An open letter to Senator John F. Kerry My wife had rotator cuff surgery earlier this year, and the recovery is terribly painful. Then, she developed a staph-epi infection, and they had to cut the same scar open and operate on her again. Just thinking about the pain and anxiety of facing that painful surgery a second time in the same wound, makes me cringe. That experience, however pales in comparison to what I am going through right now, in my heart. The old hurts are surfacing and the feelings of betrayal by fellow citizens, and their leader stirring them...

John Forbes Kerry The Most Peculiar Man in the Senate (excerpts) John Forbes Kerry, the new chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has accused America's soldiers of rape, torture, and genocide: he has worked openly with Communist dictators, and, he sought $200 billion in defense cuts. Boston Herald columnist Don Feder reported that before the 1984 election, John Kerry had been a stalwart apologist for the North Vietnamese and advocated policies guaranteed to assure a Communist victory. He slandered his country and all Americans who fought in Vietnam. While charging that U.S. soldiers were war criminals, he had nothing...

Say What? Thomas Levet on the Beatles, winning tournaments and remaining focused Editor's note: A two-time winner on the European Tour, Thomas Levet is playing the PGA TOUR this year for the second time in his career. Most American fans probably remember him for reaching the four-man playoff at the British Open last year. He advanced out of the four-hole playoff and into sudden death with Ernie Els, who won on the first hole. The affable Frenchman sat down recently with PGA TOUR media official Joel Schuchmann for another edition of Say What? PGATOUR.COM: Who was the biggest influence in...

Nash not backpedaling from anti-war stance DALLAS -- Steve Nash, the Mavericks' All-Star guard and perhaps the NBA's most outspoken anti-war lobbyist, said Thursday that he has no plans to modify his stance. Nash reiterated his position after drawing criticism from a Texas statesman not known for critiquing his peers: Spurs center David Robinson. "From the start, I spoke out just because I don't want to see the loss of life," Nash said. "People are mistaking anti-war as being unpatriotic. This has nothing to do with the fact that I'm from Canada. This is a much bigger issue. But now...

Klamath Co. DA to seek death penalty in nun killing KLAMATH FALLS - The nun murdered on a bicycle path here early Sunday was strangled with her own rosary and the beads were imbedded in her neck, an autopsy revealed. The autopsy, done in Medford on Monday by Dr. James Olson, also confirmed police reports that she had been sexually assaulted. Klamath County district Attorney Ed Caleb says he will seek the death penalty for Maximiliano Cilerio Esparza, charged with aggravated murder and rape in the fatal attack on Sister Helen Chaska, 53, of Bellevue, Wash., and the assault on...

NW Cable News August 5, 2002 Fire threat drops in southern Oregon 08/05/2002 CAVE JUNCTION, Ore. - Cooler, humid weather both helped and hampered fire crews Sunday as they worked round the clock to get an upper hand on the Florence fire. Low winds, temperatures in the 70s and high humidity meant the fire was not active and had not grown significantly. But the wet weather was also preventing crews from starting burnouts, or planned fires used to starve the main blaze of its fuel. "Even though this is slowing the fire, it's still hurting what we do," said Tom...

Woods has company in Open battle FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- Two birdie putts by two of his biggest rivals rocked the U.S. Open with deafening cheers that Tiger Woods couldn't ignore. First came Phil Mickelson with a slick 20-footer on the 17th. Tiger Woods pumps his fist after his birdie putt on the 15th green helped him hold of several challenges. Then it was Sergio Garcia, pouring one in on the 16th and pointing up the hill to Mickelson, as if they were tag-team partners trying to stop Woods from another runaway. Woods got the message, and answered right back. ''I...

Washington Post Profiles Lesbian Couple Seeking To Manufacture A Deaf Child "This reduces the father to a mere inseminator, raises the prospects of donor shopping and designer genes, and turns a baby into a trophy," says FRC's Ken Connor. WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In a cover story for their Sunday magazine the Washington Post featured an 11-page profile of a lesbian couple that has done all they can to ensure their newborn son will be deaf. Sharon Duchesneau and her partner Candace McCullough, both of whom are deaf, specifically sought out a sperm donor with a history of deafness in his...

