    A woman found a live, unexploded mortar shell in her sister’s closet in Mims on Monday night, police told Local 6 News partner Florida Today. Angela Cassell took the live weapon from the home owned by her father and drove it to the north precinct of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office. According to the police report, Cassell was helping clean her sister’s closet when she found the weapon. "It was a hair-raising experience," Cassell said. "I thought it was a fake one. I didn’t realize that it was live or I would have never done anything with it." Cassell said...

    link to new Lieberman ad Lamont: Weicker's Bear Cub Combatting the Weicker endorsement of Lamont with a newly launched web ad that uses that historical political perspective. The ad says in part, "He's never gotten over losing his senate race to Joe Lieberman. But instead of coming out of hibernation, he's sent his bear cub instead. Ned Lamont. RUN!" Andrew Sullivan: Worst ad ever? Josh Marshall: This has to be the most ridiculous ad I've ever seen. It's not even that it's mean. It's just too silly and stupid to believe.

    Considerably more restrained than DU, but almost as inane, Christine Todd Whitman's mypartytoo.com web site is an entertaining diversion for those who want analyze the RINO mindset. Many of threads are empty, most of them are sparse, the only uniting theme seems to be a contemptuous attitude towards practicing Christians taking over "their" party. Here is an excerpt from a thread entitled the Ford Presidency.

    ALBANY, N.Y. -- Donald Trump is considering running for governor, a leading Republican said Friday. Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno on Thursday suggested that a big-name candidate could be flirting with entering the 2006 contest. On Friday, he confirmed to News Channel 10 in Albany that he had been referring to Trump. Bruno told the station he had spoken to the real estate developer and TV personality about a possible run. Trump's office in New York had no immediate comment. State GOP Executive Director Ryan Moses said neither he nor state party Chairman Stephen Minarik have had discussions with Trump...

    Woman, 76, fends off teen, would-be robber By LORI PILGER / Lincoln Journal Star An Omaha teenager picked the wrong 76-year-old woman to mess with Sunday afternoon. It’s as simple as that. Pearl Fritts planned to visit her 95-year-old mother at Lancaster Manor on South Street after church. She stopped behind the nursing home to take care of her recyclables when she heard a quiet, little voice behind her ask if she wanted help. Pearl politely said no thank you, and that’s when police say the teenager struck her. “She just slammed my head against that bin,” Pearl said. “I...

    Individuals and groups are actively working to have the U.S. lose in Iraq, while others would see an American defeat as helpful to their political interests or careers, according to retired U.S. combat pilot and former Air Force aide to U.S. president Bill Clinton, Lt. Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson, during an exclusive interview with International News Analysis Today.com The lives of American soldiers are placed in greater peril, and the war in Iraq is prolonged unnecessarily, due to the distorted media reporting and partisan attacks by certain U.S. politicians, stated Patterson, author of Dereliction of Duty (2003) and Reckless Disregard...

    Thanks you for your question. Personally, I think abortion is a terrible thing. Like many families my wife and I disagree on this issue and that’s OK. I support bans on partial birth abortion or late term abortions. I am in favor of parental notification. I feel adoption is an alternative that should be promoted more aggressively. I believe that the Supreme Court speaks to the issue of Roe vs. Wade and I support the rule of law. I don’t know where you stand on this issue, but I believe this election is going to be about issues that unite...

    LOS ANGELES (AP) - In a stinging rebuke from voters who elected him two years ago, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's efforts to reshape state government were rejected during a special election that darkened his prospects for a second term. Voters also decisively rejected an initiative that would have required parents to be notified when minors seek abortions. All four of the Republican governor's signature ballot proposals were rejected in Tuesday's election, which pitted him against two of California's powerhouse political forces - public employee unions and Democrats who control the Legislature. The unions spent millions of dollars to beat Schwarzenegger's propositions...

    Click here to access Flash video The organization that produced this are big-time socialists. The quality of the Flash animation is lame, but there is something funny about the too-dweeby to even be metro "U.N. Man" saving a baby in a mine field by picking him up by the head and throwing him 100 yards away. This is unintentionally funny in ways the creators do not realize. Not as slick as Planned Parenthood's "Choice Chick", but much more entertaining.

    A research team is proposing a new technique that would allow meat to be grown in a laboratory for mass consumption, according to a report. Researchers in the U.S. say the technology now exists now to produce processed meats such as burgers and sausages, starting with cells taken from cows, chickens, pigs, fish or other animals. Growing meat without the animal would not only reduce the need for the animals -- which often are kept in less than ideal conditions -- but may also address a number of environmental ills blamed on meat production. Cultured meat could also be tailored...

    A large black ball, originally designed by Swedish scientists for use on Mars, could be the latest weapon in the war against burglars. Telegraph Financial Services & Reader Guides The device, developed at the University of Uppsala, acts as a high-tech security guard capable of detecting an intruder thanks to either radar or infra-red sensors. Once alerted, it can summon help, sound an alarm or pursue the intruders, taking pictures. It is capable of travelling at 20mph, somewhat faster than a human being. Even worse for intruders, the robot ball can still give chase over mud, snow and water. The...
