We've all heard it: We're in a recession. Gas prices are ridiculous, the cost of goods are rising, but for some people it's not all bad news. After years of inequality, gay and lesbian couples can finally apply for marriage licenses in California. This could mean a lot to our troubled economy.

On July 1, California's long-debated ban on the use of handheld cell phones while driving went into effect. So many motorists are guilty of this - many of us have been stuck behind a crazy driver only to discover, in passing, that he or she is on the phone.
Using a cell phone while behind the wheel severely impairs your driving. A study at the University of Utah concluded that people were just as impaired when they drive while talking on a cell phone as they were with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent, which is the legal limit.
Therefore, the rationale for the ban seems reasonable. But while well-intentioned, this law ultimately doesn't make the roads any safer. In fact, it misses the point so completely that it may make the problem worse by lulling chatty motorists into a false sense of security.

Arrogant, rich elitist, country clubber and most of all, snide.
Who does that describe? Scooter Libby, President George W. Bush, both Clintons? Well, according to Karl Rove, none of them.
It describes Sen. Barack Obama.
