OMG!!!!!!!!! Was watching the ABC Morning news and caught a segment on Kerry, his "lighter" moments taken by personal camcorders.One shot was of him and Peter Yarrow(of Peter-Paul-Mary) singing "Puff The Magic Dragon". When the words got to puff--Kerry put his fingers to his lips like someone would to describe smoking a joint. But then he quickly stopped and waved off the move. Yes I did see it...that was better then a cup of java.

Kerry just 'threw' out the opening pitch at the Boston-Yankees game. Just saw Kerry pitch a really weak opening pitch, well short of the plate, bouncing under the catcher. What a poser!

Former California gubernatorial candidate Arianna Huffington is blasting the man who beat her last year, saying that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is "a bully" for calling Golden State Democrats "girlie men." "What we've seen in Arnold is an alternation of the seducer and the bully," Huffington told the New York Times. "Seduction worked for a while because he's a very charming man and the people were so relieved to be rid of [recalled Gov.] Gray Davis and have someone entertaining in his place." But Huffington warned, "When the seduction doesn't work anymore, the bully comes out. The expression 'girlie man' is...

Feb. 22, 2004... Kerry continues to say War on Terrorism is Police Action Democrat candidate John Kerry showed again today why America would not be safe under his presidential leadership. Appearing on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Kerry repeated his stance that the War on Terrorism is a police action: Stephanopoulous: But in the South Carolina debate, you did say that the war on terror was primarily an intelligence and law enforcement. Kerry: It is primarily, George. Primarily. Primarily means first. Secondarily means once you know who they are, and where they are, and what they're planning, you can...

Washington DC--Representative Christopher Shays, who was knocking his knees over the prospect of celebrating on New Years Eve 2003 in Times Square, may switch parties on the first full business day of 2004."We're looking at a number of options. Since the President has taken terrorism head on and Congressman Shays is prepared to roll over and let the terrorists win, we think the Republican Party might be a bit too war-mongering," said Shays spokesperson Justin Case, "We don't believe the Democrat Party is appropriate, either, since they at least give lip service to protecting America." Comments from the Congressman himself...

ALBANY — The state’s highest court on Monday ended a case in which a New York Yankees’ clubhouse worker accused the team and some of its players of gay bashing and playing cruel practical jokes. The Court of Appeals declined to hear an appeal sought by Paul Priore, who sued the Yankees in state Supreme Court in the Bronx in 1998 for $50 million. Priore contended that after he began working for the team as an assistant equipment manager in 1996, several players made anti-gay remarks and played cruel pranks on him because of his sexual orientation. He also claimed...

Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, launched a stinging attack on President George Bush last night, denouncing him as the "greatest threat to life on this planet that we've most probably ever seen". His provocatively timed comments, on the eve of Mr Bush's arrival in London tonight, threaten to create severe embarrassment for the Prime Minister. They also come with talks under way on whether to readmit Mr Livingstone to the Labour Party before his five-year exile ends.Although he made his many differences with the Government on a range of issues clear, he reserved his strongest comments in an interview...

Al Franken is standing up for the manhood of the Democratic Party. The task falls to him, it seems, since he is one of the last white men remaining in that collection of hypersensitive racists, outdated labor unions, infanticidal feminists and globalist socialists not named Kennedy. Al Franken is more than a former comedian, he has now devolved into a media parasite worthy of note. His latest best-seller, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them," is in much the same vein as his previous book on Rush Limbaugh, showing him to be a literary mosquito dependent upon sucking blood...

Who's winning the war on terror? Sorry, George By ANTHONY WESTELL It has been two years since U.S. President George W. Bush declared war on terrorism, and it's time to ask who's winning. Here's the score so far. The United States is divided from its friends and allies. It dismissed the UN as irrelevant and now has to ask for its help. It is embroiled in guerrilla wars in two Muslim countries: Afghanistan and Iraq (for which the struggling U.S. economy is asked to produce $87-billion in new funding). All of that must delight Osama bin Laden or his heirs...

<p>Federal government workers who expected to get a snow day yesterday were unpleasantly surprised when several inches of snow failed to produce a paid day off.</p> <p>The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) opted to keep government offices open, angering some of the area's estimated 250,000 federal workers who said the decision created an unnecessary safety risk for commuters traveling slick, snow-covered roads.</p>

Walter Williams (back to story) September 18, 2002 Why America's become sissified "America: A Sissified Nation" was the title of an August 2002 column that brought in hundreds of favorable responses, mostly from American men and women who were not sissies. In that column, I argued that we Americans have become sissified and are meekly giving up essential liberties in the name of fighting terrorism in exchange for trivial amounts of security. Instead of allowing the war on terrorism to provide political cover for taking our liberties, the president ought to give credible notice to countries who harbor, aid and...
