According to a story in the BBC, Steve Bruce, the manager of Hull City FC:

might be upsetting people but there is a question of the rape and how he's been convicted by a jury

A troubling story in England has taken a disgusting turn. Ched Evans, a former professional soccer player in England was convicted of rape in 2012, released after serving half his term, attempted to sign a deal with a 3rd level team, and after the deal fell apart, this is the latest news.

(Note: I didn't see this diaried elsewhere, but will delete if someone beat me to it)

Rachel Parent is a 14 year old girl and founder of Kids Right to Know, a group that's campaigning for labeling of GMOs in Canada. She is incredibly well-spoken for a 14 year old and called out a television host, Kevin O'Leary from CBC, challenging him to a debate. He probably thought that he could just steamroll a 14 year old and make her and the movement look stupid/feel bad/whatever went through his mind... but he thought wrong.

Cue Republican gloating in 3,2,1.

Breaking news from ABC is that Chicago is out of the running for the Olympics on the first ballot. Rio, Madrid, and Tokyo are all still in.

This diary is in response to one written about a week ago here discussing John Hall's evasiveness on the public option. I wrote to Rep. Hall asking for clarification on his position on the public option. I am not entirely thrilled with it, and he does not explicitly endorse a robust public option.

I was perusing CNN.com while I was supposed to be doing my work, and read an article that got me a little fired up. Now I'm diary-ing about it (is that a word?) instead of doing my work.

Here is the article... "5 reasons GOP will rebound"

I am young. Because of that, many of my political memories center around Clinton's acrimonious relationship with Newt Gingrich and the Republicans in Congress followed by Bush's blatant disregard for a majority of the country. I have very, very rarely seen two parties work together for the good of the country.

Barack Obama spoke to me. He gave millions a vision of the future that we hadn't dared to think about for a long, long time. This was a vision of hope, unity, and actually putting country over politics.

It seems that it's not just Democrats that feel that way.

This is a pretty long diary, I tried to write it as a narrative, because that's what it is. I had a very interesting trip to meet my girlfriend's family this past weekend outside of Erie, PA, including many hours of political discourse with people who I would have bet my life had drastically different political views than I do. Jump right in, I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts

So I'm at work right now and just received a nice little anti-Obama e-mail. I'm not well-versed on the intricacies of his policies, but I know many of you are. I want to respond to this e-mail sooner rather than later but unfortunately work might prevent that from happening. I think there's nothing more fun for many people on DKos than to respond to Obama smears and make the senders look bad, so please have at it...
