    France’s reluctance to fully endorse the U.S. action plan for Iraq has led to widespread bad-mouthing of our erstwhile comrades-in-arms. With a Florida bar owner pouring his Champagne into the gutter, and restaurants re-nomming America’s premier fast food “Freedom Fries”, dissing France has become a national pastime. What do you make of the French?

    I was just over at the Webby Awards site, making my voting choices. I got to the Activism category... and just about puked. PETA is far in the lead, and oh, are their supporters crowing about it! I strongly suggest that everyone go to the Webby Awards voting page, and register to vote (name and email address required: they send a password to that email address, and you log in with it.) Log in, go to the Activism category. Then in the write-in box, vote. Vote for FR, vote for Second Amendment Sisters. Vote for something, but by all that...

    National Review Online ^ | September 22-23, 2001 | James A. Swan
    We have learned that the hijackers took over the airliners on September 11 in teams of three to five each, armed with knives, box cutters, and pepper spray, and the threat of a bomb on board. Apparently, two more groups of terrorists were planning the same thing on Thursday, but they were stopped before boarding. Terrorism is no longer a problem that's just going to go away. The fight against terrorism will range from diplomacy and military action to the nuts and bolts of what happens on board an airplane that hijackers want to take over. To better understand "the ...

    12/19/00 9:40 a.m. All Tied Up The state of American politics. By S. T. Karnick, editor-in-chief of American Outlook, published by the Hudson Institute If you flip a coin once, it will come up either heads or tails. If you flip it five times, it might come up all heads, all tails, or some combination of the two. If you flip it 50 million times, however, it will almost certainly come up nearly equally heads and tails. That seems to be the best explanation for what happened during the presidential campaign. Voters certainly wanted to retain at least the current ...

    EPA Firing: Gore Gets Even? Environment News Service 9:35 a.m. Dec. 19, 2000 PST WASHINGTON --A federal investigator whose revelations about the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency were damaging to Al Gore's unsuccessful bid for the White House was relieved of his duties last week by a political appointee of the outgoing Clinton administration.

    [Begin Excerpt] Counting to Infinity By Andrew Sullivan Sunday , December 10, 2000 ; Page B01 As we watch Al Gore in this final, explosive endgame, it's getting harder and harder to recognize the man some of us once admired and supported. I remember a different Al Gore from the one now steamrolling through a thicket of lawsuits and courtrooms. From the late 1980s through the '90s, Gore seemed to represent a truly new kind of Democrat. He emphasized the importance of responsibilities along with rights. He was a liberal who believed in judicial restraint and was part of the ...

    [Excerpt from article. AP copyright forbids full reproduction] ALBUQUERQUE (AP) -- Republicans planned to send volunteers to inspect the state's impounded presidential ballots before a Friday deadline for requesting a recount of returns that gave Al Gore victory in New Mexico. Republican National Committeeman Mickey Barnett said he hoped to have 12 teams of volunteers in place by Monday. GOP officials weren't sure how many counties the volunteers could visit this week. "If (the volunteers) find ballots that were not counted, like the situation in Roosevelt County, we want to know it," Barnett said Sunday. [See rest of article at ...
