According to the 2000 Census, Native Americans are only 1.5 percent of the US population, but their participation in this year's presidential election might be especially important. American Indians are a critical voting bloc in several swing states, according to a recent study.

"I don't know what it is, but, there's something that goes on between women. You men know that because it's the same for you. I'm not saying one sex is better than the other. I'm just saying, like speaks to like. Love, or whatever, doesn't always keep, so you find out what does, if you're lucky."

I’m sitting here with a largish bruise on my left shoulder and several scrapes and cuts along my legs because I fell on my bike today. I would say that I fell off my bike but that wouldn’t necessarily be true because when I went over I was still very much seated on my bike.

Dear Mattel,

Your Barbie movies have been a part of our household for the past 4
years.  Dancing princesses, princesses and paupers, fairies and
mermaids….all of these have been embraced by my two daughters with
complete and utter adoration.  My girls sing the songs, they dance
along, they wish for magic lands and sparkly adventures.

In August, I did a little fundraising experiment that involved Twitter and an integrated offline component at the Gnomedex Conference in Seattle.  I was able to raise $2,657 to cover the costs of college tuition for Leng Sopharath, an orphan in Cambodia in just 90 minutes. By the end of the conference, the total had climbed to $3,774.
