Sweat Lodge Guru Defends His Actions
By David Knowles - AOL News(Jan. 26) -- The New Age practitioner who presided over a sweat lodge ceremony that led to the deaths of three people says reported comments suggesting he ignored participants' complaints have been "taken completely out of context." No charges have been filed, but James Arthur Ray remains the focus of an ongoing homicide investigation into the deaths of Liz Neuman, 49, of Prior Lake, Minn.; James Shore, 40, of Milwaukee; and Kirby Brown, 38, of Westtown, N.Y. They were among more than 50 people who took part in the Oct. 8 ceremony in Sedona, Ariz., where many people became ill for unknown ...
Time's Up Superdelegates: Obama or Clinton?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThis is the message from DNC Chairman Howard Dean. Pencils down. Is that your final answer? Via CNN:An increasingly firm Howard Dean told CNN again Thursday that he needs superdelegates to say who they're for--and "I need them to say who they're for starting now.""We cannot give up two or three months of active campaigning and healing time," the Democratic National Committee Chairman told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "We've got to know who our nominee is."If Dean has shown us anything over the course of this election cycle--and readers of this column have varying opinions on the subject--it's that he ...

By David Knowles - Politics DailyWhat greater sin is there in politics than to lie? A betrayal of public trust is something that we Americans will not tolerate from our leaders. Truthfulness is the paramount virtue that we require of those who would govern us.

I did cut it with my little hatchet."As a child, I remember getting into arguments with classmates about which ...
Who'll Tell Hillary?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyA growing chorus of Democrats are recommending that Hillary Clinton give up her current bid to become president. Of course, most of the people who advocate such a view--such as Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy--are supporters of Barack Obama. But as the contest drags on, and anxieties keep rising about the long-term damage that the protracted fight is having on Democratic chances for re-taking the White House, it is inevitable that some Clinton supporters will come to a similar conclusion to those Obama backers who envision Hillary's exit from the race as a way to preserve party unity. It doesn't ...
Future Owner of the Cubs: Alex Rodriguez?
By Eamonn Brennan - AOL NewsI know, that sounds ridiculous -- and this story is from the New York Post -- but apparently Scott Boras has been in discussions with who he believes is the "frontrunner" to purchase the Cubs this offseason about Alex Rodriguez owning a portion of the Cubs as a partial trade for his free agent services. According to the magazine [New York Magazine], Boras is peddling a Second City deal that could go for an average of $30 million a year over 10 seasons, with much of that cash backloaded for the 32-year-old Rodriguez - who would then be given the right to buy a chunk of the Cubs at the ...
