Syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak was cited by police after he hit a pedestrian with his black Corvette in downtown Washington, D.C., on Wednesday morning.

%u201CI didn%u2019t know I hit him. %u2026 I feel terrible,%u201D a shaken Novak told reporters from Politico and WJLA as he was returning to his car. %u201CHe%u2019s not dead, that%u2019s the main thing.%u201D Novak said he was a block away from 18th and K streets Northwest, where the accident occurred, when a bicyclist stopped him and said he had hit someone. He said he was cited for failing to yield the right of way.

You didn%u2019t know you hit him? Well I guess you must have just grazed the guy, right?

Bono said that the pedestrian, who was crossing the street on a %u201CWalk%u201D signal and was in the crosswalk, rolled off the windshield and that Novak then made a right into the service lane of K Street. %u201CThis car is speeding away. What%u2019s going through my mind is, you just can%u2019t hit a pedestrian and drive away,%u201D Bono said.

I%u2019m sorry, but I think most normal people would notice a 66 year old man rolling across their windshield. I%u2019m just saying%u2026

"I always believed in abstinence until you get married. But what did that get me? It got me AIDS!" she said.


I understand this person may have been reacting in anger, but waiting until you are married to become sexually active does not give you AIDS.



"The mischaracterization of the epidemic ... a white gay man''s disease made many black folks think they didn''t have to pay attention to the disease," Wilson said.

Proof that reality is not what you think it is, not what you wish it were, and will not be forgiving if you ignore it.

Make certain you understand what Obama is before voting for him.

What a pig. Having AIDS and not bothering to tell his wife?!! Is there anything less depraved than that?

Indeed, with media coverage and knowledge as to how it spreads, I cannot blame Obama or McCain for discussing Africa instead.

Drugs are bad; please get off of them and don''t share needles!

*** is NOT bad; but put self-respect and respect for your married lover into the equation. *** and love and not two disparate entities, no matter how hard you try to rationalize it. Especially with a certain part of the population, when otherwise not damning it, starts clamoring FOR marriage...

And regardless of reason for having gotten it, that''s the core problem: Lack of respect for one''s self and their immediate others.

Unless it''s via blood transfusion, but those cases are virtually nil.
