This past week, Hizbullah invaded Israel with the intention of kidnapping Israeli soldiers. Make no mistake, Hizballah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah vowed Friday that attempts to abduct Israeli soldiers would continue, saying Hizballah has no intention of laying down its arms. They are not considered the world's most dangerous terrorist organization for nothing. Now, operations to kidnap Israelis take a lot of planning. An operation as large as this, which used every type of weapon in the terrorist organization's arsenal, must have been in planning last month, when a group from the PCUSA visited southern Lebanon at the invitation of...

With the Presbyterian Church (USA) already under fire for its one-sided policy calling for divestment of funds in corporations that do business with Israel, another delegation from the PCUSA met recently with the leader of Southern Lebanon's Hezbollah, a reputed terrorist organization. The meeting had a highly partisan political flavor, with the Hezbollah leader criticizing the policies of President George W. Bush and the spokesman for the Presbyterian delegation assuring his host that none of the members of the delegation had voted Democratic or supported the U.S. policies in the Mideast. The PCUSA delegation was led by the Rev. Nuhad...

The unions at McCormick have had a nasty repuation as being rude, corrupt and generally unhelpful when dealing with exibitors. The horror stories are endless. Although I am sure some are embelished, the fact of the matter is that the people who put on the...

City of Pewaukee - A year ago today Margaret Farrow moved into the newly remodeled lieutenant governor's office in Madison. But Wisconsin's first female to fill the No. 2 position in state government vowed earlier this year that her 27-year political career had come to an end when Barbara Lawton was elected to succeed her last November.

"I am leaving the door open a crack," she said this week when asked...
