U.S. Senator Ron Wyden to Speak at AAN Convention

Oregon's senior senator, known for his interest in health care, technology and natural-resources issues, will address convention delegates the morning of Saturday, June 16. Before his election to the Senate in 1996, Wyden served 15 years in the U.S. House of Representatives. In a vote earlier this month, Wyden cosponsored the Feingold-Reid amendment calling for the mandated redeployment of U.S. troops from Iraq. In 2002, the Democrat was one of only 23 senators who voted against the authorization of military force in Iraq.

U.S. Singles: The New Nuclear Familynew

Data released in late 2006 from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that the majority of U.S. households are now headed by unmarried adults. In a report examining their attitudes, behaviors and lifestyles, the market research publisher Packaged Facts finds that singles are both more diverse and younger than the general population. The report also details the spending preferences of various unmarried demographic groups. For example, younger unmarried adults skew towards technology purchases; single boomers opt for luxury items; and single parents "enjoy shopping and sharing their children's entertainment."

Redmond Defends SFBG Advertising Policynew

The Bay Guardian ran an ad for Coors Light earlier this month and faced the wrath of local progressives, who have boycotted the company since 1974 due to its anti-union and anti-gay policies. "I wish they would not carry (the ad)," a representative of a local labor group tells the Bay Area Reporter. "I think they are mistaken to do so." Executive editor Tim Redmond tells the Reporter that the Bay Guardian will run any ad that's "not libelous, obscene, or consumer fraud" -- with the exception of cigarette advertising, which it no longer accepts**. "If every ad met my political correctness test, there would be no ads in the paper and I would be out of a job," Redmond says. **UPDATE: Redmond says the Bay Area Reporter got one detail wrong; the Guardian still takes cigarette ads. And he says we missed his most important quote: "I drink only Bud Light."
