During the process of the impeachment of Bill Clinton, Lindsey Graham was the only Republican joining all the Hyde Committee Democrats in voting "nay" on Article Two, perjury in the Jones deposition. He killed it, a double-cross of Henry Hyde without doubt. This article had the best evidence against Clinton of any of the three articles of impeachment. As I remember, the judge in the Jones case had said that Clinton committed perjury. The extreme egotist, Lindsey Graham seems willing to do anything to attract special attention. He is nothing if not a shameless self promoter as the record shows....

In his new book, "Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage," Best-selling celebrity journalist, Christopher Andersen, has blown a huge hole in the Obama genius myth without intending to do so. Relying on inside sources, quite possibly Michelle Obama herself, Andersen describes how Dreams came to be published -- just as I had envisioned it in my articles on the authorship of Dreams.  With the deadline pressing, Michelle recommended that Barack seek advice from "his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers." To flesh out his family history, Obama had taped interviews with various family members. Andersen writes, "These...

America, are you ready for Rush Limbaugh in an electric car? The conservative talk show host has agreed to take Jay Leno's "Green Car Challenge." In the segment airing next Thursday on NBC's "Jay Leno Show," Limbaugh will race an electric Ford Focus around a custom-built track beside Leno's studio, the show's representative confirmed. The "Green Car Challenge" segment makes its debut on the primetime show tomorrow night. Celebrities who participate drive two times around the twisty track, which takes a little less than a minute to complete. By the time Rush gets behind the wheel of the zero-emission vehicle,...

The Pentagon is to give some 600 prisoners held in the US air base in Bagram, Afghanistan, the right to challenge their detention, Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman said Monday. "It's basically a review procedure that ensures people go in front of a panel periodically to give them the opportunity to contest their detention," he told reporters. The inmates would be aided by a uniformed "personal representative" who would "guide them through this administrative process, to help gather witness statements," Whitman added.

Venice, Italy - At one point during a news conference with Michael Moore at the Venice Film Festival, it was alleged that in some countries, distributors of his latest film were charging journalists hefty fees for the privilege of interviewing him. The US director, whose assault on corporate greed Capitalism: A Love Story, has made waves since its first screening at the festival, offered a poignant

CBS' Chip Reid and Helen Thomas double teamed Robert Gibbs today at the daily press briefing on the "tightly controlled" town hall meeting President Obama will hold on health care.

WASHINGTON – A federal judge ruled on Thursday that prisoners in the war on terror can use U.S. civilian courts to challenge their detention at a military air base in Afghanistan. U.S. District Judge John Bates turned down the United States' motion to deny the right to three foreign detainees at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have the right to challenge their detention in court. But the government had argued that it did not apply to those in Afghanistan.

As you read below of all the money that is going to Obama’s Special Interest Groups let me tell you about a Program called the Commonwealth Challenge. Its a program for kids 16-19 years old that have struggled. Struggled in school and with life in general. This program puts them on the right road and teaches them respect and what an education means. Read below and see whats about to happen to this program while Obama and his buddy special Interest groups that got him elected get BILLIONS in tax payer money in the most recent stimulus package passed by...

OTTAWA, Feb. 10, 2009 – Weak governance, particularly in light of upcoming elections, poses the most immediate and pressing challenge in Afghanistan, Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said here today. Mullen offered his assessment after a full day of sessions with Canadian military leaders about the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force mission and other issues of mutual concern. Speaking at a joint news conference with Canada's chief of the defence staff army Gen. Walter Natynczyk, Mullen praised Canada’s “extraordinary efforts” in Afghanistan, and called that continued support over the next couple of years...

Barack Obama has been elected president of the United States by a large majority in the Electoral College. The Democrats have dramatically increased their control of Congress, increasing the number of seats they hold in the House of Representatives and moving close to the point where — with a few Republican defections — they can have veto-proof control of the Senate. Given the age of some Supreme Court justices, Obama might well have the opportunity to appoint at least one and possibly two new justices. He will begin as one of the most powerful presidents in a long while. Truly...

Over the last seven days FReepers have helped raise a good sum of money for the FReepathon.   I know it is greatly appreciated, but we still have quite a ways to go.  I thought I might make it a little more interesting by launching a FReepathon Callenge.  Like a lot of you, I have already made a donation for this FReepathon, but I'm willing to up that donation in the interest of getting this FReepathon over in the quickest amount of time. At this time I would like to announce the DoughtyOne FReepathon Challenge. There are two ways for...

Adnan Oktar, a creationist and rival of Richard Dawkins, has offered trillions of pounds to any scientists who can show proof of evolution.Mr Oktar, 52, who successfully campaigned for Mr Dawkins' official website to be banned in Turkey, has said he will give 10 trillion Turkish lira, roughly equal to £4.4trn "to anyone who produces a single intermediate-form fossil demonstrating evolution."

Al Gore did not claim he invented electricity last Thursday. But the words he uttered in his challenge on energy carried just as much fantasy. According to Gore, the goal of producing every kilowatt of the nation’s electricity from carbon-free renewable sources like solar, wind, and geothermal within 10 years is not a far-fetched vision. In his address at the Daughters of the American Revolution Constitution Hall, Gore challenged America to abandon its fossil fuel usage altogether. "This goal is achievable, affordable and transformative,” the former vice president said. To achieve Gore’s lofty objective, the American way of life will...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush can order the imprisonment of an al Qaeda suspect in the United States but the detainee must be able to challenge his status as an "enemy combatant," a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday. The court, based in Richmond, Virginia, was split 5-4 on both issues in a mixed ruling about a Qatari national, Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, the only foreign national held in the United States as an "enemy combatant." If the government's allegations about Marri are true, then the U.S. Congress gave Bush the power to detain him as part of...

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Republican White House contender John McCain Monday laid down the gauntlet to automakers to extend the great tradition of US ingenuity by developing zero-emission engines. McCain, the rival to Democrat Barack Obama, offered a 300 million dollar federal prize and tax credits to the automakers as he hammered the election theme of alternative energy at a time of sky-high fuel prices. In a speech in Fresno, California, McCain said the US government should get off its fixation with corn-based ethanol as an alternative to gasoline-powered engines. Obama, senator for farm-heavy Illinois, supports ethanol subsidies and high...
