Fox News' bombastic windbag Bill O'Reilly took exception to a proposition passed on Tuesday by San Francisco voters urging the city's schools and colleges to prevent military recruiters from operating on their campuses. It's worth noting that the proposition San Francisco voters approved only...

Here's an interesting story from the Salt Lake Tribune Just another tie-up in the red tape of Federal beaurocracy? Well, apparently not... Let me restate this - a FEMA PR flack questions the dedication of career firemen who think their skills are being underutilized by having them hand out...

During a taping of CNN's "Inside Politics" before a live audience yesterday, Robert Novak lost his cool during a debate over Katherine Harris' Florida senatorial campaign, cursed at opponent James Carville, and walked off the set. It would appear that Novak's exaggerated response to Carville's...

Monday night's World News Tonight from ABC News had an interesting story on the Christian Exodus movement. These folks are trying to move enough of their believers into South Carolina to take over the state government and run it the way they think the Constitution says it should be run...

Finally all reasonable people can put this subject away with other topics that only the conspiracy theorists will dredge up in the future. Unless, of course, her family thinks of someone to sue :rolleyes: From the Miami Herald...

From the Lexington, NC Dispatch: One of the local women who got excommunicated said on TV that it was like a cult. Another man who got excommunicated said that the rest of the congregation stood up and applauded as the Democrats were told to leave. Apparently Rev. Chandler believes it's...

Will these conservative politicians never stop? How many more of our beloved institutions will they destroy in their efforts to force their morality on the rest of us? ;) When will we realize that state legislators who have time to worry about this kind of stuff have too much time on their...

Read into it what you will. The president's iPod contents contains a few surprises, but it's basically what you might expect for a boomer. "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison is described as a favorite. Some honky-tonk such as George Jones (a fellow recovering alcoholic). "W" likes John...

Apparently juries in Virginia like E-mal spam about as much as I do. This guy got a 9 year jail senternce for samming, although the judge let him out on bail while the appeals wind through the judicial system. The judge felt that there might be constitutional issues with the law so he's not...

This is really a disgusting practice. And yet I couldn't help being reminded of the Simpsons' "A Dozen and One Greyhounds" episode in which Mr. Burns kidnaps a litter of puppies to make himself a greyhound skin tuxedo...

A friend and I have an ongoing discussion of the topic: "What 10 CD's would you save from a sinking ship if you were going to be stranded on a desert island indefinitely?" The rules: 1 - No "greatest hits" collections 2 - Only one album/CD per artist. 3 - Not necessarily "the best"...

I was glad to see President Bush announce he was increasing the US government contribution of aid to the the victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami from an initial $15 million to $35 million. That's nearly up to the estimated cost of his upcoming second term inauguration (a little over $40 million...
