Kristinn Taylor, co-leader of the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, is hoping that the city eventually addresses the de-facto hotel/lobbying operation run by the group Code Pink from a residentially zoned five-bedroom row house at 712 Fifth St. NE.Mr. Taylor's puzzlement is understandable, for the Code Pink provocateurs advertise the apparent zoning violations on their Web site, www.codepink4peace.org."The bedrooms vary in size and can house two to four activists in each," the far-left group writes in the D.C. section of the site.The Code Pinkies say the brownstone can handle as many as 20 activists at a time, which is an apparent...

In 2003, the Dixie Chicks, (pictured left to right) Emily Robison, Martie Maguire and Natalie Maines, were the most popular female group in country music history, with a number one single, millions in sales, multiple Grammy awards, legions of fans and sold-out concerts across the world. Then, during a concert in London on March 10, 2003, just days before the U.S. military would invade Iraq, Natalie felt she had to say something about what was happening in the world. To those English fans—whose own government joined America's Iraqi invasion—she said, "We do not want this war, this violence. And we're...

Imagine having grandmotherhood on trial in your courtroom. This is the awkward situation in which Judge Neil Ross finds himself in Manhattan Criminal Court.**But the defense is trying to portray the trial as a referendum on grandmotherhood itself, and they are milking that all-American concept to the hilt, almost as deftly as the defense in "Miracle on 34th Street," the 1947 feel-good chestnut, milked the American belief in Santa Claus.

Second Street in downtown Vincennes remains blocked to traffic today as an investigation into a fire that destroyed the Bergman Building continues. A cause has not been determined in the fire and officials still aren’t saying where it may have originated.

Scott Dillman from the fire marshal’s office said Tuesday that it was too early to determine the cause or origin of the fire that destroyed the entire building and slightly damaged an adjacent home. "The amount of damage is going...

Here is a BLOG from a TN National Guard soldier in Iraq about Cindy Sheehan's activities. From Razors BLOG That woman in Texas outside the Bush Ranch for instance. She aggravates me, even though I can't even remember her name. The President is trying to relax a little bit from what must be one of the highest pressured jobs in the world, and she has to go and bring a circus of media to squat on his freaking front yard. Give the man a break Lady! The President didn't kill your son, your son did something called VOLUNTEERING! He signed...

PARENTS of soldiers killed in Iraq plan to follow President George W. Bush around the country in the coming months, hoping to generate nationwide anti-war sentiment after camping out at his Texas ranch.

The Muslim Students of America (MSA), an Islamic pro-Saddam group active last year in organizing dozens of Iraq war protests throughout the United States, has declared January 17, 2004 as a day of mass protests at French diplomatic establishments in the US against the ban on wearing headscarfs imposed by the government of Northwest Arabia (formerly France or Lalalala France). Read the press release from these radicals below to understand the poetic justice being meted out to Le-Surrenderese (the French) by the same people with whom they so foolishly sided last year against America.

WASHINGTON: The Indian Army ex-serviceman who went on a shooting rampage in Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University on Friday killing a student and wounding two others was a lonely bachelor involved in myriad social and political causes who lost it after a prankster hacked his beloved website. The computer and the worldwide Web was Biswanath Halder’s life. He worked eight hours a day at the University’s business school computer lab to promote personal, social and political causes ranging from ambitious business plans to opposing the US war on Iraq. He listed and forwarded hundreds of petitions. Halder earned a management...

During the noon news update (just before the Rush Limbaugh show) today, WMAL reported (and I paraphrase): DC Mayor Anthony Williams is complaining today that the city is quickly going through the funding it received for first-responders as part of the Homeland Defense appropriations "because of all the demands placed on DC police due to the recent Anti-War protests." The Mayor indicated he would be going back to the Administration to seek more funds.
