HILL OF TARA, Ireland–It is a battle worthy of the old Irish legends, pitting history against modernity. But as a controversial highway creeps ever closer to the spiritual home of the early Celtic kings, it now appears both sides may lose. For advocates of the twin ribbons of asphalt called the M3 now under construction north of the Irish capital, there is no choice but to live pragmatically with the roar of a commuter corridor in the shadow of the sacred Hill of Tara, because getting to nearby Dublin is a nightmare without it. For opponents, the new toll highway...

ESPN.com columnist Jemele Hill was suspended yesterday after sparking outrage by comparing rooting for the Boston Celtics [team stats] to Adolf Hitler and nuclear war. “Jemele has been relieved of her writing and on-air responsibilities for a period of time to reflect on the impact of her words,” ESPN spokesman Paul Melvin said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. Yesterday, Hill amplified on her earlier apology for writing, “Rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim. It’s like hoping Gorbachev would get to the blinking red button before Reagan.”

Solons Suspect Coverup In North Korea Scandal BY BENNY AVNI - Staff Reporter of the Sun January 25, 2008 UNITED NATIONS — Republican lawmakers yesterday expressed suspicions that as part of the Bush administration's attempts at diplomacy with North Korea, the State Department may have tried to cover up some Senate findings about the misuse of U.N. development funds by the communist regime of Kim Jong Il. A Senate investigation, which detailed the North Korean government's manipulations of the U.N. Development Program and the use of its facilities as a backdoor channel for moving funds around the globe, also led...

Clock ticking for Kim's Korea 24 January 2008 Kim Jong-Il's regime could collapse within six months, bringing chaos to North Korea, observers and intelligence sources in Asia have told Jane's. A joint United States report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the US Institute for Peace has also revealed that China has "contingency plans" in the event of North Korea's implosion. The report, entitled 'Keeping an Eye on an Unruly Neighbor', said that China was prepared to "take the initiative" and had a military strategy for securing North Korea's "loose nukes" should Kim Jong-Il's rule fail.

The purpose of this post is to begin providing links, tools, and tactics which we can all use to educate the public, fellow citizens, and neighbors about Hillary Clinton.It is a work in progress- I have provided a starting point, but want others to chime in with more links, stories, and information.It is the product of conversations with a number of other members, from which several salient tactical points emerged:1- keep it as contemporary as possible- the old Whitewater and similar items are stale and dead to the public.2- keep it civil, please- within the board guidelines, or better. We...

Give Japan Its Due Carl Delfeld, Chartwell Advisor 11.20.07, 6:20 PM ET As part of a deal with North Korea in the six-party nuclear disarmament talks, President Bush has decided to take North Korea off the U.S. list of state sponsors of terror.This decision was made over the strong protests of Japan, primarily because of North Korea’s stonewalling on providing Japan with any information on a score of its citizens kidnapped by North Korea during the 1970s and 1980s. Some of the abductees were schoolchildren on their way home from school. Sure sounds like terror to me. Meanwhile, North Korea...

By Elan Journo web posted October 29, 2007 Thanks to a new diplomatic deal, the nuclear stand-off with North Korea will allegedly end bloodlessly. In exchange for 950,000 tons of fuel oil, or its equivalent in economic aid and diplomatic concessions from the West, North Korea has promised to disclose all of its nuclear programs and disable all of its nuclear facilities. This new arrangement is being celebrated as a levelheaded, practical, win-win solution to the problem of the North Korean nuclear threat. But this deal, like all previous ones, rewards the North for its aggression and will strengthen...

ON Oct. 11, 1991, I testified about my experience as an employee of Clarence Thomas’s at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. I stand by my testimony. Justice Thomas has every right to present himself as he wishes in his new memoir, “My Grandfather’s Son.” He may even be entitled to feel abused by the confirmation process that led to his appointment to the Supreme Court. But I will not stand by silently and allow him, in his anger, to reinvent me. In the portion of his book that addresses my role in the Senate hearings into his nomination, Justice Thomas...

