Father, have you been to the mall lately and watched an unsupervised group of teenage girls get hit on by the ubiquitous male oxygen thieves? Pretty disturbing, eh? What’s even more mind numbing is the number of beautiful young ladies who actually give these scat based boys the time of day. Unreal. Ticks you off now, doesn’t it? If you have a pre-teen niña, then more than likely after watching those mall chicks capitulate to the weird male critter’s advances, you probably just swore to God that your daughter will never grow up to be one of “those girls” who...

He got rid of civil service protections for tens of thousands of state workers. He pushed through billions of dollars in tax cuts. His goal of prolonging the life of Terri Schiavo is proving much harder. "It is frustrating for people to think that I have power that I don't, and not be able to act," Bush told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I don't have embedded special powers. I wish I did in...

A woman is slowly starving to death in a Florida hospice. She is under armed guard to ensure that no one offers her water to drink or food to eat. This is all happening under court order. Not a congressional act or the personal intervention of the president of the United States has been able to help her. Is America broken? How could this happen in this country, as the whole nation, the whole world, watches? Oh, the lawyers have their excuses. The high priests in black robes claim to have sympathy but say their hands are tied. This is...

Democrat Attacks Helping Bush Edward I. Koch Tuesday May 13, 2003 The leaders of the Democratic Party are making a big mistake. Their personal attacks against President George W. Bush are actually helping Bush and hurting the Democrats. Bush’s opponents don’t seem to realize that the President’s manner and appearance are in the tradition of three American icons and make him impervious to Democratic slings and arrows. President Reagan, John Wayne and Gary Cooper also had a quick and charming smile, an attractive way of answering a question directly and sincerely, and an “aw shucks” self-depreciating demeanor. Like President Bush,...

Many of their names will not be found on honor rolls. They're not among the star athletes who have gleaming trophies in the school's display cases. And few of their pictures will ever hang outside the main office in the Student of the Month showcase. But those were the very kids who North Carroll High School pulled out of class yesterday - 507 of them - for a surprise assembly to recognize them just for being good kids. They're the ones who have missed no more than four days of school in the first seven months of the year. They...
