The marriage ban has energized the Family Research Institute, whose Web site is devoted almost entirely to this single issue. Founded in 1986, the institute has been led since 1998 by [Julaine Appling], an Atlanta native who served on Watertown's school board until last year. The institute's mission is "to forward Judeo-Christian principles and values in Wisconsin." Appling says her group has "ten or eleven" paid staffers, all of whom are Christian. She attends a Baptist church in Watertown and says, "My faith saturates every component of my life.

Karl Rove, the presidential adviser dubbed "George Bush's brain," has announced he will resign at the end of this month. Washington pundits and poobahs will be ladling out memories of his brilliance and praise of the accomplishment of the architect of the Bush presidential victories. Abroad, Rove stood with the neoconservatives who scorned the "real· ity-based community." The U.S. was so powerful militarily, they argued, that it could create its own reality.

But despite the structural advantages, Bloomberg actually faced a number of formidable obstacles to his bid for a third term, the most serious of which was public anger over his push to extend the city's term limits law. In 2008, citing the need for an experienced leader to lead the city out of the worsening financial crisis, Bloomberg allies on the city council overturned the term limits law, opening the way for the mayor to seek a third term.

We have the world in a dentist's chair," writes former Key West resident Jim Harrison in a scathing new poem called "After the War" that is doing the rounds of those who care. The poem's 53 verses are filled with lines like "Congress is as fake as television sex. The parts are off a few inches and don't actually meet. This is P.T.'s Late Night bar and restaurant back when it was the Big Fleet, one of many bars where a woman could lose her mind in the rough-and-tumble no-man's land of Caroline Street, including the Swinging Doors, the Midget and the Bucket of Blood. The Big Fleet became P.T.'s Late Night in 1986 when partners Paul Tripp and Bobby Mongelli created a business that survives today as a piece of old Key West and a local favorite.
