LOOK OUT!

While everyone was busy either hailing or deriding Arizona Governor Jan Brewer for vetoing one anti-gay bill, another one was quietly making its way toward the state's house. House Bill 2481, which allows judges and clergy to refuse to perform same-sex marriages. The bill was introduced at the end of last month and has already received approval from the House Rules Committee and the House Government Committee. While gay marriage is not legal in Arizona, gay-rights advocates are concerned that the legislation's broad definition of a "minister," which includes judges, could create judicial ethics questions.

Over the next several days, a major snowstorm is expected to sweep across the United States, going from Kansas, crossing the Midwest, and hitting the Northeast early next week. The storm is expected to drop as much as one foot of snow on a region already besieged by crappy weather all winter. In what has become all too routine, airports in major cities like Chicago, D.C., New York, Boston, and Kansas City could face delays or cancellations. "In a narrow swath, all or part of the storm will deliver snow that may be difficult to shovel and plow, due to its accumulation and weight," says AccuWeather's chief meteorologist, Elliot Abrams.
