Did you lose several thousand dollars in cash last month? Prospect Heights police would like to know. Authorities said Friday that a "Good Samaritan" turned in a significant sum of cash to police -- rather than abscond with the loot. Now the police department hopes to reconnect the money with its rightful owner.

GulagBound.com is live blogging beginning this Sunday morning, as events of critical importance are planned in the Sur del Lago region of Venezuela (translated "South Lake" with its key city, Santa Barbara). Just last Sunday, hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans gathered in Caracas and in cities around the world, to peacefully protest against the Marxist dictatorship of Hugo Chavez and to demand their land and freedoms be returned to them.

WASHINGTOON (AF) — It’s a new day in America. President Bush on Friday signed Executive Order 4-01-07, giving himself and future presidents the unprecedented right to use a presidential subpoena as necessary to investigate corruption and malfeasance in the other two branches of government. “This step is necessary,” the president said, “because I noticed the courts have a subpoena power and Congress has a subpoena power and I don’t have any power.
