FREE SPEECH ZONE.

I got some complaints for not writing about McCain's candidacy "announcement" on Wednesday. Well, it wasn't really news. I'm tired of all these candidates -- D and R alike -- announcing and re-announcing their candidacies in these staged events devoid of real news ... Also, congrats to the New Hampshire Legislature for passing civil union legislation for same-sex couples. Governor John Lynch (D) has promised to sign the bill into law.
