Win for Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa is a seven-day cultural event honoring black and African heritage. Evans said that based on the evidence presented, "it has not been shown to be a religious celebration." The Chancery court room was standing room only Wednesday morning, filled with members of the media, curious spectators and a handful of Kwanzaa supporters dressed in colorful African garb. Reaction was mixed. State Rep. G.A. Hardaway, D-Memphis, called it a case of the "Grinch stealing Kwanzaa." Memphis resident Ron Crook, who was in Chancery Court for other business, said the verdict could open doors for other spiritual organizations to come knocking for the right to host events. "It just becomes a big mess." he said. Representing Thomas, attorney Anthony Pietrangelo argued that allowing the celebration would be discriminatory, and in violation of the First Amendment, because the county attorney had denied Thomas the right to host a Christian party yet allowed the Kwanzaa event to take place.

Why The Right Loves a Disaster
I see 100s of thousands of cluster munitions planted in Southern Lebanese farmlands. And most importantly, I see a new flux of US reconstruction dollars flooding Lebanon. Is this the example of “true" American influence. France's new leader seems to think it is good. .
