays about his recent comments. The current Republican leadership, whoever, have done nothing besides defend the man who proved that he has no problem letting the country know that he's a bigoted asshole who hates gay people. I got to watch the Daily Show last night, and they played a clip of Santorum's comments BEFORE the comments that made the news. If you ask me, these need to be included in the whole of what Santorum his said, because he was talking about REGULATING sexual acts IN THE HOME before blurting out his oft-quoted homophobic diatribe. In short, he wishes to put the government in your bedroom and throw you in jail if you are having sex with anybody besides who you are married too. If you're married, if you're not married, then you should not have sex at all. What a fucking asshole this guy is. All the groups asking him to step down from office receive my full support.

North Korea says that if the nuclear crisis talks between them and the US are to be successful, the US has to change it's "hostile policy" towards North Korea.
