NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. – John Allen Ditullio is a walking billboard for the neo-Nazi movement. Jurors will never see any of it.
A belly-baring Britney Spears dropped jaws in the ’90s as a school girl destined for detention, wearing a skimpy pleated mini-skirt and a strategically tied oxford shirt. While back in the day that image had every middle school boy drooling, standing in a lineup with some of pop culture’s current heavy hitters makes it seem so “Sunday school.”
It’s Tuesday afternoon, and the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Art gallery is going through a transition. Ladders and construction tools are scattered on the floor of the west gallery, while the first pieces of art are mounted on the center gallery walls.

This Tuesday I read a disconcerting article in The New York Times. A shocking 121 people were killed in a string of car bombings in Iraq. On a more sinister note, the attack occurred just as Iraqi policy makers decided on a future date to hold elections. The same article recalled other discomforting facts: On Oct. 25, suicide bombings in Baghdad took the lives of 155 people. And in August, the Foreign and Finance ministries were hit by car bombings, resulting in over 120 deaths. Like many citizens in the United States, I feel awful, my stomach turning and heart aching, as news comes in about the latest suicide attack.

Reid compared “Republicans who oppose health care reform to lawmakers who clung to the institution of slavery more than a century ago.”
