I just returned from a library in Pasco County, FLorida. My wife dragged me there to pick up several books for her to read on vacation. While she was searching for here Books I decided to search for Ann Coulter's Book "Treason" to check out for myself. The librarian told me that there were 2 copies of Ann's Book and I could sign up to get on a long waiting list. At that point I asked if they had Hillary's Book. She informed me that there were 35 copies there ready to be checked out. At that point, I have...

Viacom has shelved plans to launch Outlet, a 24-hour cable channel aimed at gays, according to the Gay.com/PlanetOut.com Network, an online news service operated by PlanetOut Partners. It said that it had received a statement from the company saying that "due to the current economic climate, the timetable has slowed down for the development of a new network dedicated to programming to the gay and lesbian audience.

If it's allowed to stand, an FCC ruling will feed media merger mania BY BILL CLINTON "It's your money," says President Bush when he promotes tax cuts. I disagree with his tax policy but admire his spin. The same argument applies with greater force to whether big media conglomerates should be allowed to control more television and radio stations: "It's your airwaves." The American people own the bandwidth that broadcast media companies use to deliver programs to our TV and radio sets. Because the space on that bandwidth is limited, the Federal Communications Commission regulates who has access to our...

I tried to exercise my free speech at the Hillary book signing in White Marsh, Maryland- and learned that liberals and bookstores are not always the defenders of free speech that they claim they are. I was escorted away by police to crowd cheers(pic inside) and joined my fellow freepers on a public median. I live in the White Marsh area, just north of Baltimore and thought I'd express my feelings about Hillarys new book. I made a simple sign "Lying History", parked my car at "The Avenue At White Marsh" and walked up to the block where everyone was...

When your average author has a book party, it goes without saying that invited guests are given a copy of the book gratis. But then, Hillary Clinton isn't your average author. Earlier this week one of Mrs. Clinton's millionaire friends hosted a book party for her best-selling screed "Living History" at his elaborate Maryland mansion. But instead of giving her book away, Mrs. Clinton had cash registers and credit card machines ready to ring up hundreds of new sales. Rep. Peter King, R-NY, who was one of the rare Republicans in attendance, described the scene Thursday night to nationally...
