At the end of a ceremony that mixed personal remembrance of Rush Hudson Limbaugh Sr. and allusions to the difficulties of constructing the building named in his honor, family members and dignitaries cut the ribbon at Cape Girardeau's new federal courthouse. The building is a fitting tribute to Limbaugh, said his son, retired U.S. District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Sr. His expressed hope is that his father's devotion to the law will inspire the attorneys who practice there. "He lived it, he breathed it," Limbaugh Sr. said. "He loved it and it was his virtual life." As he spoke of...

Dear Senator McCain, Right now, Im pissed at you. To quote a LOTR character (Tree Beard) There isnt a curse in Human, Ent or Elvish that can describe my anger right now!!!! I feel that the brave GOP members in the House just got their legs cutoff. Maybe theyll stick together and fight (even if the Dems overide them in numbers) or maybe theyll cut a deal in exchange for a few trinkets and bobbles. I can only hope they stand together. Ive sent several letters to my representative (Lee Terry) over this matter. At least he listens. Mr. McCain,...

This commercial was done by a local kid. You have to watch the whole thing. When he finishes talking and walks away, you get a sense of how this could be the commercial of the campaign season. Hi, My son Joe just did a commercial for John McCain. Please pass this on. Thanks Bob Cook http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG4fe9GlWS8

Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul of his 757. And as part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from the tail. What American running for President of the United States would remove the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the flag with it with a symbol of himself. Photo of plane reprinted with written permission of the photographer.

CARDINAL, Ontario -- Mark Murray has seen more than his share of battles. The decorated former soldier spent 10 years in the line of fire in more places than he can remember, but now he's involved in a fight of another kind. After years of proudly flying a Canadian flag from his ground-floor balcony in Cardinal, east of Prescott, Murray's landlords have told him it has to go to coincide with uniform property standards. But this, he promised, is one order he will not follow -- especially at a time of war in Afghanistan. "I never had a problem before...

Sorry for the vanity. Did anyone other than me notice an almost complete lack of Patriotic programming on TV yesterday? Where were the John Wayne movies, etc?

The result Had we relied on the onboard computers, the Prius would have won by a landslide, as by the end of the trip they read 57mpg and 42mpg for the Prius and Jeep respectively. However, to get the real figure, we calculated consumption based on how much fuel each car had used over the 160 miles. The result was astonishing: both cars had used nearly identical amounts of fuel. The Jeep had averaged 38.9 mpg - only 3.1 mpg less than its computer had recorded. However, the computer of the Prius appeared to be telling whoppers: it actually achieved...

Last year he was deployed to Iraq and she, being a patriot and an outstanding teacher, took it upon herself to make sure dad did not miss out on his son's first grade year. All during the school year she scanned all of his school work...

For Barack Obama, campaign 2008 has been a series of absurd but consequential tests. First, there was the faith test: Profess publicly that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. ....... Then there was the patriotism test: Recite the Pledge of Allegiance and wear an American flag lapel pin...... Having passed the God test and the country test, Obama recently has been subjected to the God and country test: Embrace the nation's beloved slogan, "God bless America." When the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's remix of this political favorite began to hit the airwaves, ...Obama... attempt damage control, appeared on cable news.......

Margaret Thatcher: The patriot who vanquished failure Last Updated: 12:02am BST 11/04/2008 After decades of decline, Margaret Thatcher's leadership brought courage and conviction to a nation that had grown used to second best, says Charles Moore On the day in 1982 that the British task force set sail to recover the Falkland Islands from the Argentine invaders, Margaret Thatcher was asked on television: "If you fail, would you feel obliged to resign?" "Failure?" she answered, "Do you remember what Queen Victoria once said? 'Failure - the possibilities do not exist'." The remark goes to the heart of Mrs Thatcher's essential...

While I am sad to report the death of a long-time friend, I can at least be thankful that he died peacefully in his sleep on March 30, 2008. His funeral will be held on April 5, 2008, and his burial in the National Cemetery at Willamette (Portland, Oregon) will be on Tuesday, April 8, 2008. Gordy was a true hero. I think this biographical announcement pretty much tells the story of a courageous young man who, at a very tender age, became a Marine and a hero under circumstances that defied all odds. Bio of Gordon Morgan: Gordon William...

NEW YORK (AP) - The figure in the photograph is clad in Army fatigues, boots and helmet, lying on his back in peaceful repose, folded hands holding a military cap. Except for a thin trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, he could be asleep. But he is not asleep; he is dead. And this is not just another fallen GI; it is Ernie Pyle, the most celebrated war correspondent of World War II. As far as can be determined, the photograph has never been published. Sixty-three years after Pyle was killed by the Japanese, it has...

Charlottesville-based filmmaker Scott Mactavishs new documentary depicts courage and character among American military personnel in a response to what he calls Hollywood portrayals of American troops as rapacious, homicidal sociopaths. God and Country, which is now ready for distribution, corrects the general consensus of the military as guys who have no other recourse in life, according to Mactavish. He said films such as Redacted, The Valley of Elah and Stop Loss portray American troops as blood-thirsty thugs. Its part of Hollywoods [thought pattern] to put out that message and maybe thats because they havent had much contact with the military...

With the New England Patriots now one win away from finishing the regular season undefeated, Sen. John Kerry is stepping up his campaign to get the final game broadcast on national television. The contest Saturday with the New York Giants is to air locally in Boston and New York.

NASHUA Speaking to about 40 BAE Systems workers in what he called a "town hall meeting," Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter again blasted an opponent because his former company is doing business with a Chinese defense contractor. Hunter, a U.S. congressman from California, called on Bain Capital, a company founded by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, another GOP presidential contender, to drop its strategic partnership with Chinese defense contractor Huawei Technologies in a bid to buy U.S. defense contractor 3Com. Hunter will also ask Romney to use his influence with Bain to end the proposed merger between Huawei and...

It may seem odd to call a 24-year veteran of the House of Representatives an outsider. But Rep. Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has made a career out of bucking Washington's insiders. And his latest stand is a tribute to the way representative democracy is supposed to work. You see, Hunter did not rush with the Washington crowd to "reform" the nation's intelligence system. In fact, he is being cast as a villain for blocking a bill that all the insiders were pushing. Hunter correctly saw that the bill would have gutted the ability of our...

Senator Barack Obama, has stated the song at the time he stood at ease was "The Star Spangled Banner". I placed the song, America because of our wonderful FLAG and America and the flag are the same. He refused to place his hand on his heart, when others did. A country without respect for its flag and values is doomed. Mr. Obama also has stated he will not wear a Flag Pin on him because he wants to show what will make America great, not a pin. I say America is GREAT and the BEST NATION in the world.

He sees a congressman coming, like Santa Claus, with a bag. "You should grow a beard," George Tayson, 51, tells Rep.

Editor, We wish to respond to the recent incident involving the desecration of the Mexican national flag that was raised Friday on the south side of Scholes Hall. The incident is still being investigated, but what we do know at this point is that after a ceremony celebrating the Mexican independence day - Dieciseis de Septiembre - the flag that was raised during the celebration was subsequently taken down and, as we understand it, ripped to shreds. We understand that a suspect has been apprehended by the police, but the investigation is still ongoing at this time. We want it...
