Perhaps if the Ohio woman had been hit with a sniper round, Hillary could have had an "I told you so" opportunity.
the smartest woman in the world
how is Beyonce getting married ATL news? What is this, Perez Hilton?
How will Mark Penn's departure affect Penn State's US News ranking?
I regularly read this blog, but I've totally missed the begining of this "penn state" meme. When did it start and why?
Beyone and Jay-Z's possible wedding news but no coverage on Charlton Heston?
The wedding item has a slight legal angle - the AP article refers to rumors of a marriage license.
And Charlton Heston doesn't have a legal angle? Hello, The Ten Commandments. Don't disrespect Moses or else he will unleash the plagues on you.
219 women and children removed just like that. What ever happened to property rights in this country?
There are recent rumblings about St. Mary's College of Maryland adding a law school. Any coverage on this would be greatly appreciated!
Lat - Completely unrelated, but did you notice that Eric Krautheimer has relocated to S&C's LA office?
Most interesting thing would be to see if a pre-nup was drawn up, the terms, etc.
