1914 North of Boston Mending Wall by Robert Frost SOMETHING there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone, But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean, No one has seen them made or heard them made, But at spring mending-time we find them...

VANCOUVER, British Columbia. — Canada, squeaky clean? You jest. The nonstop revelations in Canada these recent weeks of federal corruption are hilariously reminiscent of the good old days of Tammany Hall where mysterious little tin boxes produced bundles of unaccountable cash. Except it's not quite so hilarious since Canadian Liberal governments, from their Trudeauvian celestial perch, enjoy preaching morality to us Americans. Revelations at hearings before an independent government commissioner of corruption in the ruling Liberal Party have been so startling it led a Canadian columnist in the National Post to write words believed never before published in anti-American Canada....

Voting machines said to yield identical numbers CARACAS, Venezuela - A leading member of Venezula's opposition charged yesterday that touch-screen voting machines at at least 500 polling sites produced the same number of votes in favor of ousting President Hugo Chavez. Such a result, said opposition lawmaker Nelson Rampersad, was statistically impossible and indicated that machines used in Sunday's referendum were rigged to limit the number of votes calling for Mr. Chavez's ousting. Mr. Rampersad made his comments after a meeting of opposition leaders with former President Jimmy Carter and Oganization of American States Secretary-General Cesar Gaviria. There was no...

August 8, 2004 Bushworld: Enter at Your Own Risk by Maureen Dowd ? ?from the publisher's websiteFrom Washington to Kennebunkport to Texas to old Europe and new Europe, during the past two decades Maureen Dowd has trained her binoculars on the Bush dynasty, putting them, as both 41 and 43 have complained to her, "on the couch." Here she wittily dissects the Oedipal loop-de-loop between father and son and the Orwellian logic of the rush to war in Iraq. It's a turbulent odyssey charting how a Shakespearean cast of regents, courtiers, and neo-con Cabalists-all with their own subterranean agendas-hijack...

Democratic adviser backed atheist in suit The Democratic National Committee's new adviser for religious outreach was one of 32 signatories on a U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief backing an atheist who sought to remove the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.     In February, the Rev.

Anybody see the Today Show this morning?

House sustains 'sanctuary' laws By Brian DeBose The House yesterday voted down an amendment to a Justice Department spending bill that would have forced local police officers to report illegal immigrants to federal authorities. Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, introduced the amendment to keep state and local governments from giving "sanctuary" to illegal aliens. Sanctuary laws typically created by cities and towns force local police officers not to cooperate with federal law enforcement to find and detain illegal aliens for deportation. "These so-called sanctuary policies wreak havoc on communities, especially in situations where illegal immigrants commit crimes and should be...
