… a suicide bomber made his way into the Iraqi parliament, in the so-called “Green Zone”, and killed 8 plus himself.

… emails related to official government business, including the firings of federal prosecutors for which Alberto Gonzales has come under fire, have been deleted.

… the U.S. Senate passed a Stem-Cell Bill which will allow federal funds for embryonic stem-cell research. While not enough votes to overturn the promised presidential veto, if it does eventually, we can be assured of at least one thing: our tax dollars being used to create and kill human life for 20, 30, 50 or more years — if that — before there would be anywhere near the success that adult stem-cells have had at treating illnesses and diseases.

But, of course, we know that folks would much rather talk about racism and the comments of a schlock like Imus … things like …

… his being fired from CBS.

And the fact that Snoop Dogg, while avoiding prison for gun and drug possession, doesn’t want to be compared to Don Imus.

“[Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We’re talking about ho’s that’s in the ‘hood that ain’t doing sh–, that’s trying to get a n—a for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain’t no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC.”

Absolutely not, Snoop. We’d never confuse your comments about “old-ass white men” with comments about “nappy-headed hos”.

God forbid!
