1 year ago
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney appeared to pull off a narrow win in Ohio on Super Tuesday but lost several other states to challenger Rick Santorum.
The day of 10 primaries and caucuses produced no knockout punch, rather another split verdict that overshadowed Romney’s claim of collecting the most delegates.
Romney remains ahead in the delegate count, and thus the race for the nomination, but any hopes of asserting himself as the inevitable nominee fell short again.
Far from bringing more clarity to the GOP presidential race as some in the party had hoped, Tuesday’s

1 year ago
A hard fought measure to legalize same-sex marriage will officially be signed into law in Maryland today. The signing is set for 5 p.m. in the State House.
A marriage bill came within a whisker of passage in 2011, but was shelved in the House of Delegates at the last minute when leaders fell a few votes shy.
Securing those “few votes” this year took up much of the first 45 days of Maryland’s General Assembly’s legislative session, but it eventually got done.
Gov. Martin O’Malley will sign the bill into law today.
Though both the House and the Senate chambers are dominated by Democrats,

Adam Jasinski Sentenced to Four Years in Prison
2 years ago
Over a year since he was arrested in North Reading, Massachusetts, Adam Jasinski has been sentenced to four years in prison.
The champion of Big Brother 9 – who actually used his reality show winnings to set up a drug ring that included co-star Matt McDonald – was busted in October 2009 for trying to sell 2,000 oxycodone pills to a government informant. Smart, he is not.
It’s a good thing Adam Jasinski has experience living with strangers in tight quarters.
In handing down the sentence to the 32-year old, U.S. District Court Judge William Young decreed:

“In the spring, we’re thinking,” Ali said when asked about when she’d like to marry her new fiance, who she chose over the broken-hearted Chris Lambton.
While their wedding will likely be a big event – “Her mom wants like 700 people,” Martinez said – the couple already

Ali Fedotowsky: Frank Neuschaefer Who!?
2 years ago
Frank Neuschaefer’s shocking betrayal of Ali Fedotowsky, who he turned the tables on and dumped for his ex Nicole Caruso, rocked The Bachelorette this week.
But if you think Ali was effectively forced into her final two (Chris Lambton and Roberto Martinez) thanks to Frank and his surprise 180, you best think again.
“I can say with 100 percent certainty that Frank leaving did not affect my final decision,” Ali Fedotowsky told E! Online after being asked about Frank’s exit.
Which is not to say it didn’t wreak havoc at the time.
“There were so many things that were going through my mind,” she
