...after all, if you discriminate in favor of one group on the basis of race, you thereby discriminate against another group on the basis of race." He concluded that "you can't defend policies that are based on group preferences." Fast forward to the Democratic National Convention this summer, when Lieberman quickly repudiated these earlier comments. He announced that he had changed his views, saying that he "did not understand the language" of Proposition 209, which he had so eloquently supported in 1995.

There are real policy differences, of course, but personality trumps those. The answer is emerging - the sum of Al's weirdness works out to be less than the sum of W.'s dumbness...
...trio of Eagles - Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Timothy B. Schmit - united to remind the audience how that '60s spirit became tempered by the sobering realities of the '70s and '80s, from "Desperado" and "Peaceful Easy Feeling" to Henley's post-nostalgic "Boys Of Summer...
