'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Is Back On, Indefinitely: Initial Reactions
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Nov. 1) -- The day before the critical midterm elections, the Obama administration has won its federal case to extend the freeze on the overturning of "don't ask, don't tell," which was ruled unconstitutional by another federal judge less than a month ago. What does it all mean? Under the previous ruling, the controversial policy of discharging openly gay servicemen and women was effectively arrested, with U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips twice maintaining that the military could no longer enforce it, despite an attempt by Obama administration lawyers to secure an emergency stay. As ...
Gawker's Christine O'Donnell 'One-Night Stand' Story Denounced by Left, Right
By David Knowles - AOL News(Oct. 28) -- Did Gawker just cross the line, big time? The Manhattan-based gossip website published a piece today by an anonymous author who purports to have had a one-night stand with Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell on Halloween night three years ago. The piece had been something of a smash hit for Gawker, at least traffic-wise, receiving more than 180,000 page views in less than two hours, according to partner website Jezebel.

(Oct. 4) -- That's the thanks he gets? After supporting Barack Obama more than any other Republican over the past two years, and taking no small amount of heat from his GOP colleagues in the process, Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao, R.-La., must be wondering what he did to get on the president's bad side. The only Republican to have voted in favor of the original health care bill, Cao has not earned Obama's cross-party endorsement even though he has supported a great many of the president's policies and once declared "I love the president, and I believe he truly likes me." As Fox News reported, ...

Frankly, it is quite boring – not to mention cloying – to keep typing analogous paragraphs about the unflappable Obama administration in proud ascendancy. ...
