After weeks in which the political discourse was nearly dominated by the scrutinizing of Sen. John F. Kerry's conduct in the Vietnam War era, President Bush now may find himself under the microscope and on the defensive for actions in his past. Kerry supporters are actively questioning Bush's spotty record as a stateside National Guardsmen during the Vietnam War. A former senior politician in Texas is telling people he pulled strings to get Bush into the guard. And an Associated Press investigation has concluded that key documents that should have been written to explain gaps in Bush's guard service are...

The notorious MoveOn.org has begun to fund raise by offering left wing celebrity items on eBay. So MoveOnPlease.org has done one better by offering an actual right-minded "celebrity" on ebay...sort of. Read Kato's letter as he volunteers to sleepover the highest bidder's house to raise money to pay for MoveOnPlease.org's trip to next week's convention where they will be reporting from the floor...or perhaps, as close to the floor as they will let anyone associated with National Lampoon. http://moveonplease.org/KatoOnEbay.asp

Bush has a fork in him. Look at the polls. You see them. What makes you think it's gonna get any better for the appointed one? Only the dedicated neo-cons support this clown. Your boy is toast. I hope you guys won't do anything rash after he loses horribly on November 2. President Kerry will make this country much better. Just keep that in mind and you'll be fine. Better yet, jump on the Kerry bandwagon and support a return to peace and prosperity. Come on guys, I'm on your side.

<p>A medical examiner's report on the death of diet guru Dr. Robert Atkins suggests that he had a history of heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension.</p> <p>The document, a report of external examination from the chief medical examiner's office in New York, also says that at his death Dr. Atkins weighed 258 pounds. Dr. Atkins died in April last year at age 72 of a head injury from a fall on ice while walking to work. The report attributes the death to a "blunt impact injury of head." The report was sent to The Wall Street Journal by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group that advocates a vegetarian diet and has long been critical of the Atkins approach.</p>

John Mellencamp describes his 21st album as "a small record," something he did more as a labor of love than as what he calls "chest-thumping arena-rock." But "Trouble No More," released Tuesday, is one of the strongest efforts in the career of rock fans' favorite Hoosier--a soulful collection of blues and folk standards that attempt to make sense of turbulent times, from his reworking of the anti-war anthem "To Washington," to his reading of "The End of the World," popularized by Skeeter Davis, which takes on new meaning 40 years after it first hit the pop charts ("Why does the...

To the Editor: Spectator, now for the second time in less than a year, has succeeded to quote me in a remarkably decontextualized and inflammatory manner. In Margaret Hunt Gram's report on the faculty teach-in against the war in Iraq (March 27, 2003), I am quoted as wishing for a million Mogadishus but with no indication whatsoever of the perspective that framed that remark. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that your Staff Editorial in the same issue, denouncing the teach-in for "dogmatism," situates me in particular as the premier example of an academic "launching tirades against anything and everything American."...

Hey, all! Just caught the beginning of Sean Hannity's Show - here's a Freeper alert. Yesterday, he had Sheila Jackson Lee (D-MARS) on, and someone called later in the show, telling Sean about the Mars Flag debacle. You know, when Ms. Lee asked in 1997 if the Mars Rover could take a picture of the flag planted by the Apollo Astronauts. He hadn't heard about that, so I gathered up some sources,and sent them to Sweet Baby James, his producer. It's gonna be on sometime today - he sounds like he's grinning about this one... :-)

He's one of Hollywood's hottest actors and, with Natural Born Killers among his starring roles, is no stranger to controversy. But now Woody Harrelson has taken another brave step - he's passionately defended George Michael over his anti-Bush and Blair single Shoot The Dog. The 41-year-old star - currently appearing in On An Average Day opposite Kyle MacLachlan at the Comedy Theatre in London - has hit out at the backlash against the song's lyrics which criticise George Bush, Tony Blair and the war on terror since September 11. At his play's after-show party on Wednesday night, Woody told Jessica:...
