Filmmaker Moore has the right to question conflict in Iraq Web Posted: 06/28/2004 12:00 AM CDT San Antonio Express-News Whom are you voting for, Michael Moore or George W. Bush? It was predicted that the media storm over last week's release of former President Bill Clinton's memoir would drown out the campaign of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry. But not even the human lightning rod that is Clinton has generated as much electricity as filmmaker Moore. Nor will the contents of Clinton's book, "My Life," be as fiercely debated as Moore's movie, "Fahrenheit 9-11," which opened this weekend...

GOP irate over busing of temps to hearing By Mariano Castillo San Antonio Express-News AUSTIN — When 41 temporary workers, many of them students, boarded a bus from Corpus Christi to McAllen to attend a redistricting hearing there Tuesday, they expected to make easy money as seat warmers. Instead, their participation has outraged Republicans and raised questions about the intentions of an unnamed businessman who paid $5,000 to send them there. The Texas GOP on Thursday asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate whether disruptions at redistricting hearings in Brownsville and McAllen were planned by Democrats. "It is clear...

Roddy Stinson Roddy Stinson: 'Teaching about Islam in the K-12 Classroom' bugs principal Web Posted : 03/16/2002 12:00 AM A South Texas middle school principal couldn't believe her eyes when she received an invitation to attend a session of a March 21-22 conference at the University of Texas at Austin. The fact that the university was holding a conference wasn't surprising, but the title of the session to which she had been invited was a shocker: "Strategies for Teaching about Islam in the K-12 Classroom." In a day when Christmas manger scenes are verboten in classrooms and Christian prayers are...

Brian D. Sweany Sports Centered David Robinson wants more out of life than winning basketball games. Anyone who has a problem with that is full of snippy. TOWARD THE END OF A TWO-AND-A-HALF-HOUR PRACTICE, David Robinson was loose and animated. The 36-year-old center for the San Antonio Spurs stutter-stepped toward the free throw line, took a pass from a coach, and fired off a fifteen-foot jump shot. He grimaced as the ball bounced high off the front of the rim, then repeated the drill and let another shot fly. The ball, however, continued its independent streak, this time hitting ...

Metro and State Hundreds call for end of war, racism By Daryl Bell San Antonio Express-News Web Posted : 11/12/2001 12:00 AM Rueben Rodriguez thought he'd spend a quiet Sunday afternoon at Milam Park reading a book and watching his beloved Dallas Cowboys play the Atlanta Falcons on his portable television. But the former Marine soon found himself closing his paperback and turning down the sound in favor of something else — watching a good, old-fashioned peace rally at Plaza del Zacate. "I love my Cowboys but it's kind of hard to watch them with all of this going ...

Demos seek own voting sites By Sherry Sylvester San Antonio Express-News Bexar County Democrats say they are so disillusioned by the debacle in Florida during last year's presidential race that they are unwilling to vote in the same room with Republicans in next year's primary elections. Bexar County Democratic Chairman Gabe Quintanilla said Friday that party leaders "are not comfortable having Republican judges telling Democrats whether or not they are qualified to vote in our primary." Quintanilla said county precinct leaders decided earlier this week to withdraw from the county's joint primary system. He admitted the move was "largely emotional" ...

Robinson lauded as role model By Johnny Ludden Express-News Staff Writer For the past 12 years, David Robinson has tried to walk the sometimes-blurry line between professional athlete and role model. Robinson doesn't fight. He doesn't pose after dunks. Rarely has he used stronger language than "dang it." In the past, Robinson's do-right approach led some critics to call him soft. On Monday, it earned him the NBA's Sportsmanship Award. "My reputation for being a nice guy always hasn't been a good thing," Robinson said. "Now I think people appreciate it a little bit more. That's fantastic. You can ...

Express-News: Melissa Fletcher Stoeltje Revenge, done civilly, can be extra sweet So we repeatedly get a bill from a bank in Houston saying we owe $1.27 on an overdraft credit line, and would we please pay up. This from the bank that made an error during our move last summer that caused us to bounce checks all over the place. The bank even admitted it was at fault. My husband is getting his revenge, though. He paid the balance — one penny short. The bank proceeded to bill us for the one penny — and paid postage to do ...

Express-News: Commentary/Insight Today's 'Doonesbury' fails the truth test San Antonio Express-News "Doonesbury" does not appear today. Cartoonist Gary Trudeau stepped way over the lines of truth and fairness in his reference to Gov. George W. Bush when his crazy character Duke spews the unfounded allegation, "He's got a history of alcohol abuse and cocaine." The cartoon has been a major topic on the computer listserv (an e-mail chat room) for editorial editors and writers since we received today's strip. No one has argued that this is a fair shot. Many have deplored its timing — less than a week ...

Bush campaign edges closer to the finish line today with what could be a $500,000 political stunt or a three-day barnstorm that helps generate enough momentum to carry him to victory Nov. 7. Twenty-nine of the nation's 30 other Republican governors are gathering with Bush in Austin today to launch what they are calling a "Barnstorm for Reform" tour through 25 states that represent 319 electoral votes. "The Republican governors are the base of ...

What is the truth about Texas? Has the state, as Vice President Al Gore claims, gone to the dogs?Or has Texas, as Gov. George W. Bush's campaign suggest, been transformed into Camelot during his reign the last six years?Of course , neither portrayal is accurate. But Texans are getting mighty tired of Gore's broadsides on the state.Admittedly, the state has much to improve, especially in the area of social services. It's record of providing for children who live in poverty, and their families, is pathetic, especially when compared to other states. But that can hardly be blamed on Bushh. This ...
