News Tidbits

• Schwarzenegger's video game law - which makes it illegal to sell certain "violent video games" to minors without parental permission in California - has been declared unconstitutional by a federal court. I am not sure what I think about this. On one hand, I think it is good to empower parents to make decisions about what video games their children can purchase. On the other hand, I don't like when politicians meddle in the morality arena.
• Sen. Graham (R - S.C.) is facing plenty of criticism after he took a picture of himself with a sign stating: "Obama, Osama, and Chelsea's moma [sic] say cut and run." Commentators on CNN's website accuse Graham of being a "racist," and a "loser." Personally I think the sign is funny and true; most Democrats are unwilling to commit the troops and effort necessary to win the war in Iraq. I am sure that Osama Bin Laden would be delighted if one of the "defeatist" Democrats wins in '08.
• Edwards says, "When I am president, we’re going to tell the lobbyists and the big corporations they work for that their time is over, this game is over. We’re going to stop the rigging of this system. We’re going to put an end to this.” (source: CNN.com) Yeah right, because Edwards has absolutely no connections to lobbyists and big corporation; Edwards represents the true American with his expensive haircuts.
• Romney thinks he is at the same point on the political spectrum as Reagan was. Now that's just insulting to Reagan's memory.
