OBAMA, US POLITICS

Brownback’s Political Explanation for Supporting Kathleen Sebelius
The move gets her out of Kansas, Brownback’s argument goes, heading off her expected run for the Senate in 2010. Which means the Sunflower State Senate seat that Brownback’s vacating for a gubernatorial run is likely to stay in Republican hands, since the Kansas Democratic Party doesn’t have another candidate who is half as popular as Sebelius. And that’s good for the antiabortion cause, according to the reasoning. But that doesn’t mean antiabortion groups support the plan. “It’s wrong on two counts,” McClusky tells me. “They’re putting politics before policy. And secondly, the Republicans are trying to predict an election two years out, which is impossible.”

A new study on American religion finds that Catholicism is facing a “stunning” decline in the northeast United States as the population center of U.S. Catholics shifts towards the southwest.

‘Losing My Religion’ by William Lobdell
A former religion reporter for the L.A. Times writes about conversion and loss of faith. His work led him to uncover priestly abuse. As if the injury done to the children weren’t enough, the cardinals were cowardly, the priests corrupt. The more he investigated, the more he found: lies, cover-ups, bishops alighting from limousines to have their rings kissed.

Analyst sees Windows 7 done by summer
Microsoft will finalize the code for Windows 7 by June or July and also suggested that a search deal with Yahoo is likely to happen sooner rather than later.

It’s not news that Microsoft will get Windows 7 out as fast as possible this year. Vista has been a complete dog, so Microsoft will rush to deliver what is essentially a cleaned-up, lightweight version. What is news is that Google will have its own contender for desktop operating system king: Android.
