If you can handle yourself on the avenues of urban America, the wise guys will say you have "street cred." That means you are savvy in the ways of the hood and have credibility among the denizens thereof. "Street cred" allows you acceptance in some tough neighborhoods. In the media salons of Manhattan and Los Angeles there is also a hunger for social credibility. Let's call it "cocktail party cred." That is an acceptance among your peers at swell gatherings where expensive wine and canapes are served.

MARVIN STEWART, MINUTEMAN PROJECT: Well, Mr. Chris Collawick, the president of the Columbian Republican Assembly, invited Jim Gilchrist, myself, and Dr. Corsi to speak at Columbia University. We were concerned, so we did go through the arrangements, prior to the event taking place with respect to security. We were assured that the faculty, that the university, would have adequate security for us at the university. As a result, that was a misnomer, and that was not true. I opened up the event last night with an hour-long speech. But when I opened up, as I always do, stating that I...

O'REILLY: Is there anything that could make you vote Democrat? Is there any scenario that you could envision you supporting the Democrat candidate for president? COULTER: If Zell Miller were running against John McCain. O'REILLY: You're not a big McCain fan, are you? COULTER: No. Actually, I don't really like any of our front-runners. O'REILLY: Really? COULTER: I think it's going to be somebody else. O'REILLY: I think it's going to be Mitt Romney. COULTER: Actually, of the ones they talk about ... he's my favorite. It's somebody out of the blue. O'REILLY: I think Mitt Romney is the guy...

Thanks to the New York Times, we now know the dreaded torture methods the sadistic CIA used on captured Al Qaeda big shots shortly after the 9/11 attack. I warn you: Reading this column any further will subject you to unvarnished brutality. According to a front-page article in the Times on Sunday, Sept. 10, Pakistani authorities captured Abu Zubaydah, Al Qaeda's personnel director, a few months after the terror attack five years ago.

Tampa Bay, Florida - Take a look at this police video. Watch as police pull over a man for speeding and a loud stereo. You'll see as the man gets belligerent - it seems he thinks that noise laws should not apply to what he is listening to. During this stop, the man that was pulled over for speeding explains to the officer, that wasn't listening to rap, and he wasn't listening to rock and roll. He opines that since he was listening to Bill O'Reilly, that it was ok to have it at top decibel. The officer explains differently.

...We’ve all seen or heard of some of the more perverse forms of so-called art that go on display. Statues created from excrement, etc. But how’s about a woman who feels that she’s being artistic by lying around with a dead pig? That was a new one for me, and I’ve seen a lot...

Florida State Attorney Barry Krischer of Palm Beach County rejected that call – even though police believe Epstein regularly brought girls as young as 14 to his mansion for...

On August 2, 2006, the Boston Globe ran on its front page a poignant story about Sgt. Brian Fountaine, a 24-year-old soldier who had lost both legs after a June 8 explosion. Entitled “A Soldier Maimed By War Now Questions the Mission,” A Soldier Maimed by War Now Questions The Mission it purports to express Sgt.

Fountaine’s] view, troop morale has plummeted, suicide has increased, and the sacrifices being made in American blood and treasure suddenly seem...

Mayor Giuliani said last night that America must retain a military option for dealing with Iran's nuclear program. During a nationally televised appearance on Fox News's "The O'Reilly Factor," Mr. Giuliani, who is considering a run for the White House in 2008, said it would be "extremely dangerous" for Iran to have nuclear capability. "I don't think you can take the military option off the table," he said. "You don't have to wave that flag, but you have to leave that there as a possibility." In a swipe at the Democratic Party, which often finds itself attempting to shore up...
