With a Democrat in the White House whose approval ratings have fallen well below 50 percent, liberal websites are entering some new territory--how to handle users who are reliably liberal but are not fans of President Barack Obama. Case in point is Democratic Underground (aka DU), a liberal discussion forum started in 2001 that, up until recently, was united in its hatred for former president George W. Bush. But now that many Democrats have withdrawn their support of Obama, DU responded last week with regulations on how its users may express opinions about the current occupant of the Oval Office...

Romans faced head-to-head battle Head lice were common among Roman soldiers in Cumbria A new exhibition in Cumbria has revealed that Roman foot soldiers faced a battle of a different kind against a microscopic foe.

The dig was part of Carlisle City Council's Gateway City Millennium Project which took place between...

True, these are the sort of things being said by George W. Bush and John Howard. Not surprisingly, many people take the attitude that if Bush and Howard are for it, they are against it. Both have shamelessly exploited security concerns for partisan political purposes. Bush did it in the 2002 congressional elections when he unfairly painted the Democrats as weak on the war against terror. Howard tirelessly tries to back...

Until excavations began here, archaeologists had speculated that in Golan Heights synagogues the Ark was adjacent to the western wall, one of the two shorter sides of the rectangular-shaped...

From just a few, six billion sprang The study suggests that at one point there may have been only 2,000 individuals alive as our species teetered on the brink. This means that, for a while, humanity was in a perilous state, vulnerable to disease, environmental disasters and conflict. If any of these factors had turned against us, we would not be here.
