Barack & Emil.
Sometimes friendship saves the day.
Just finished writing Sunday's column..which will be online Saturday....
The curtain goes up, thanks to a call from Barack Obama to Emil Jones, on the Senate's reconsideration of the ethics bill following Governor Blagojevich's amendatory veto.

Did I mention moms? Good grief, I meant to. You, my sisters, are the most important of all.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Though all eyes remain focused on Sarah Palin after her take-no-prisoners convention speech, we must not miss the other news of this day.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Perhaps Bristol Palin planned to have a baby at 17. Perhaps she didn't. Either way, it's none of my business.
