Bill Clinton thinks a little more golf in this country could go a long way — from easing the partisan gridlock in Washington to even helping slash the deficit. In an interview with reporters on Thursday, the former president said Americans have made important strides in combating racism and sexism and accepting homosexuals, but that they still have a long ways to go in being more tolerant of people who have different opinions. [...] “Golf brings people together,” he said. Once you actually see somebody as a human being, it becomes impossible to disregard what they have to say, and you might learn something. I think it’s really important.”

Politico: Reporter Kendra Marr resigned her position Thursday after a New York Times reporter alerted editors to similarities between his transportation policy story and Marr’s story. Editors examined more of Marr’s work and discovered at least seven instances in which “specific turns of phrase or passages … bore close resemblance to work published elsewhere. Others involved similarities in the way stories were organized to present their findings. … Material published in our pages borrowed from the work of others, without attribution, in ways which we cannot defend and will not tolerate.”

Operation Rescue, the radical anti-abortion terrorism group responsible for the murder of Dr. Tiller, has not-so-subtley found a new target. This time around, they're focused on an anonymous female doctor who travels in a mask to underserved areas to perform abortions to women in need. They've released her name, sketches of her face, and information on how to find her mom. Nobody's more classy than those anti-choice terrorists. The doctor in question travels to dangerous and hostile parts of the country, but she does so in a mask so her picture can't be plastered all over the internet by homicidal weirdos. She also operates under an assumed name. It's hard to harass someone performing a legal medical procedure that benefits women when thy don't have a real name or a picture!
