He knew Palin considers the Iraq war “a task that is from God.” He also knew that Alaska’s two leading [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/03/05/morning-headlines-2/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/03/05/morning-headlines-2/#comments Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:43:53 +0000 Russell McLendon http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/03/05/morning-headlines-2/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/03/05/morning-headlines-2/feed/ 1 CLINTON: Bounces back in the race for Democratic phone answerer nomination.

This is the best rundown on the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates’ positions I’ve seen yet. It’s filled with links to other articles and resources. Brookings did a great job on this.

Not a single question or answer on squirrel munching. I was gravely disappointed. MSNBC’s Scarborough did a much better job getting to the bottom of this topic. SQUIRREL SHAME?

On Super Tuesday, Huckabee won in such squirrel-gobbling centers as West Virginia, Tennessee and of course Arkansas, where he served as governor. On Saturday, he also picked up a [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/02/05/live-at-the-georgia-primary/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/02/05/live-at-the-georgia-primary/#comments Tue, 05 Feb 2008 22:51:45 +0000 Web Editor http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/02/05/live-at-the-georgia-primary/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/02/05/live-at-the-georgia-primary/feed/ 1 [liveblog]http://www.coveritlive.com/index2.php?option=com_altcaster&task=viewaltcast&altcast_code=5352e901bf&height=550&width=470[/liveblog] Bookmark It http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/01/04/atlanta-blogs-today-peaches-n-corn/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/01/04/atlanta-blogs-today-peaches-n-corn/#comments Fri, 04 Jan 2008 20:29:17 +0000 Andisheh Nouraee http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/01/04/atlanta-blogs-today-peaches-n-corn/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/01/04/atlanta-blogs-today-peaches-n-corn/feed/ 3 The Drake Diner stops breakfast at 11.
