British Parliamentarian Andrew Turner of the Conservative Party was forced to apologize for equating Israel’s attacks on the Lebanese infrastructure and its citizens to the tactics carried out by the Nazis. During a panel of discussions dealing with the Palestinian problem and the recent war in Lebanon, Turner claimed that there was much condemnation of suicide bombers, but very little of Israeli attacks in Gaza against civilians. Turner slammed the British government for not calling for an immediate cease-fire during the summer conflict. He said even Human Rights Watch condemns Israel’s lawless attacks on south Lebanon that were followed by...

(For those wondering who inherited Tony Snow's radio show. Not all of the previous Snow affiliates will carry it, though; All Access (via RadioInsight.com) says WKRC is Cincinnatti will pick up Laura Ingraham instead.) "Brian & The Judge" — Two of FOX News Channel's most recognizable stars, Sr. Legal Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano and Brian Kilmeade, co-host of "FOX & Friends," have teamed up to bring a unique brand of radio to FOX News Talk.

NEW YORK -- A young man who told his family that he was distraught over the result of the presidential election was found dead Saturday, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, inside the gated pit where the World Trade Center once stood, authorities said. He was identified as Andrew Veal, 25, of Athens, Ga. Veal had worked for the University of Georgia's Survey Research Center, where the center's director, James Bason, said: "He was a great worker. And he got along well with everyone. Again, we are all at a loss at to why something like this would happen."

MANAMA, Bahrain (NNS) -- England’s Prince Andrew awarded Capt. John Peterson the Honorary Order of the British Empire (OBE) during an investiture ceremony Jan. 25 at the British Embassy in Manama, Bahrain. Peterson, chief of staff for Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, was given the prestigious award for his leadership of coalition forces, which included a large number of Royal Navy sailors and marines, in the campaign to secure Iraqi oil assets during the onset of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Prince Andrew, who is the Duke of York, knight commander and aide-de-camp to Queen Elizabeth II, congratulated Peterson...

Sunday :: Sep 11, 2005 43 Outdoes 41, Again George W Bush wanted to avenge the disrepect his father received at the hands of the American people. And even more, he wanted to outdo his dad. Dubya was never going to wear the label "wimp" nor was he going to let someone like Saddam thumb his nose at the Bushes. Yet as with the runup to the war with Iraq, the disastrous reaction to the deadly hurricanes tie these two administrations together and people are noticing the eerie similarities. George HW Bush was not taken down by his role...

My girlfriend has asked me to do some research on the "legit" or "bogus" undertakings of Dr. Andrew Weil via his Weil Foundation. The basic story is that she was impressed all of his "after-tax" profits go to his foundation. I remarked that was a nice way to pay yourself a lump sum (gotta pay the SG&A) without looking like a greedy, capitalist pig. After browsing Google for a bit, I'm not finding any substantial detail, just the usual "rah rah rah" stuff. Anyone already know about this character and his foundation? Your information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Boston, MA, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- White House Chief of Staff Andy Card has emerged as a potential candidate for Massachusetts governor in 2006 if Gov. Mitt Romney doesn't seek another term. Card, a former Massachusetts state legislator, "would have instant credibility and the ability to raise a lot of cash quite quickly," a Republican insider with close White House ties said.

NYC: Smokers Who Buy Online Need To Pay Up City Enforcing Cigarette Tax Laws Jan 13, 2005 12:20 pm US/Eastern NEW YORK (CBS) The New York City Finance Department has ordered smokers who bought tax-free cigarettes on the Internet to pay city taxes on their purchases. The demands were made in letters mailed this week. Finance Commissioner Martha Stark says “it's part of a new effort to enforce the cigarette tax laws." The city mailed letters to about 2,300 people whose names were obtained from cigs4cheap.com, which is no longer operating. The letters warned that recipients who failed to pay...

Pressure Cooker A Recipe for Chief of Staff Andrew Card is talking about his kitchen. "I know my kitchen really well, as evidenced by my rotund being," Card says, patting his belly. "I know where the oven is and I know where the microwave is and I know where the sink is and I know where the refrigerator is and the freezer and the cupboards and the table and the chairs." Card, 57, is sprawled on the couch of his West Wing office, describing the kitchen from his mind's eye. It is from here that the White House chief of...

Archive E-mail Comments Send to a Friend Print Version Wednesday, June 16, 2004 WHO KNEW? [Jonah Goldberg ] I read Andrew Sullivan's site fairly regularly, as do lots of people I know. In fact, I get some grief from some readers -- and Cornerites -- for paying as much attention to Sullivan as I do. That doesn't bother me. I respect Andrew, consider him a friend and I respect his influence which is an objective fact regardless of my personal attitudes. As even moderate readers of Sullivan's site can attest, his positions of late have been something of a moving...

Indian gambling is a family affair for the Bustamantes. Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante has collected $2.4 million in campaign money from tribes, and a younger brother, Andrew Bustamante, is the general manager of an Indian casino. Andrew Bustamante has operated the Mono Wind Casino in Auberry for seven months. The casino, near Fresno, is owned by the Big Sandy Rancheria of Mono Indians.

No Respect for the Dead I really wasn't that surprised that many of the national news reports would dwell upon Trent Lott's remarks at Thurmond's retirement party and I was even less surprised that most of the articles written today would include mentions of Thurmond's changing views on race and integration. It is a bit interesting that the NY Times, that running joke of a newspaper in Gotham, chose as its headline: Strom Thurmond, Foe of Integration, Dies at 100. Of all the things they could mention about Thurmond, the headline writer/editor chose to leave it as just Strom Thurmond,...

CRITIC'S NOTEBOOKOld Hickory, Hang on to Your NogginBy SARAH BOXER sn't it a little weird that the United States government's campaign this month announcing the fall introduction of its new, colorful, counterfeit-resistant $20 bill — a bill with faint peach, turquoise and gold tones — is called "The New Color of Money"? Wasn't "The Color of Money" a movie about a pool hustler named Fast Eddie Felson? In the spirit of patriotic gambling, I went to a cash machine and took out a whole lot of money, hoping that at least one bill that popped out would be a pre-1998...

Mitch Daniels, President George W. Bush's outspoken budget director and rumored candidate in 2004 for governor of Indiana, bashed France and other European countries for their "willful self-denial of new technologies" in a speech Thursday night at the 10th anniversary of the Progress and Freedom Foundation, a Washington technology think tank. Speaking of the European Union's rejection of genetically modified grains, he cracked, "We created underarm deodorant, and the French turned that down too." To howls of laughter from the audience at Washingon's Renaissance Mayflower Hotel, Daniels added that an American entrepreneur can dream up a new business, start it...

QUESTION: Does the KJV contain contradictions about who are the 12 apostles?

Pavatt's daughter testifies at hearing 2002-06-13By Diana Baldwin The Oklahoman The daughter of murder defendant James Pavatt testified Wednesday she thought she was helping her father flee to Argentina so he could avoid being tried in the death of his girlfriend's husband.
