A 56-page picture book illustrated by Caldecott-winning artist David Small, My Senator and Me: A Dog's-Eye View of Washington, D.C. is not only a charming pet story, but also engages children in understanding how government works. The book will be published in May 2006. The dog in Kennedy's forthcoming book is named Splash. 85 years ago, Scholastic was founded to help kids understand the world in which they live and to be aware of their rights and responsibilities in a...

So Ted Kennedy is writing a children’s book. With his dog, named, of all things, Splash. Well, okaaaay. According to the press release from the publisher, Ted’s tome will run only 56 pages, but this is a guy who Monday called Judge Alito “Alioto,” and who last year referred to the junior senator from Illinois as “Osama Obama.” And if you don’t believe me, just ask the Congressman, “Andy Meehan,” as Teddy once introduced him. Let’s just hope Splash is in charge of the fact-checking for the book. But there’s another problem with this May release from Scholastic Books, and...

Freep this petition by Ted Kennedy. Look at the nonsense some of these democrats believe. No wonder their party is suffering so badly.

The most stimulating time of year may be over for humans, but for moose it's just getting started. September and October are mating season, which can mean bulls locking horns and occasionally chasing cows through urban neighborhoods.That's about the time Fish and Game gets calls from people worried about a bull lying on its side in their yard, panting. "He's been chasing stuff around for the last three weeks, and he just can't do it anymore.....

Israel downed 2 Syrian MiGs last September over sea SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Friday, February 11, 2005 Diplomatic sources said Israel Air Force F-16 multi-role fighters intercepted and downed two Syrian MiG-29 fighter-jets last year. The sources said the dogfight took place in September 2004 over the eastern Mediterranean Sea. This was the first engagement between Israeli and Syrian fighter-jets since the 1980s. The sources said the air battle took place when Israel Air Force fighter-jets buzzed the Syrian city of Latakia, a port used by Iran for the shipment of weapons to Hizbullah. The Washington-based Reform Party of Syria...

Chris Giorni knows his plops. As a herpetologist, his ear is trained to distinguish the distinctive belly-flops of rare frogs landing in remote ditches, creeks and coves. But oh what a splash one of his latest discoveries has caused. Lying in wait, khakis waist deep in water, camera at the ready, Giorni says he encountered a California red-legged frog on a piece of Half Moon Bay property slated for one of the biggest developments the coast has seen in two decades. Giorni's photos of the threatened frog have put the brakes on the controversial Wavecrest Village. They've also raised suspicion...

They are simply hysterical defending Kennedy's statements! Try calling for a good laugh.

Iraq war will cost Bush his presidency America went to war in a dishonest way that alienated key allies, divided and weakened the U.N., outraged the world community, m A year ago, the United States went to war in Iraq because President George W. Bush and his administration convinced Congress and the country that Saddam Hussein was an urgent threat that required immediate military action. The nation has paid a high price for that decision ever since. The case for war was based on two key claims: that Saddam was on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons, and that he...

Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy has said President George Bush suffers from a widening credibility gap, nowhere moreso than on the issue of Iraq. In delivering the Democrats' weekly radio address, Kennedy said on Saturday the Republican president had failed to level with the American people on several fronts - including the economy, health care, taxes, education and Iraq. "For the past three years, since President Bush took office, we have seen a widening credibility gap between what the administration says and what it does," the senator said. Kennedy is working closely with his party's presumptive presidential nominee, fellow Massachusetts senator...

WASHINGTON — It was early 1995, Republicans had just taken control of Congress, and demoralized Democrats gathered to discuss opposition strategy. Liberals wanted to push for an increase in the minimum wage, but other Democrats had doubts — including John F. Kerry, the junior senator from Massachusetts. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts’ senior senator and an icon of liberalism, blew a gasket. “If you’re not for raising the minimum wage, you don’t deserve to call yourself a Democrat,” Kennedy told Kerry. But nine years later, when Kerry was in dire political straits, Kennedy was there for him, touting his credentials to...

The headline read: "Massive tsunami sweeps Atlantic Coast in asteroid impact...." It was at that point that I wished that I had taken a speed-reading course, because the rest of the headline read: "...scenario for March 16, 2880." I'm really thankful for all those folks who spend countless hours each week with their eyeballs glued to the small end of a telescope as they search the skies, keeping constant vigil for anything heading toward Earth that's larger than a frozen turkey. The men and women of NASA and the Jet Propulsion Lab, college professors and their student assistants and even...

One man drowned and another was missing after the crew of a Philippine-registered ship threw three Algerian stowaways into the Mediterranean Sea, newspapers reported here on Wednesday. A third stowaway was able to swim ashore at Bouharon, some 40 kilometres west of Algiers, after he and his colleagues were thrown overboard one week ago by the crew of the Marina. The three Algerians, aged between 23 and 30, had sneaked onto the boat while it was docked at Oran, 430 kilometres west of Algiers. When they were discovered by the crew, they were taken to see the ship's captain, who...
