Delayed slightly with the downtime here, so it's a little late for midday where many of you are.
- More than 100 gay and lesbian families are going to be at the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday. What's Dobson going to have to say about that?
- Local civil rights NGOs in Iraq conducted a survey, finding that women were treated better and their rights more respected under Saddam Hussein than they are now. What was that about bringing democracy and civil rights to the Iraqi people?
- Want to get out and enjoy spring in your neck of the woods? What better way than the DNC's 50 State Canvass? Crash the gates one neighbor at a time. It'll all add up.
- Chafee's woes in reelection are coming from the right as well as the left. This is a seat ripe for the taking.
- This didn't get any national attention, but yet another DHS employee--this one a TSA worker in Hailey, Idaho--has been arrested for kidnapping a 10 year old boy. The police found that the guy also had several different birth dates and Social Security numbers. You'd think DHS would have been able to screen this guy out.
- This is kind of personal, but another post from the blog linked to above details a very small-town version of Katrina. It's unexpected in this part of Idaho, which has experienced a long, long drought. Federal funds for shoring up the town's retaining wall have long been promised, and never received. Because of heavier than normal snow falls and spring rains, Gooding, the town I was born in, is in danger of flooding. An impossible thing to imagine. We always got our supplies from Gooding, and I have very fond memories of trips with Mom to the feed store, bakery, and to have cherry Cokes at the Lincoln Inn.
