JP writes: I understand, and agree, with what you are saying about the Republican party in your WND column for Monday, May 3, 2004. And in a finite microcosm this would prove absolute.

Fifteen months after he enrolled at Central, on a Saturday morning in November 1998, the eighth-grader strung up a rope and hung himself at his parents’ home. When paramedics arrived, he […]

I’m all for hot pants in women’s soccer. It is ironic that Herr Blatter will probably be far more infamous for this statement, which is actually quite reasonable from a marketing point of view, than for the fact that he is one of the most outrageously corrupt officials ever to grace the sporting world.

Robert Novak reports: The Bush administration is bracing for the first hostile book written by a former official in January when Paul O’Neill publishes an account of his two years as secretary of the treasury. Pittsburgh industrialist O’Neill left Washington angrily after being fired Dec. 6, 2002, and began work on a book. The White […]

I only wonder what the Federal excuse for an invasion would be. I expect that all of those who still believe that the Civil War was primarily about slavery – all the […]
