Kennedy Steps Back Into Spotlight
Politician Returns After Rehab Stay
POSTED: 6:08 pm EDT June 5, 2006
UPDATED: 6:30 pm EDT June 5, 2006
BOSTON -- He'll take things day to day, but Rep. Patrick Kennedy said that he is ready to resume his public life.
NewsCenter 5's Janet Wu reported that the Rhode Island politician returned to his home state Monday after a month-long rehab stay to fight an addiction to prescription drugs.
Kennedy stepped back into the spotlight, seemingly unguarded, willing to take all questions and responsibility. But are all the embarrassing, personal headlines in his past?
"I can't make that promise. This is a disease of one day at a time," Kennedy said.

Gunmen in police uniforms raided bus stations Monday in central Baghdad, kidnapping at least 50 people, including drivers and passengers preparing to travel outside Iraq, an Interior Ministry official said. The attackers also grabbed people working in the area, where several travel agencies are based and buses pick up passengers traveling mostly to Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, Lt. Col. Falah al-Mohamedawi said.

The Nation: Disciples Of 'The Hammer' Will Carry On His 'De-Legacy'
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/05/opinion/main1680814.shtml
If the toothless lobbying "reform" bill approved by the House and Senate is any indication, we haven't seen the last of the likes of Jack Abramoff or Tom DeLay. DeLay exits Congress June 9, but his influence lives on. His former deputy, Dennis Hastert, remains Speaker of the House. His key liaison to lobbyists on K Street, Roy Blunt, is majority whip. Even John Boehner, a rival from the Gingrich years, retained three DeLay staffers when he became majority leader. More important, the Hammer left many nails behind among the lower tier of House GOP leadership members, committee chairmen, party spokesmen and fundraisers he propelled to power. These are the people who will shape the GOP's agenda for years to come. Here are five disciples who are carrying on DeLay's legacy. Eric Cantor (age 43). A fast-rising third-term Congressman, Cantor distinguished himself as DeLay's "chief defender," according to Roll Call. He was appointed chief deputy majority whip — the fourth-most powerful position in the House — at the ripe age of 39. Cantor became the youngest member of the House leadership after a DeLay staffer recommended he be named Blunt's deputy over a host of older and more qualified candidates. Thus, when DeLay's ethical problems piled up in 2004 and '05, the Virginian held countless press conferences and strategy sessions with conservative activists to protect his leader.

DeLay departure will be a deliberately low-key affair By Patrick O’Connor
Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) will leave Congress this week with a pronounced lack of fanfare.
The former majority leader ends his almost-24-year congressional career this week when he officially resigns Friday.
The controversial Texan leaves Capitol Hill under a cloud of doubt about the election-year prospects for his Republican colleagues, and his last week in the House promises to be an understated affair.

Decentralization inhibits ability to suppress avian flu
Disease killed 1 personevery 2½ days in May
By MARGIE MASONThe Associated Press

Indonesia averaged one human bird flu death every 2½ days in May, putting it on pace to soon surpass Vietnam as the world's hardest-hit country.
The latest death, announced Wednesday, was a 15-year-old boy whose preliminary tests were positive for the H5N1 virus. It comes as international health officials express growing frustration that they must fight Indonesia's bureaucracy as well as the disease.

In that last hour I read material on nearly eight different subjects in about nine articles. All were credible journalism and I was able to render opinion on the 'focus' of the CNN propaganda regarding the Marriage Amendment including the polygamist culture which is supposed to encourage the frenzy for a marriage amendment. No one watching Anderson Cooper 360 can make the same claim to being informed.
