  4. Obama's pot reform goes up in smoke

    I would shrug and say "So what?" to the latest details from President Barack Obama's pot-smoking past, except for one thing: He stirred so much hope as a candidate for sensible marijuana policy reforms but, as president, has delivered so little change.

  7. Star Wars geeks find religion with "Jediism"

    Over a decade ago, a few thousand <strong>Star Wars</strong> fans in New Zealand brought about the birth of the religion known as "<strong>Jediism</strong>." The belief system is based on the teachings of the mystic, lighsaber-wielding warriors in <strong>George Lucas</strong>' science fantasy saga. (It isn't endorsed by Lucas, who in fact once said in an<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/1204829.stm" target="_blank"> interview </a>that fellow filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola suggested he start his own religion, but he eschewed the idea.) And after getting its start overseas, the faith is starting to gain traction in the United States.

  10. Election Day Can't Come Soon Enough

    The Hartford Courant
    Like everyone else, I really want this election to be over. And I like this stuff. With two days still to go, I have already burned through at least a half-dozen "mute" buttons trying to avoid the attack ads. I don't mind that the ads usually rely on...

  11. Why Obama/Romney won

    WASHINGTON -- We don't yet know who will win next week's election, but we may know why. To answer, we don't need to explain most voting. Remember: the race has been tight for months. Most people decided long ago, probably on the basis of strong partisan and ideological views or deep personal likes and dislikes. All we need to explain is why the undecided swung victory one way or the other.
