Political Disgrace
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his chief of staff lied about their sexual relationship last summer at a police whistle-blower trial that cost the cash-strapped city more than $9 million. The mayor is now fighting a Free Press effort to learn about what role secret text messages played in the mayor's decision to settle the cases.

O'Reilly Doesn't Like Rappers
Bill O’Reilly has responded to Nas’ protest at Fox headquarters, calling the demonstration nothing more than a publicity stunt. “As you may have heard, that guy [Nas] is accusing Fox News of being a racist organization. This from a person that makes a living peddling the ‘n word’ and violent lyrics to his target audience of children and young adults,” O’Reilly stated last night on his show the O’Reilly Factor. “He is a real champ.”

Does McCain Connect With Young Voters?
Young conservatives are worried that Sen. John McCain is not appealing to their generation. Many young Republicans indicate that Sen. Barack Obama -- the 46-year-old junior senator from Illinois -- is inspiring voters their age, but McCain -- the 71-year-old senator who has been in office since the early '80s -- is not.
One factor that has emerged is that McCain does not understand the importance of the internet. On MySpace, Obama has more than 427,000 friends, compared with less than 60,000 for McCain. Also, McCain has admitted he doesn't use e-mail.
In the upcoming presidential election, McCain must work to connect with young voters.
