WASHINGTON, Aug. 20, 2006 – Army Spec. Crystal Davis proved her steely grit the night the up-armored wrecker she was driving in Iraq hit an improvised explosive devise. Trapped in the destroyed vehicle with her right foot nearly severed, she told her cohorts she’d hoist herself out rather than risk having them come in. “I think about it every day,” Davis told country music singer-songwriter Rockie Lynne Aug. 18, at a dinner for wounded servicemembers and their families. “Every moment that goes by a part will flash back. I tell it differently every time because I remember different things as...

As I'm foolish, I can't for the life of me figure out how to post this elsewhere. I do think that no content on F.R.(other than that which is extremely obscene) should be censored. The most feckless among the numerous Conservatives here should be able to easily refute the most intellectualy argued Liberal pap. And by allowing Liberal views it only trains us to strengthen our position.I have almost reached my F.R. 5th anniversary and to date the fact that all information is not allowed troubles me.Expose the stupidity at it's base is my philosophy. God Bless Texas(LOL) and I'm...

Before the real news, there's a little interesting background news we should take care of. This comes from the "Be careful who you blame department," because everything is not always exactly as it looks. We've been hoodwinked. Yeah, you, me, all of us. It appears to me that there is a major scam afoot. It's kind of funny, in a sick sort of way; but it is a flimflam nonetheless. First, we know that Dan Rather and his cohorts at CBS have a major bias. Among other things, they "fixed" a certain "60 Minutes" program many years ago to pump...

WASHINGTON — A white powder found in a package opened at John Kerry's presidential campaign headquarters Thursday was harmless and could have been garlic powder, authorities said of an apparent hoax that forced police to seal off the building. "It appears to be some kind of garlic powder, commonly used for seasoning foods," said Alan Etter, a spokesman for the Washington, D.C., Fire Department. The package, containing two letter-sized envelopes, was turned over to the FBI for further investigation.

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is obliquely serving notice on Syria that it could be the next country liberated in the war on terror. George Bush's critics at home and abroad are horrified at the possibility that this conflict might take such a turn. If they wish to avoid such a step, however, they should learn a signal lesson from the now-nearly-accomplished liberation of Iraq: War is more likely to be made unnecessary if would-be critics support the President, than by their opposing him. After all, it now seems clear that Saddam Hussein made the latest -- and probably last...

June 14, 2002, 3:08PM Democrats fired up despite poll showing GOP leads Associated Press AUSTIN -- Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tony Sanchez was set to take the stage today at the party's state convention, against the backdrop of new polls that show Republicans ahead in every statewide race. Conventioneers meeting in El Paso showed little worry about the Texas Poll results released Friday, saying they believed Sanchez and other statewide candidates would pick up steam after the three-day gathering. Many believed the poll showing Republican Gov. Rick Perry leading Sanchez by 20 percentage points was inaccurate. "I don't care what that...
