Gettysburg Reenactment organizer Dustin Heisey wants everyone to know he isn't interested in the politics surrounding Glenn Beck's visit to Gettysburg. He also wants everyone to understand, he isn't giving up on organizing the reenactment either, despite canceling it this year in light of the Beck event. “I think the biggest thing is that we're not quitting or anything like that,” said Heisey. Heisey realizes the decision to cancel the Gettysburg Reenactment for 2020 is garnering criticism, especially after he promised to keep the event going last year when the Gettysburg Anniversary Committee announced it would no longer organize it....

"Because we're leading around the world, people have a new attitude toward America. There’s more confidence in our leadership. We see it everywhere we go," President Obama said at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Reno. "Four years ago, I stood before you at a time of great challenge for our nation. We were engaged in two wars. Al Qaeda was entrenched in their safe havens in Pakistan. Many of our alliances were frayed. Our standing in the world had suffered. We were in the worst recession of our lifetimes. Around the world, some questioned whether the United States...

KIEV, Ukraine — The former write-in candidate for Arizona governor traveled to Ukraine looking for love. He ended up hungry and sick in a homeless shelter — the victim of an Internet dating scam.

He says he met a woman named Yulia online and, hoping to marry her, went to her...

Anyone know the status of Glenn Beck? Subs have been filling in for him on his radio show all week, and the Judge has been hosting his TV show on Fox. Other than the rumors that were floating around claiming he was being terminated at Fox, I haven't heard anything related to his current status.

I was in 3C on Flight 735 and saw everything that happend....and it was A LOT scarier to all of us in first than the news is reporting. Situation started after meal was served and "Chronicles of Narnia had been on for about an hour (never will watch that movie without thinking about this flight).

CHICAGO — I've been feeling a little low about my relationship with George W. Bush lately. I'm worried about the situation in Iraq. Dubya's trademark, endearing smirk — the one that enrages Democrats — just doesn't lift my spirits like it used to. And during the State of the Union, I definitely felt like we were drifting apart. To be fair, Karl Rove has no need to panic. Realistically, who else am I going to vote for? John "Millionaires are out to get you, America...except for this millionaire!" Edwards? Please. Regardless, I've been a little depressed. So last week, for...
