The Observer is a British newspaper, published on Sundays. In about the same place on the political spectrum as its daily sister paper The Guardian, which acquired it in 1993, it takes a left-liberal or social democratic line on most issues. It is the world's oldest Sunday newspaper [2]. The first issue, published on 4 December 1791 by W.S. Bourne, was the world's first Sunday newspaper. Believing that the paper would be a means of wealth, Bourne instead soon found himself facing debts of nearly £1,600. In 1794, Bourne attempted to sell The Observer to anti-government based groups in London. When this failed Bourne's brother (a wealthy businessman) made an offer to the government, which also refused to buy the paper but agreed to subsidise it in return for influence over its editorial content. As a result, the paper soon took a strong line against radicals such as Thomas Paine, Francis Burdett, and Joseph Priestley. In 1807, the brothers decided to relinquish editorial control, naming Lewis Doxat as the new editor. Seven years later, the brothers sold The Observer to William Innell Clement, a newspaper proprietor who already owned a number of publications. Though the paper continued to receive government subsidies, it criticised the authorities' handling of the events surrounding the Peterloo Massacre and defied an 1820 court order against publishing details of the trial of the Cato Street Conspirators who were alleged to have plotted to murder members of the Cabinet. The woodcut pictures published of the stable and hayloft where the conspirators were arrested reflected a new stage of illustrated journalism that the newspaper pioneered during this time.

1. Health-care reform far from finalized
November 05, 2009
If Congressional health-care reform observer R.J. Pirlot had a crystal ball, it would be murky at best. Where are they going to wind up? I don't know," Pirlot, legislative affairs director for Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, told a luncheon audience Wednesday during the Manitowoc County Business Summit at Fox Hills Resort.
Part of Pirlot's challenge in trying to decipher the smoke signals coming out of Washington, D.C., is the nature of the discussions by members of the House and Senate.

2. Denver Motorcycle Helmet Law--So Many Reasons to Wear a Motorcycle Helmet in Colorado
October 21, 2009
Your motorcycle helmet is easily the most important accessory a motorcycle rider can own. They protect our head, skull or brain from serious trauma.

4. Finding Magic in Your Life
October 12, 2009
Magic is the impossible, the unexplainable; its something you simply can’t understand. It describes something that is more of a feeling than a hard actual fact. Its almost dependant on the observer to determine that something is magic, rather than the one performing the trick.
Most magic is about tricks. The magician attached a string to his wand, and since the string is so thin, it looks like the wand is floating. If you know the string is there its just, fact, its science, its reality. But when you don’t know the string is there its magic.

12. Interracial Dating - Prejudice is Alive and Well!

Any observer of the dating scene will know that there is a wide array of people seeking inter-racial or inter-cultural relationships.
