Large pieces of skin were missing from both back legs, and a bone in one hind leg was broken.

Just now O'Reilly was talking with one of Fox's business analyst women and the last words out of his mouth sounded like "I don't know what the f**k I'm talking about." Did anyone else hear that?

IN ORDER THAT the daunting task of eradicating terrorism from the earth might at last begin in earnest, most Americans justifiably support our nation’s impending military response to the horrors of September 11. I have watched, with tearful awe, my fellow countrymen eagerly rush to help the stricken in every conceivable way.

House Minority Leader Richard A. Gephardt suggested over the weekend that he will push to raise taxes if the Democrats win control of the House next year and the budget deficits return.

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of box): "Do not turn upside ...

Gays’ Allies Besiege Boy Scouts NewsMax.com Saturday, June 30, 2001 Despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that the Boy Scouts of America is entitled to ban homosexual leaders, sympathetic groups are waging war against the Scouts. Organizations including American Civil Liberties Union, National Education Association, American Medical Association and many United Way chapters are using their influence in an attempt to force the BSA to abandon a policy meant to protect its young members from homosexual predators. A year ago in a 5-4 opinion in BSA vs. James Dale, the Supreme Court recognized the Boy Scouts' constitutional right to freedom ...
