The "war against our will" continues because Americans are so apathetic that they can't be bothered to vote out of office whoever fails to change the course in Iraq. The buck stops with American citizens, as in any democracy. In terms of citizenship, you're as lazy and irresponsible as these celebrities you're obsessed with. .
Kentucky Chamber announces 'New Agenda' results
The initiative, launched last April, was designed to encourage Kentuckians to suggest ways to improve the state, and funnel those ideas into an action agenda that will be presented to Gov. Steve Beshear and other policy officials. A task force of business executives and entrepreneurs was formed to guide the process of developing the agenda and help solicit ideas from the public through a designated Web site, community meetings, outreach to civic organizations and community groups, and interviews with experts and opinion leaders. The task force was led by Craig Grant, regional president of PNC Bank, and included local business leaders such as Ed Glasscock, co-managing partner of Frost Brown Todd LLC; Joan Coleman, president of AT&T Kentucky; Sean O'Leary, CEO of Genscape Inc.; Steve Sexton, president of Churchill Downs; Chris Spalding, president of the Young Professionals Association of Louisville; and Stephen Williams, president and CEO of Norton Healthcare Inc.
Dylan descends on Dallas House of Blues
Bob Dylan's music seems to have always been a part of contemporary American life, yet so little is known about him. The 66-year-old singer/songwriter, who rose to prominence on a wave of a cultural revolution in the mid-'60s, made an art out of toying with the press early on. Unwilling to reveal much of himself or his creative process, Dylan delighted in non sequiturs and folding questions back upon themselves during interviews from that heady era. Then he withdrew from the spotlight in the '70s and spent much of the decade reeling from a series of personal trials. Dylan was almost reclusive, resisting any attempt to lift the veil of mystery surrounding his music. It remains true today as most new interviews with Dylan seem like exercises in futility, round-robins of insightful queries and opaque responses.
Carter ‘picks’ spots well
But Wisconsin free safety Shane Carter, who initially stopped short of Mathews, expecting a better pass, leaped backward and made a spectacular one-handed grab. It was a play that usually isn't known to be part of a defensive player's repertoire. More like a wide receiver, Carter was able to keep the ball alive with his hand-eye coordination and hold on for the early forced turnover. The pick set up the game's first touchdown and an early Wisconsin 7-0 lead, one the Badgers would never relinquish. "I don't know how he caught that," UW cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu said of Carter's pick following the Michigan game. "Shane's a ballhawk, he's always around the ball, and I'm not surprised that he made that catch. He's got great hands." Fitting, since that's the position the younger brother of former Minnesota Viking and future Hall of Fame receiver Chris Carter wanted to play.

Daily Blabber Celebrity Gossip Blog from iVillage Entertainment
I know you thought Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds got married last weekend, in a posh ceremony on a island off Bora Bora, but you were mistaken. Their nups may have been fancy and fabulous -- but they weren't legal. In the Unites States, an international wedding is only recognized if the ceremony adheres to local laws in the country it takes place. Bora Bora is under French law, which stipulates a wedding is valid only if the couple has been in the territory for 30 days (they hadn't) or if they are married in a town hall by a mayor (they weren't). Tracey's rep said that the couple's island party "was a ceremony to bind Eddie and Tracey spiritually" and that they would make it legal when they got back home. I think this is great news for Tracey -- she still has a chance to change her mind and run for the hills.
