While some long-time critics of President Ronald Reagan stifled their inclination to criticize the dead, others launched the kind of venomous attacks that marked his long career in politics. Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy said yesterday he regretted Reagan died without ever standing trial for 1986 air strikes he ordered that killed the Libyan president's adopted daughter and 36 other people. Ronald Reagan ordered the April 15, 1986, air raid in response to a discotheque bombing in Berlin allegedly ordered by Khadafy that killed two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman and injured 229 people. "I express my deep regret because...

LEE COUNTY, March 17, 2004— Army specialists say a device found in a Fort Myers salvage yard Tuesday afternoon was likely an old Navy missile. Officials with Patrick Air Force Base say workers were attempting to cut the rocket apart with a blow torch when it ignited and began racing around the scrap yard – with its high-explosive payload intact. The incident happened at Garden Street Metal and Tool on Metro Parkway in Fort Myers. "I turned around, I saw this thing shooting flames out the back," said Rob Weber. Weber had no idea what he was dealing with. "I...

NEW YORK - Comedian Al Franken is baiting conservatives again, and this time he's bringing along a bunch of friends to back him up.

Hillary's Afghan photo op: a medialess turkeyBush Stuns Nation With Surprise Visit to Baghdad...Liberals Respond To Bush's Trip With CriticismBy Jon Christian Ryterwww.jonchristianryter.com Once again George W. Bush's political detractors have been upstaged by the man that none of them thought was smart enough to occupy the White House. This time, Bush outfoxed the fox who has been secretly sniffing around outside the chicken coop at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. As the liberal media proudly announced that Sen. Hillary Clinton [D-NY] would be dining with American troops in a relatively secure area in Afghanistan (filing video tape footage for her...

  Why Did the Bush Administration Really Decide to Invade Iraq? 12 July 2003 Three months after US military forces smashed the last major Iraqi resistance to the US invasion and captured Baghdad and in view of the fact that no weapons of mass destruction have yet been found, Americans are starting to wonder what really motivated the Bush Administration to take the nation into a war against a country like Iraq. This is particularly the case since it has become increasingly clear in retrospect that Iraq did not pose anything resembling the imminent threat to the United States that...

SECRET DEMOCRAT MEMO DISCOVERED The memo is apparently from a group called the Democrat Operative Response Committee (DORK). The memo resulted from Bush’s landing on the USS Abraham Lincoln. That “what a stud” moment has caused some real soul-searching about the current Democrat candidates for president. Democrat Operative Response Committee (DORK) NOTE: SECRET DOCUMENT MEMO RE: We must counter-act Bush manliness image Dear Fellow Democrat: Many of our members have had angst about the President’s showy landing on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln. Mainstream Americans (such as the Dixie Chicks, Martin Sheen, and Janeane Garofalo) overwhelmingly agree with us that this...

Well, I found I had enough time to make it down for a counter rally. There wasn't many of us there, but they didn't mess with us anyway. I didn't have time for my signs, so I just went and grabbed my "No Jackasses" pin and put it on my coat and left. I drove down and saw the Burger King on Michigan Street. I didn't see anyone there except the pieceniks. I know the busses were out for these people. There was a church in Grand Rapids(Congregational) that was there. Many came north from Kalamazoo which is more left...
