Recently there have been lots of articles about the 2 affirmative action cases, one in Louisville, KY & the other in Washington state which will be decided by the court later in the current term however I've been unable to find the names of the two cases.
Does anyone know the names?

How dare British Airways be nice enough to offer Heather Mills a wheelchair at theairport so she doesn't have to wobble around and strain her leg?

Is this just rudeness, arrogance? Is it that she's cracking up under all the media pressure? How do you feel she is treated by the media in general? Do you believe that this story is a load of spiteful nonsense?

http://www.metro.co.uk/fame/article.html?in_article_id=28127&in_page_id=7
HEATHER Mills accused British Airways of humiliating her after staff got a wheelchair instead of a buggy to take her to her flight. The former model, who has an artificial leg, asked her helper: "Have you got it in for me?" Heather, 38, was overhead telling staff: "This is vile! Why are you doing this to me? Don’t you know I have only one leg? Why are you treating me like this?" Heather, involved in a bitter divorce battle with her ex-husband Sir Paul McCartney, checked in at Gatwick airport at 7am for her flight to Brussels. She had requested a wheelchair when she booked her economy flight but apparently expected to get a ride to the departure gate in an electric buggy.

James Baker and his panel of bipartisan experts released their findings today, and recommended strategies for resolving the Iraqi war. My personal opinion is that it's all pig swaddle. Plus, I'd like to know how much American taxpayers paid Baker, his associates, and the Carlye Group for writing this report. -RKO-

Our tiny island will make no difference whatsoever to pollution control, in the meantime China and India will laugh at our stupid Politicians who believe our country is still important in the world order.

And we will continue to pay more taxes than any other country.

there is a new smoking ban taking place in Ohio starting today. it bans smoking basically everywhere (practically) but your own home. in one country, they already have a law out making smoking while driving illegal. so, whatever happened to freedom? isn't it enough that people have to go outside on their breaks at work. if you live in apartments or attached condos you are screwed! its about freedom of choice! isn't that what america was based on? why can't people just let people smoke outside wherever? maybe making a 5 foot distance... not 20?!?

by the way, i am not a smoker...

I don't know if it's the consensus opinion, but I believe it's an honest and accurate opinion

"1st Lt. Gerard Dow said he agreed with the commission's assessment that the situation in Iraq was "grave and disappointing."

"In Iraq, we try to win the hearts and minds of population," said Dow, 32, of Chicago. "They want Americans out of here. They blame us for all their problems. They look at us as the terrorists and then they turn around and help the terrorists who are trying to kill us."

Dow trained Iraqi soldiers in Ramadi and in the north during his first assignment in Iraq, and he doubts U.S. forces will be able to hand over the fighting by early next year as the commission recommends.

"The Iraqi army is getting there," he said. "But they are still not where they need to be and I doubt they will be by then. Too many times, they are in a selfish state of mind. Too often they are along for the ride while we do the work for them."

Do cable companies report how many people watch certain shows? How do they know how many viewers and what shows are the most watched? Does little 'ole me make a difference? Are my shows I watch counted?
