...only 18% of gay and transgender students said they had been assaulted in 2005 because of their sexual orientation (only 12% - probably many of the same kids - said they had been assaulted because of the way they express their gender). By comparison, according to a 2007 Centers for Disease Control report, 18.2% of male students and 8.8% of female students reported being in a physical fight at school in the last year. Of those in the GLSEN report who had been harassed or assaulted, more than one-tenth - 13% - said the incident wasn't serious enough to report. When they...
Kosovo's political status had been undetermined since 1999, when Serbian forces were forced to withdraw under NATO bombs. The province was then placed under U.N. control. Now, Kosovo's elected government is expected to assume more authority, although it will still be closely monitored by members of the newly established European Union mission.

In the meantime, like any good agnostic, I try not to think too hard. The stellar...
...Obama began their bids with months of fundraising and media spin, and it seems now that they will end it by soliciting votes from party elites instead of the American people.In a contest with just over 4,000 total delegates, these unpledged Democratic “superdelegates” control almost 800 votes—a 20 percent stake that could become the margin of victory in the nomination. The Republicans, gradually coalescing around John McCain, have been spared the superdelegate dogfight in 2008, but their policy is far from commendable: 19 percent of the delegates to the Republican National...
