First off, none of you will remember me I was a me member of ATRW and was active when W was president, I wonder if lazmataz and john_huang2 are still around. But now that I'm back... What did I miss? Also, how's jimrob?

Reports from the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, suggest that most of the world's leaders are convinced that the current crisis is the result of inherent flaws in capitalism, and are eager to impose new international rules to save the world. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is calling on President Obama to join him in creating a new economic system. "Simply tweaking the old system won't do," he says. He wants "a system of open markets, unambiguously regulated by an activist state, and one in which the state intervenes to reduce the greater inequalities that competitive markets will...

Liberals: Can we surrender to Trinidad now? by JohnHuang2 Regarding the plot to blow up New York’s JFK airport, there’s good news and bad news. The good news — the plotters were caught. The bad news (for liberals) — the plotters were caught. It’s now five years and nine months of BusHitler’s “incompetent” and “failed” ‘Global Bumper Sticker On Terror’ but there’s still been no terrorist attack on U.S. soil — leaving al-Qaeda and the Democrats feeling very frustrated these days. Showing that he can be tough on terrorists, John Edwards swiftly responded to news of the plot by...

You would think that even Rosie O'Donnell could grasp that there is indeed a difference between "radical Christianity" and "radical Islam." No doubt conservative Christian evangelicals were who Rosie had in mind as "radical" Christians.

Fourteenth century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus: "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." Islamists -- evil and inhuman. Seven centuries before Bush invaded Iraq. Boy, was that a mistake. A prominent imam said...

Is it just me or does it seem like the nation was just days ago acting like it was September 10 all over again? Sure, the foiled airline terror plot in London yesterday seemed to recalibrate the terror-ticker in most Americans, but why did it need to? Continues... ============================================================== Have a happy civil war! Right now, the one question on everyone's lips seems to be, 'Will there be a ceasefire?' The more relevant question is: Can there be peace? If history is any guide, the answer is yes, but only when a clear winner emerges. At any rate, far from...

Fact-resistant Qana-rrhea outbreak in Media *"Gaunt and exhausted, tormented with the worry about his missing family, Jamal Fayed yesterday wondered round the vast heap of reeking detritus," evidence of horrendous Israeli war crimes. -- The Independent *"Israeli officials were desperately scrambling to explain the war crimes" they committed "as the international furore over the devastation rose to new heights yesterday." Evidence against Israel mounted yesterday when a British pathologist said that he suspects that allegations "that a large number of civilians died and are (still) under the rubble are highly credible." -- The Independent *". . . the evidence...

WASHINGTON -- To the excitement of all Washington, the hullabaloo over President George W. Bush's nomination of Harriet E. (and you can be sure the Senate Judiciary Committee will get to the bottom of this mysterious "E" in due course) Miers builds, picking up wails and execrations daily. What makes the excitement so Continues...============================================================= The Borkette-ing of Harriet Miers OK, on the downside, you-know-who at one time was a Democrat.

Born-again Christian. Ah-ha! Big flip flop there! No...

The absence of a committee recommendation was a blow to the White House, says CBS News White House Correspondent Bill Plante. Still, if Voinovich is the only Republican defector – and that appears to be the case – Bolton's nomination will likely be approved in the Senate, where the GOP has a 55 to 44 edge over the Democrats, with one independent.

"John Kerry will win the election." He noted that "Kerry's performance of late has hardly been inspiring and polls show that most Americans have no...

MEET WILLIAM JEFFERSON CHAMBERLAIN A New York Post Editorial Regarding North Korea, the world's most frightening nation, Bill Clinton has made bribery the cornerstone of his failed foreign policy once again. The administration yesterday announced the easing of trade, banking and travel restrictions in place against the Stalinist state since the Korean armistice in 1953. The loosening of sanctions came after Pyongyang apparently - we use the word advisedly - backed off on a promise to fire a long-range ballistic missile over Japan, as it did just over a year ago. The Japanese viewed the initial missile "test" as a...

<p>Bowing to political pressure from the religious right, President George W. Bush today made it official. He endorsed a constitutional amendment authored by Rev. Jerry Falwell that would define marriage as the union between a white man and a white woman only. Excerpted--click here for full article.</p>
