<p>For years, the law firm Heller Ehrman LLP used a goofy coat of arms inside its offices: a laurel wreath, the scales of justice and a Latin quotation, elvem ipsum etiam vivere. Rough translation: Elvis Lives.</p> <p>In late September, Heller Ehrman went the way of Elvis. Just two years after its most profitable year ever, the freewheeling San Francisco firm expired, closing its doors after 118 years in business.</p>

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- Vicente Fox was forced to forego the last state-of-the-nation address of his presidency Friday after leftist lawmakers stormed the stage of Congress to protest disputed July 2 elections. It was the first time in modern Mexican history a president hasn't given the annual address to Congress. Instead, Fox handed in a written copy of his report, and his office said he would address the nation in a televised speech later Friday. A text of the speech Fox had planned to deliver to Congress called on Mexico to mend deep divisions that he said threatened the...

GUEST OPINION SWATTING FLIES John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy, Harry Reid, John Murtha, Wesley Clark, Howard Dean, and those of your ilk, where were you when God created the world? Senator Hiram Johnson in a 1917 speech before the US Senate said, “The first casualty when war comes is truth.” I’m not speaking of George W. Bush or Dick Cheney, I refer to each of you and either your total sacrifice of integrity for the sake of political expedience, or maybe each of you has simply lost your mind, or just maybe you misplaced your testes. “Pull out of Iraq immediately,”...

If GOP is one party under Jesus, what's this Jew supposed to do? By Dave Lieber Star-Telegram Staff Writer Aside from not supporting Gov. Rick Perry's election bid, I can hardly remember the last time I did not vote for a Texas Republican. I'm a fan of President George W. Bush, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, U.S. Rep. Kay Granger, state Rep. Vicki Truitt and others. But I have a dilemma with the Texas Republican Party, something that I can't reconcile. On this precious Fourth of July, I will share it with you. The Texas Republican Party met in San Antonio...

SECRET SERVICE OPTIONS SECRET SERVICE OPINIONS Forwarded by a former FBI agent (Regardless of their opinions of the 'individual(s'), these guys/gals would 'take a bullet' for their protectees and their 'opinions' are more credible than most.) SECRET SERVICE OPINIONS: WHAT WAS, COULD HAVE BEEN, AND WHAT IS What WAS: Hillary Clinton was arrogant and orally abusive to her security detail. She forbade her daughter, Chelsea, from exchanging pleasantries with them. Sometimes Chelsea, miffed at her mothers obvious conceit and mean spiritedness ignored her demands and exchanged pleasantries regardless, but never in her mother presence. Chelsea really was a nice, kindhearted,...

Rules of War Enable Terror By Alan M. Dershowitz May 28, 2004 THE GENEVA Conventions are so outdated and are written so broadly that they have become a sword used by terrorists to kill civilians, rather than a shield to protect civilians from terrorists. These international laws have become part of the problem, rather than part of the solution. Following World War II, in which millions of civilians were killed by armed forces, the international community strengthened the laws designed to distinguish between legitimate military targets and off-limit noncombatants. The line in those days was clear: The military wore uniforms,...

Unreal. I can't believe it!!!! They all will be testifying before the FULL Commission!!

I have a Logitec Optical mouse w/USB and PS/2 capability and my computer has 2 each ports. In the last few weeks, my optical mouse keeps going dead, more and more frequently. If I unplug and replug it might work but lately it's getting more and more difficult for the light to come back on. I've tried using the PS/2 port, it helped for a while but now doesn't work at all. The USB port is about dead. I plugged the mouse into an old CPU using PS/2 port and it works fine... no problem. What's my problem and can...

Dear Texas Republican, Legislation that would fairly redraw current congressional districts is being considered in the House Redistricting Committee. The committee will be holding hearings on Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3 regarding the problems with the current map, and what action needs to be taken in drawing fairer congressional lines. Details on the committee meetings follow this message. The current districts, which were put in place in 2001 by a federal court and not the legislature, do not accurately reflect Texas voting trends. For example, in 2002 Republican congressional candidates won 56% of all votes cast - but...
