When I say “blood money”, what do I mean? I mean money that comes from ... Read Full Story

But, she backslid dramatically by refusing to say how she is voting on the Maine marriage referendum : A U.S. senator from Maine is taking no position on the likely upcoming referendum on her state's new same-sex marriage law. Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican, told the Blade on Thursday during a brief exchange on Capitol Hill that she's not taking a side on the "people's veto."
