...Journey's die-hard fans - and there are plenty - have embraced Pineda with open arms. When Nell, who did not want to reveal her real name, started an Arnel Pineda fan site in December, the Florida-based web developer says angry Journey fans left death threats on her answering machine. The band's traditional fanbase is mostly white and American, and some are upset that Pineda is neither. "Journey is supposed to be an all-American band," one fan wrote in an online forum...
...version, which I've been beta-testing for weeks, has a number of new features that make it worth the minute or so it takes to download and install it.

Like Russert, they were from working-class Catholic families and combined an intellectual appreciation of Democratic policies with a visceral understanding of Democratic voters. Moynihan was an intellectual raised in Hell's Kitchen; Cuomo was a gritty minor league...

A mention there of Obama's birth certificate spurred National Review Online to demand that he produce it to dispel groundless reports that Obama was actually born in Kenya and therefore would be constitutionally ineligible to be President; that his middle name is not Hussein but Muhammad; and that his mother actually named him Barry. That National Review article in turn became fodder for cable television...
