Now Al Gore s dog is the center of a campaign flap in the race for the White House. stanley cup Democrat Gore told seniors in Tallahassee, Fla., on Aug. 28 that his mother-in-law Margaret Ann Aitcheson pays $108 a month for the brand-name drug Lodine, while it only costs $37.80 a month to administer the same drug to his arthritic dog Shiloh.The Boston Globe on Monday raised doubts about that claim. It reported that the vice president s figures actually were national averages taken from a House Democratic study.

He ll meet with House Republicans at 12:15pm and with Senate Republicans at 1:25pm.Pol stanley kaffeebecher itico s David Rogers points out, The twin visits are an exceptional gesture for any president, but they follow two ominous signs late Monday. First, Obama s choice for treasury secretary and economic point man, Timothy Geithner, won Senate confirmation by just a 60-34 vote. Second, the Congressional Budget Office issued its final report suggesting that only about two-thirds of the money would reach the economy in the next 18 to 19 months, well short of the goal set by Obama. The 23 page CBO report, the first full analysis by the budget office of the House bill, predicts the measure will have a noticeable impact on economic growth and emplo stanley cup yment in the next few years.

The president has his work cut out for him as Congressional Republicans ramp up their criticism of the plan and continue to hammer their strategy: that the stimulus package is classic liberal spending and not enough stimulus.

WAS vaso stanley HINGTON - The government is expanding its definition of rape, including men for the first time when counting the number of victims, the Obama administration announced Friday.The expansion, which supporters say is long overdue, is important because policymakers and lawmak stanley vattenflaska ers use crime statistics to allocate resources for prevention and victim assistance.In a press briefing, senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett called the change a very, very important step because it counts men and because it includes rapes of women other than by physical force.

The revised definition covers any gender of victim or attacker and includes instances in which the victim is incapable of giving consent due to the influence of drugs or alcohol or because of age.

Rape is a devastating crime, and we can t solve it unless we know the full extent of it, Vice President Joe Biden said in a statement.Biden, author of the Violence Against Women Act when he was in the Senate, said the new definition is a victory for women and men whose suffering has gone unaccounted for over 80 years.
