from the week of March 18 2007
Tonight on Paula Zahn Now, we talk about homeless Iraqi veterans. You've heard about the Walter Reed scandal, now we take it to the next level.
On the eve of the fourth anniversary of the Iraq War, the Administration is still failing our troops. Watch Paula Zahn tonight at 8 when we talk about it.
We also talk about the various controversies surrounding Karl Rove (leaking the identity of a CIA agent, firing 8 U.S. attorneys, and so on).
And finally we discuss the black vote. Will Barack Obama win the black vote? Or will he have to compete for it in the primary? And if he wins the nomination, will Republicans even bother to compete for black votes?
As always with live TV, things can change, so tune in tonight to see for yourself. The Paula Zahn show airs tonight at 8 Eastern time on CNN.

Last night on Paula Zahn Now we talked about Iraq War veterans who have come out against the war. Just in case you missed it, here's a clip from the show. (Thanks to Jeff for making this so quickly.)
The discussion came on the fourth anniversary of the Iraq War. As I pointed out last night, the U.S. has been in Iraq longer than we were in World War I or World War II. And in a few days the war will have gone on longer than the American Civil War.
It's time to get out of Iraq. The soldiers know we can't win, which is why the majority of them want to come home.
Also on the show, we talked about a proposal to create Confederate Heritage month in Georgia. We should have a clip of that discussion later.
At the end of the show, we took emails from viewers and talked about another segment of the show involving "heightism" against short people and more about the war.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for your support.

It's been a long time coming, but My Model Looks Better Than Your Model is back.

Looks like I spoke too soon about the return of American Idol. Much to my surprise, my girl Stephanie Edwards was voted off last night.
Stephanie was one of the four best singer/performers on the show. I had picked Lakisha, Melinda and Blake as the other three.
I still can't believe Phil and Haley didn't get voted off last night. And how the hell did Chris Richardson end up in the bottom when several others were not?
Phil, Haley and Sanjaya are the three weakest links in the show right now, and the credibility of the show will be greatly enhanced if they go before any of the others go.
And to be honest, Sanjaya is the first target. As much as I adore Sanjaya (and I even enjoyed his performance on Tuesday), he's not in the league with the others on the show.
It's time to get serious.

It's been months since Noah's Arc went off the air, and some of you might be yearning to see the lead actor Darryl Stephens.
Well if you miss Darryl and you're looking for your fix, there's a cure. Darryl's new movie, Boy Culture, hits theaters today.
The movie is based on a novel by Matthew Rettenmund, and it reveals the candid confession of "X", a popular male escort who finds himself romantically involved with his two roommates and a elderly client named Gregory.
The movie is in limited release for now. It's showing at the Quad Cinema in New York, the Castro Theatre in San Francisco and the Laemmle Sunset 5 Theater in West Hollywood. In the coming weeks, the movie will be released in other cities, including Chicago, Dallas, Washington, Atlanta and Boston.
