Letters to the Editor September 17, 2004 A painful decision To the Editor: Much to the distress of many of my fellow Republicans, I must make the following observation - George W. Bush does not deserve reelection. Being that I am the Republican candidate for the 5th congressional district this statement carries an extremely high political price for me. Iraq clearly was not the threat the White House made it out to be. He knew the evidence for Saddam's nuclear weapons program was extremely tenuous at best. Bush went to Iraq because he wanted to, not because he had to....

If anyone missed the Friday, April 2, 2004 Rush Limbaugh Show hosted by Dr. Walter Williams, it's a must hear. I've e-mailed Rush and asked he archive the entire three hours on the free side of his website. Dr. Williams had his best program yet. Dr. Thomas Sowell was on in the second hour. So much simple common sense it was amazing. The entire show was informative and skewered the IDIOTS on the left and right whining about "outsourcing" and other economic BS paraded as fact. The third hour had another noted economists on (a Dr. Russel Roberts) and they...

A Unipolar World Americans have an healthy aversion to foreign policy. It stems from a sense of thrift: Who needs it? We’re protected by two great oceans, we have this continent practically to ourselves and we share it with just two neighbors, both friendly, one so friendly that its people seem intent upon moving in with us. It took three giants of the twentieth century to drag us into its great battles: Wilson into World War I, Roosevelt into World War II, Truman into the Cold War. And then it ended with one of the great anti-climaxes in history. Without...

An internal audit now under court seal warned top executives at Wal-Mart Stores three years ago that employee records at 128 stores pointed to extensive violations of child-labor laws and state regulations requiring time for breaks and meals. The audit of one week's time-clock records for roughly 25,000 employees found 1,371 instances in which minors apparently worked too late at night, worked during school hours or worked too many hours in a day. It also found 60,767 apparent instances of workers not taking breaks, and 15,705 apparent instances of employees working through meal times. Officials at Wal-Mart, the world's largest...

<p>WASHINGTON — The House and Senate decisively approved similar bills Friday giving President Bush roughly the $87 billion he wants for Iraq and Afghanistan, blessing most of his policies but challenging his plans for Iraqi reconstruction.</p>
<p>The lopsided votes — 303-125 by the House, 87-12 in the Senate — underlined the bipartisan, wartime support that exists for the lion's share of the legislation: nearly $66 billion to finance U.S. military operations over the next year in Iraq and Afghanistan.</p>

VIENNA, Austria -- In the first face-to-face talks between Serbs and Kosovo Albanians since their 1999 war, rival leaders clashed Tuesday over the future of the ethnically tense Balkan province. The symbolic U.N.-sponsored talks were supposed to avoid the contentious issue of Kosovo's future status: whether it will gain independence, as demanded by the ethnic Albanians, or remain a part of Serbia, as called for by the Belgrade leadership.

Right now, FoxNews is replaying the O'Reilly Factor from Wed, Oct. 1st. At the end of the show, my e-mail to his show is used about the "CIA Leak" issue. He disses me a bit. But once I looked at it closer, they took some real editing liberty with my original e-mail. I'm going to record it so I can pay more attention and will report back with my e-mail and their version. At least Wlady has the decency to e-mail me when he uses one of my Reader Mails over at the American Prowler and especially if he edits...

The F word and Drew LaMar. The incident took place back in May, but the thunder heightens, and on September 1 it occupied the attention of Bill O'Reilly and his million listeners. Did the administration of the Lawrence Central High School in Indianapolis go too far in punishing Drew LaMar?
