| 2008 Bonnaroo lineup announced
Beer isn't likely to be spilled in your lap or tossed in your face. An overexcited fan probably won't sing in your ear throughout the entire concert. Carelessly waved cigarettes won't singe your skin. The hulking dude in front of you isn't going to hoist his girlfriend onto his shoulders, blocking your view of the stage. All of these things, and more, have happened at shows I've attended in the Birmingham area. Obnoxious seat stealers have refused to move until an usher was called.

Nader Runs, Obama Responds Wisely
Ralph Nader is running again for president. After four previous bids, mounted in varying forums and with varying goals, Nader is used to the slings and arrows that will be tossed his way. He is conscious and committed. He will not back off. He knows how to campaign in the face of a firestorm of criticism. Above all, he knows how to make himself heard — even when almost everyone who guides the political processes of the nation wants to shut him up. The latter knowledge will serve him well in a 2008 contest where the man who is either a national treasure or a national frustration, or perhaps both, may find himself more marginalized than ever before. Nader is running for the same reason he has run in the past: Because the likely nominees of the two major parties do not begin to meet the standards that might reasonably be asked of progressive contenders in 21st-century America.

Legislator: Sorry for calling unmarried teen parents 'sluts'
Larry Liston said in a statement. “Because of my unfortunate choice of language, the message that I was trying to get across about personal responsibility, and parental responsibility, has been overshadowed. "I certainly regret using the term I did." Wednesday, Liston, appearing at a GOP legislative caucus in Denver, said: “In my parents' day and age, (unmarried teen parents) were sent away, they were shunned, they were called what they are. There was at least a sense of shame. “There's no sense of shame today," Liston continued, according to the The Gazette of Colorado Springs. "Society condones it. ... I think it's wrong. They're sluts. And I don't mean just the women. I mean the men, too." Rep. Stella Garza Hicks, who was at the meeting, said Liston should apologize.
