What Has the Iraq War Cost?new
March 19 is the fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Martha Stewart Living suggests celebrating fifth anniversaries by planting two saplings next to one another so that, when they graduate to treehood, a hammock can be strung between them.

Obama Can Bridge Gaps Between Blacks & Latinosnew
The media and opponents of Barack Obama have spun the notion that all Hispanics have a problem with blacks and especially Obama. This vacuous manner of thinking bears just the kind of ignorance and self styled bigotry that has held this country in its grip for hundreds of years.
