| TV SoundOff: Sunday Talking Heads
Who thinks we need a law to make English the official language of government. What American legislature is conducting business in some other language? And then he says that bureaucracy is destructive, after suggesting we bureaucratize the speaking of English. Dear, oh dear. But, too much talk about issue! Must talk about horse races! Gingrich says Romney has more delegates than anyone–I think that's wrong, actually! Yes. I am right. Here's the delegate count. Note Romney's use of Enron accounting. Also note that this story comes from ABC News! You'd think maybe someone there would tell Stephanopoulos that his own news division has a different answer. Gingrich thinks the "open" Hillary is better than the "austere" Hillary, and that it was strange to identify herself with LBJ.
Health Insurance Won't Insure Your Life
There is no excuse for the inhumanity CIGNA displayed, and no company should ever be allowed to arbitrarily dictate whether a person lives or dies.
Burn the greedy bastards, and burn them well.

New Charges For Man Who Led Police On Wild Chase
Finally, the suspect exited the Dolphin Expressway and sped up Perimeter Road, next to Miami International Airport. He turned again at 25th Street where his road ran out in a Customs warehouse area. After the driver skidded over a median between two police over a median and having nowhere else to go, the suspect slammed into a traffic barrier. Soto then took off of foot and tried to outrun police but they caught up to him as he jumped spread eagle into some bushes. He surrendered after at least six officers jumped on top of him. Video of the capture shows several officers punching and kicking Soto as he was pinned to the ground. Two of the officers involved in the take down were suspended with pay. Police realized Soto was not the person they were looking for. The suspects wanted in the lunch truck robbery were described as three males and a female who was driving the getaway car.
Racial Issues Boil Over In Democratic Campaign
Over the weekend, the issue of race surged to the forefront of the Democratic primary race. The New York Times reports Clinton and Obama "engaged in a war of words on Sunday over Mrs. Clinton's recent remark about the role that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. played in securing civil rights laws in the 1960s." The Time adds that in a conference call with supporters on Sunday, Obama "refuted the charge that his campaign had been trying to fan the flames of black voters and party leaders about Mrs. Clinton's comments involving Dr. King." Obama said, "Senator Clinton made an unfortunate remark, an ill-advised remark, about King and Lyndon Johnson. I didn't make the statement. I haven't remarked on it, and she, I think, offended some folks who felt that somehow diminished King's role in bringing about the Civil Rights Act." The Washington Post adds Obama had "previously tried to sidestep direct engagement in the debate over race.
