Chelsea's Quiet Pitch for Her Mom
Chelsea Clinton has no trouble talking, as it turns out, though she doesn't seem to enjoy it much. The former First Kid took audience questions for nearly an hour at a small campaign event today at the University of Maryland, where she was articulate, knowledgeable and almost completely without affect. There's a reason most people have never heard her voice; at a campaign rally in Utah on Jan. 29, Chelsea told the crowd she'd never spoken in public before, and "I'm feeling a little bit intimidated about that.'' She did not seem particularly nervous in front of a couple of hundred people on the campus in College Park, but rarely smiled as she reeled off the details of her mother's campaign proposals in a soft near-monotone. On a makeshift stage in the student union's lower level food court, she said hello and made just one point about her mom—briefly pitching her as a fiscal conservative—before going straight to the Q & A.
Iran demands exclusive IAEA oversight
TEHRAN, Iran—Iran's top leader demanded an end to U.N. Security Council oversight of the country's nuclear program during a meeting Saturday with the chief of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, state-run television reported. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters in Iran, told International Atomic Energy Agency head Mohamed ElBaradei that the IAEA should exclusively handle Iranian nuclear questions—not the security council. "There is no justification for Iran's nuclear dossier to remain at the U.N. Security Council," state TV quoted Khamenei as telling ElBaradei. Iran is under two sets of U.N. Security Council sanctions for its refusal to freeze uranium enrichment, a potential pathway to nuclear arms, and Washington is pushing for additional U.N. penalties.
Sunday night insights
Chelsea Clinton or Sam Woods? -- Tough loss for the SCOREGolf team at Q107's Office Wars last week. Kudos to those who made it out for us so early in the morning – me, I was busy having a staring competition with the back of my eyelids. Bites Why should I spend my Friday afternoon watching Samuel L. Jackson hit bunker shots? Better than spending my Friday night watching him in Snakes on a Plane, I guess -- I'm not keen on the whole celebrity golf thing, but George Lopez entertains the hell out of me -- Had the chance to play the South Course at Torrey Pines in November. The La Jolla muni hosts this week's Buick Invitational and the U.S. Open in June. It's a good course on a great piece of property, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the top 10 courses in this country. Too many mediocre holes and too few on the ocean -- The new PGA Tour cut rule is both difficult to understand and completely unfair, like a jigsaw puzzle without the corner pieces -- You've got the chance to rewrite one section in the Rules of Golf.
