I disagree with Claudia on this (watch the video below the fold): when a student asked Chelsea Clinton about her father’s extramarital affairs she told him that it’s “none of your business.” The student, seemingly disagreed, and tried to make her answer questions about the Monica Lewinsky affair nonetheless.

The typical moderate reaction we’re used to from fundamentalist countries:

About 50 Indonesian protesters gathered outside the Dutch embassy in Jakarta on Monday. (more…)

O no, I’m pretty sure that Palestinians don’t hate Jews but Zionists.

This is amazing: I always thought that penguins couldn’t fly. Well, I was right. Almost that is. Experts thought that no penguin could fly, but the BBC has stumbled upon the only penguins in the world that can. Quite amazing stuff, watch the video below the fold. (more…)

My favorite writer at The Moderate Voice is Polimom and it’s good to see that she’s back and blogging again! Today she writes that the Houston Chronicle’s policy of using “racial or ethnic identification only when it is clearly pertinent” went too far by failing to include important information about the at-large suspect: (more…)

According to the latest poll, Hillary Clinton’s lead in Pennsylvania has shrunk. Although Barack Obama still trails Clinton, there’s more good news for him: “the poll showed Obama gaining ground in the Keystone State, particularly in cities like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and among older voters, men and conservative Democrats.” (more…)
