"2 Canadians slain in Mexico tied to drug trade: police 3 gunmen believed responsible for shootings" Last Updated: Monday, September 28, 2009 | 9:56 PM ET The Associated Press SNIPPET: "Gang investigators in British Columbia say two men gunned down in Mexico were involved in the drug trade, and had been on the radar of gang investigators before they were found shot to death in a Puerto Vallarta condo complex."

A top government scientist who helped the FBI analyze samples from the 2001 anthrax attacks has died in Maryland from an apparent suicide, just as the Justice Department was about to file criminal charges against him for the attacks, the Los Angeles Times has learned. Bruce E. Ivins, 62, who for the last 18 years worked at the government's elite biodefense research laboratories at Ft. Detrick, Md., had been informed of his impending prosecution, said people familiar with Ivins, his suspicious death and the FBI investigation.

Scientist reportedly commits suicide as FBI closes in on 2001 anthrax

I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Democratic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president. Enough. Enough triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling, enough not offending anyone This is not a Dick Morris election. Sen. Clinton is apparently incapable of taking a clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to disqualify her. Her failure to speak out on Terri Schiavo, not to mention that gross pandering on flag-burning, are just contemptible little dodges. The recent death of Gene McCarthy reminded me of a lesson I spent...

Molly Ivins, battling breast cancer afresh, sounds as feisty as ever. The South Austin resident continues writing her left-of-center column, raising money for the journal where she forged her tart take on politics and, of course, cheerfully gigging Republicans such as the well-coifed governor of Texas. Ivins, 61, tongue-in-cheeked that Gov. Rick Perry's trip to Iraq this week will slow anti-American insurgents. "The mere sight of his hair will do a world of good," she said. She chatted with two visitors to her home office in Travis Heights without donning her wig of reddish-blond locks; her pate was nearly bald....

OK, OK.. before any of the Posting police complain that this isn't really BREAKING NEWS, I agree..But it's just toooo delicious not to share with you all...What a great way to start the weekend.....and the callers on the Dem lines should be a real eye opener....

AUSTIN, Texas --- I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Democratic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president. Enough.

Way left syndicated columnist Molly Ivins, who probably hates George Bush more than any other person in America, has publicly jettisoned support for Hillary Rodham-Clinton's presumed presidential run in 2008.

What we need in this country -- along with a disaster relief agency -- is a Media Accountability Day. One precious day out of the entire year when everyone in the news media stops reporting on what's wrong with everyone else and devotes a complete 24-hour news cycle to looking at our own failures. How's that for a great idea? My colleagues, of course, are persuaded that every day is Pick on the Media Day. Every day, the right wing accuses us of liberal bias and the liberals accuse us of right-wing or corporate bias -- so who needs more...

For the uninitiated, the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is an organization of conservatives and libertarians who believe the separation of powers is paramount to ensuring Americans' liberties. Members believe it "the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be." They advocate public policies that place "a premium on individual liberty, traditional values and the rule of law." But to the angry left, no organization is more profane or dangerous to their dream of a socialist world. In a syndicated column last month, knee-jerk progressive Molly Ivins made...

These two dumb broads, yes I called them dumb broads and I'm being kind at that, just can't seem to get it. They and their pals are the ones that have no reality and are constantly betraying the nation and its defenders. Sheesh!!!!Molly Ivins: Reality no issue for Bush Arianna Huffington: White House betrays troops in Iraq
