Clinton congratulated Obama — not for winning the nomination, but for running an “extraordinary race.” She recognized Obama and his supporters “for all they accomplished.”
Also, and very ungracious
The Associated Press has just identified Obama as clinching the Democratic nomination. MSNBC is following suit and referring to Obama as "the nominee" as I watch right now.

Not surprisingly, State Rep. Nathan Macias has filed a lawsuit in the hopes of keeping his seat in House District 73, which he lost to Doug Miller after a recount showing him losing by 17 votes.

“There is no other option but to ask a judge to order a new election,” Macias, R-Bulverde, said at an Austin news conference. “My hope is that for all our sakes, we ensure that a fair, open and honest election takes place.”
Macias claimed that a comparison of the Democratic and Republican primary election voter lists shows that 253 people in District 73 illegally voted in both contests.
“Our position in the lawsuit is you just can’t know who really won this election,” said Macias’ lawyer, Rene Diaz.

The United States has refused to set a specific target for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions at a UN climate conference in Bali. The US says it will host a separate dialogue of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters in 2008, at which clear numbers could be discussed. The European Union and other countries want the Bali conference to set a goal for industrialized countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 25 to 40 percent by 2020. But the United States says it will not change its position and instead stresses the importance of developing countries, previously exempt from the Kyoto Protocol, to start cutting their CO2 omissions. These countries say they fear such cuts would curb their economic growth. As the biggest greenhouse gas emitter in the world the US has long baulked at agreeing to binding cuts, refusing to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. The differing responsibilities of developed and developing countries are one of the top issues in Bali, with emissions fro

BANGKOK, Nov 30 (TNA) - The Central Administrative Court has rejected a petition lodged by people around Suvarnabhumi international airport to prohibit night-time flights which they claimed generated noise pollution in the neighborhood. The Central Administrative Court turned down the petition lodged by 359 residents who desperately cited noise pollution caused by landings and take-offs of airliners. They were calling for the termination of 166 flights,mostly international, scheduled between 10 pm and 5 am daily. However, the court ruled the international flights at Suvarnabhumi airport could not be called off at the expense of passenger inconveniences and Thailand's credibility in the eyes of foreigners visiting the country daily. International flights were scheduled six months in advance by a world aviation body in Canada in order to accommodate bookings and f
Fighting the curse of the face-eating tumour
A Jehovah’s Witness who for decades refused all surgery on his horrific facial disfigurement has been given hope by a British doctor and new medical technology.
Unwilling to accept a blood transfusion, Jose Mestre has allowed the bloody tumour that first appeared on his lip in adolescence to obliterate almost all of his face.
Now 15 inches long and weighing 12 pounds, it has blinded him in one eye and made eating a daily ordeal. As it begins to block his airways, doctors fear his life could be in danger.
But now one of Britain’s leading facial surgeons has proposed treating Jose, 51, by employing ultrasound waves to coagulate the blood before the operation.
This should allow his growths to be removed without risk of heavy bleeding – satisfying his religious prohibition on blood transfusions that has so far hampered his search for treatment.
Jose was examined by two doctors in Britain - Loshan Kangesu, consultant plastic surgeo
The Supreme Administrative Court refused a demand by Suvarnabhumi airport residents to ground all flights at night to give them a respite from the noise. The court sympathised but said it has no authority to suspend the night flights, as such a decision would pose major problems to global airlines and will cause economic damage. The decision followed the demand by 359 residents who wanted domestic and international flights at Suvarnabhumi airport grounded from 10pm to 5am so they can get a proper night's sleep.
During Wednesday’s GOP debate, a questioner asked the candidates why they refuse to call waterboarding torture.
