Bilingual voters in New York exercise their rights

Sat, 09/19/2009 - 20:51

The New York Times has really taken notice of the success that the Asian American community achieved on last Tuesday's primary. Here's another article on the community. This time, it's about the fight for bilingual ballots and it focuses on the fight that the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund has been been waging for years.

Right Wing Would Prefer Laura and Euna Stay in North Korea

Mon, 08/10/2009 - 16:28

Like most of the country, I was overjoyed to see Laura Ling and Euna Lee finally back on US soil.  Surprisingly, it appears that not everyone shares this opinion.  The right wing has seen the release of these journalists as a major blow to American prestige and indeed a few have suggested that Euna and Laura were better off imprisoned.

Lets start with possibly the worst ambassador to the UN that the United States has ever had: John Bolton

Jindal's Response Not So Big, Not So Easy

Wed, 02/25/2009 - 06:47
bobby_jindal Well, it looks like the reviews are in for Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal's response to President Obama's address to the joint session of Congress last night. Let's just say, "the liberal media" strikes again! How else can you explain headlines like: Jindal's GOP Response Flops Jindal's response: Panned, seared And being compared to the character of Kenneth from 30 Rock. This was supposed to be Jindal's big national debut and it was a colossal flop. I guess Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee can give a big sigh of relief. Then again others have bounced back from dismal national debuts. Think of Bill Clinton's debut at the Democratic National Convention a few years back. The bigger problem is for the Republican party and their small and uninspiring ideas.