Airport Screener TestTo ensure we never offend anyone - particularly fanatics intent on killing us - airport screeners will not be allowed to profile people. They will continue random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail and 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips. Pause a moment and take the following test. In 1979, the U.S. embassy in Iran was taken over by: (a) Norwegians from Ballard; (b) Elvis; (c) A tour bus full of 80-year-old women; or (d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages ...

Bunker just finished reading the most important section of the local daily rag - the comics. Surely our favorite cartoonists don't have to participate in sanitizing the season with the rest of the PC media? Below is Bunker's highly scientific, research/time intensive study of how our cartoonists decided to promte PCism, or stand up for themselves and their beliefs. Some of the results will dissapoint. Can they say Merry Christmas just one day? Garfield (Jim Davis) - "Merry Christmas" Beetle Baily (Mort Walker) - "Happy Holidays" Blondie - "Many Happy returns of the Day" -?? Sally Forth - "Happy Holidays" ...

OPERATION: ENDURING FREEDOM Islamic website: U.S. forces wiped out 200 soldiers killed or injured by massive explosion? Hundreds of American Marines and Army troops have been killed in recent days while battling Taliban soldiers and al-Qaida fighters in Afghanistan – or so says one anti-Western Islamic website. According to a Dec. 19 "news story" published at Azzam.com, "reports have come in that a huge explosion of an ammunition dump took place at Kandahar Airport on the morning of ... Sunday 16 December 2001," which resulted in the death or injury of "200 U.S. soldiers." The report claimed that U.S. ...

WHEN IS ABC GOING TO PURGE THEMSELVES OF THIS WORTHLESS CLYMER. I DON'T WANT TO WATCH MNF WITH A GRANOLA CHEWING, COFFEE SHOP, CONDESCENDING LIBERAL Listened to Parcells and Boomer on the radio coming home & loved it - I felt like making Edith get me a beer when I got in the door. Turned on the TV & was quickly disgusted.Hopefully the poor matchups this year will continue aiding the decline in ratings & ultimately Millers dismissal.

Tires slashed on 26 SUVs up and down Beacon Hill by Jules Crittenden Someone slashed the tires on more than two dozen SUVs all over Beacon Hill early yesterday, raising the specter of possible eco-vandalism in the Hub. An Irving Street resident called police around 7 a.m. after finding his SUV tires slashed. ``The officer that responded saw several more vehicles with slashed tires,'' said Boston police spokesman Thomas Sexton. As more calls came in during the morning, he said, the toll mounted to 26 vehicles on streets all over the hill, including Cambridge, Phillips, South Russell and Myrtle streets. ...

Duval earns first major at Lytham LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England -- The stoic expression David Duval hides behind sunglasses hardly ever changed until the last putt fell Sunday at the British Open. Only then did he peel off his wraparound shades and blink in the bright sunlight over Royal Lytham & St. Annes, finally able to call himself a major champion. David Duval birdied all three of the par-5s on Sunday. He never looked at a leaderboard Sunday. He didn't have to. Duval always believed he had the mettle to withstand the pressure of golf's sternest test, and the silver ...

What Johnny Learns at School There was a time, let's call them the good old days, when parents could send their little children off to school with full confidence they would be in good hands. Sadly, the good old days are gone. It is appropriate that most of the criticism of government schools deals with academic failure. But that is only half the wretched story. Contrary to what many parents think, most of those responsible for the education of our children are not socially and politically neutral. They are ideologues with an agenda. While a good case could be made ...

An almost unheard-of thing happened June 29: A news special on the environment got higher ratings than "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." That John Stossel's report on "Tampering With Nature" bested the popular quiz show is due less to a sudden outbreak of taste on the part of the viewing public than to the fact that eco-nazis tend also to be morons. The Environmental Working Group inadvertently hyped the Stossel show by very noisily demanding that ABC remove from it a couple of minutes of footage of Stossel asking elementary school pupils in California what they were being ...
