Emperors Club VIP - now I get it - Spitzer is snagged (Hot News Anchors)
2008-03-11 00:25:00
(Hot News Anchors)Gov. Eliot Spitzer - hmm, Spitzer Is Linked to Prostitution Ring - well, it just shows that vice is not Republican or Democratic - but so far, besides his lapse(s) Spitzer has been an excellent Attorney General and Governor of New York.The way I look at this - Bill Clinton got caught with his pants down and when his term was up it was hard for Al Gore to be elected - because people were really “upset” with his behavior.(Hot News Anchors)Yet, overall, Clinton was an excellent president who expanded the economy and created a lot of jobs and prosperity. Sure, he had some lapses - but, at the end of the day, they’re minor compared to what others have done, after him.Now, look what happened after Clinton left - would you call the 8 years … moral?If we had to pick morality - I’d take an excellent governor who had a lapse in judgement/behavior any day over someone who is an out and out hypocrite (and there’s enough evidence of that all over the place - one doe...

Hillary Wins Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island(Hot News Anchors)
2008-03-05 13:02:00
(Hot News Anchors)Well, Hillary Clinton not only won Ohio , but did it by a substantial margin, 56 - 42% with 90% of the vote in. She wins Rhodes Island , and more importantly Texas as well, and in addition to California and New York, this gives her ALL of the big states. If there is a redo of Florida and Michigan, she would win those too. A strong case can be made that Hillary should be the nominee, no longer is this Obama’s race to lose.(Hot News Anchors)You also cannot possibly say now, any of that nonsense about Hillary needing to drop out of the race. Why would somebody who has a clear majority in all of the most populated states drop out? If you look at the overall popular vote in these primaries, it paints her victories even stronger, the caucuses giving the edge to Obama in some districts despite the overall popular vote of the state.One thing that really strikes me is that overwhelmingly in polls the number one issue for voters is the economy. If there is one thing that sta...

He took up the banjo in his teens and in 1938, at the age of 19, assisted noted folk archivist and field recorder Alan Lomax on his song-collecting trips through the American South.

Tropic of Cancer (Hot News Anchors)
2008-01-25 10:52:00
(Hot News Anchors)The Tropic of Cancer , or Northern tropic, is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. It is the most northerly latitude at which the Sun can appear directly overhead at noon. This event occurs at the June solstice, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun to its maximum extent.The Tropic of Cancer currently lies 23° 26′ 22″ north of the Equator. North of this latitude are the subtropics and Northern Temperate Zone. The equivalent line of latitude south of the equator is called the Tropic of Capricorn, and the region between the two, centered on the Equator, is known as the Tropics.The line is called Tropic of Cancer because when it was named the sun was in the location of the constellation of Cancer (Latin for crab) in the sky at the June solstice. However, due to the precession of the equinoxes, the sun is now in the location of the constellation of Taurus at the June solstice. The word "tropic" itself comes from th...

Stonewall Jackson
2008-01-12 09:23:00
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824[1] – May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and probably the most revered Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee.[2] He is most famous for his audacious Valley Campaign of 1862 and as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. His own troops accidentally shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville, which the general survived, albeit with the loss of an arm to amputation. However, he died of complications of pneumonia several days later.Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in United States history. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army right wing at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide even today as examples of innovative and bold leadership. He excelled as well at the First Battle of Bull Run (where he received his famous nickname "Stonewall"), Second Bull Run, Antietam, and Fredericksbur...

Names of numbers larger than a quadrillion are almost never used, for reasons discussed further below. It is debatable which of them should be considered real working English vocabulary and which are merely trivia, curiosities, or coinages. The following table lists those names of numbers which are found in many English dictionaries and thus have a special claim to being "real words". The "Traditional British" values shown are unused in American English and are becoming obsolete in British English, but are dominant in many non-English-speaking areas, including continental Europe and Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America; see Long and short scales.Apart from million, the words in this list ending with -illion are all derived by adding Latin prefixes (bi-, tri-, etc.) to the stem -illion.[10] Centillion[11] appears to be the highest name ending in -illion that is included in these dictionaries. Trigintillion, often cited as a word in discussions of names of large numbers, is not...
