Art Bell, radio's master of the paranormal and outward edges of science, will return to the microphone on Sept. 16 with a new nighttime show on Sirius XM Radio. Bell was one of radio's top syndicated voices in the 1990s before walking away from his nightly show in 2002 due to family issues. He worked occasionally after that but hasn't been on the air since Halloween 2010. "I missed it terribly," said Bell, 68, whose weeknight show will air live from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. ET. Sirius is building a studio at Bell's rural Nevada home where he will...

To all my friends and those who hate me: This is to let y'all know that I have officially outgrown the moniker Longelegantlegs. I have decided on the name Pretty Boots, which I think we can all agree is much more indicative of my deep, insightful commentary, serious nature, and rapidly fading 'hot young chick' status. Please bear with us during this difficult transition time and send your monetary donations c/o Jim Robinson. Thank you. P.S. Guliani still sucks.

I've been a member of FR for a few years now, and it's an AMAZING site overall. I actually get a sizeable chunk of my news- not so much the headlines, but the analysis behind the news, on FR. I am pleased to have JR allow us to post on his site. Having said that, I feel compelled to vent on some of the things that have been annoying me to no end. *** MSM is Dying or Becoming Extinct ***.

The wounded man appears to be genuinely apologetic for any and all sins he may have inadvertently committed over the course of his otherwise charmed life, but the American soldier continues to speak somewhat impolitely to him, while a Navy corpsman arrives and is seen to viciously take al-Zarqawi's blood pressure and to brutally administer an analgesic. The International Red Cross and the UN Civil Rights Commission lead by Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Red China has ask for a full investigation into this alleged case of POW abuse .