(CBS) BOSTON New England Patriots defensive end Marquise Hill is missing in Louisiana after a jet skiing accident. His agent, Albert Elias, told CBS and a woman were on a jet ski in Lake Pontchartrain during the day Sunday when they hit a wave and fell off. Elias said Hill, 24, saved the woman's life by helping her float to a nearby pylon, but Hill drifted in another direction. Elias said Hill can swim, but the woman could not, so he tried helping her, before the water pulled him away. "As he's drifting away from her he was giving her...

Work begins to uncover secrets of Silbury Hill By Richard Savill Last Updated: 2:26am BST 12/05/2007 Work began yesterday to save an ancient landmark in Wiltshire from collapsing. Silbury Hill, which at 130 feet high is the largest prehistoric man-made construction in Europe, continues to mystify archaeologists. English Heritage is to spend £600,000 this summer trying to preserve the mound. Specialist engineers will enter the mound through a tunnel which was dug in 1968 by a team led by the archaeologist, Prof Richard Atkinson. That tunnel was the last of three made over two centuries by archaeologists. The original purpose...

<p>May 5, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - The White House yesterday unloaded a blast at Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for playing "presidential politics" with her plan to repeal the same authorization for the Iraq war that she voted for in 2002. White House spokesman Tony Fratto set the tone early yesterday, telling reporters that Clinton's Senate measure was "reckless" and "a political stunt." "It's not reflective of conditions on the ground; it's not reflective of the contributions of our troops. You can't, for example, ask al Qaeda in Iraq, are they going to end their operations on the same date. I guess that would be nice, but that's not the way it works," Fratto said. Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino kept up the broadside during the afternoon White House press briefing. "What you saw was a little bit of presidential politics. And we might see more of it, but the president has a principled stand that he's not going to change," Perino said. Clinton spokesman Blake Zeff fired back: "Hillary Clinton wants to end the war. George Bush wants to escalate it." The former first lady yesterday introduced her measure to end Congress' approval for the war in Iraq as of Oct. 11. Clinton has been hammered by liberal voters for her 2002 vote authorizing the war.</p>

A little bit of this, little bit of that. A tribute to our veterans with a picture that will amaze. Plus some TV tidbits. It's great, it's zany, it's offbeat, it's funny, it's true life. I speak of my new TV fascination…."Desperate Housewives" Plus what's with Faith Hill at the 2006 CMA Awards? Finally, the new series, "Brothers and Sisters". There's are very distasteful liberal flaws in this series and they could cause it to fail.

Sodrel-Hill IN9 Rubber Match Too Close To Call: In an election today, 10/9/06, in Indiana's 9th Congressional District, Democrat challenger Baron Hill and Republican incumbent Mike Sodrel are neck-and-neck, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WHAS-TV Louisville. 29 days to the 11/7/06 election, it's Hill 48%, Sodrel 46%. Hill was elected to represent Indiana's 9th District in 1998, 2000, and 2002.

WASHINGTON -- Say this much for Bill Clinton. He doesn't walk quietly. Wherever the former president goes, he can still command a large public megaphone. And, as with all things Clinton, that can be both good and bad, depending upon the view. His white-hot, finger-wagging interview on "Fox News Sunday"--filled with accusations about conservative bias and Bush administration blunders--has thrust Clinton into the midterm election campaign just as the Republicans appeared to be erasing some healthy Democratic advantages. For some Democrats, that's just what they would like to see: debate on a big stage between Clinton and his successor, President...

Once again, scientists report they have found evidence of ivory-billed woodpeckers, this time in Florida. But having observed the turbulent disputes among ornithologists and birders that followed the report last year that the bird had been found in Arkansas, these researchers are proceeding with caution. Geoffrey Hill, of Auburn University in Alabama, and Daniel Mennill of the University of Windsor, in Ontario, both biologists and ornithologists, say 14 sightings and extensive sound recordings “provide evidence that ivory-billed woodpeckers may live along the Choctawhatchee River in the Florida Panhandle.” The report appears online in a Canadian journal, Avian Conservation and Ecology...
