(BENSALEM, Pa. 12/10/06)A former Iraqi Air Force General who once was part of Saddam Hussein's inner circle gave an inspirational account of his conversion to Christianity before an mezmerized congregation of worshipers yesterday at the Christian Life Center church in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Iraqi Gen.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq and Syria, which severed diplomatic relations 24 years ago, restored them on Tuesday in a move that could stem some of Iraq's unrelenting violence. "The latest talks between the Syrian and Iraqi side have been crowned by declaring a new era with the participation of the Syrian brothers in working on the security and stability with Iraq and restoring full diplomatic relations," said government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem arrived in Iraq on Sunday in the first such visit by a senior Syrian official since the 2003 fall of Saddam Hussein's regime....

(Everywhere, USA) There are three groups dancing in the streets around the world tonight as a result of the Democratic victories in the US House and Senate. The anti-American Muslims, the illegal immigrants planning to sneak into the US, and, of course the American Democrats. The amazing thing about the election here in Bucks County, Pa. is that the Democrats, some 24 hours after the election results, continue to rip down and sledge hammer the Republican campaign signs. Just as they did throughout the past two months. The immaturity of some never ceases to amaze.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 — For millions of Americans, Election Day is already over. Thirty states now allow no-excuse absentee voting, and most of them also allow voters to cast early ballots in person at county clerks’ offices or satellite polling places.

Unbelievable. Chris Wallace, the host of Fox News Sunday, today urged ABC to not show the upcoming TV docudrama Path to 9/11 because it contains inaccuracies and made up dialog. Wallace, who made his comments on the Fox and Friends morning show, said he doesn't think any dialog that wasn't the exact thing said by Madeline Albright or Sandy Berger should be included. Wallace went on to criticize a different past TV docudrama he said included inaccurate scenes about his father Mike Wallace, claiming they were hurtful to his family. He also noted that the Reagan family was extremely upset...

Will the last Democrat with an idea please stand up? It doesn’t even have to be a good one. Just pick an idea: A chicken in every pot. An intern under every desk. Whatever. But please, Democrats, do something soon to indicate some minimal brain activity before a Florida judge shows up and pulls your feeding tube. Yes, it’s that bad. In fact, it’s worse. Democrats, you’re starting to make George W. Bush look smart. There he was on TV the other night, answering questions about a plan to save Social Security, conjugating most of his own verbs, and zinging...

Check out Drudge's new forum, linked to his website. It seems mostly infested by libs. Also, the forum is very confusing to use. Besides, I hate sites with all those smiley faces.

(Vanity, USA) A newly released commercial by the Kerry/Edwards campaign has unwittingly revealed the anti-war Senator's long-time strategy in the war on terror. In the commercial, as seen on Fox News (Thurs. Oct. 21, 2004), Kerry criticizes President Bush for casualties caused by the war in Iraq, and then offers this gem of a statement. "If president, I will stop at nothing to keep terrorists from attacking this country," Kerry is quoted as saying in the commercial. Kerry apparently does not realize that he just told millions of voters that he will do "nothing" in the war on terror, and...

Desperate men often resort to clichéd lines when trying to snare women. Senator John Kerry must be desperate, because he dragged out the tired, misleading statistic about the so-called wage gap during last night's ....
