A New Orleans man has pleaded not guilty to carjacking a 68-year-old Chalmette woman who was attacked last year in a busy Metairie parking lot. Daryle Guillot, 37, who entered the plea Tuesday during his arraignment, was back in a 24th Judicial District courtroom on Thursday, when attorneys and a judge discussed the case privately. Guillot, whose last address was 516 Marigny St., in the Faubourg Marigny, is accused of assaulting the woman on Nov. 12. She just had her hair cut at a business in the 200 block of Veterans Memorial Boulevard, near the 17th Street Canal, according to...

I've come across some youtube videos and some articles about how intricately made was The Shining, that it is filled with a hotel layout which doesn't make sense. And that there are clues within that supports the idea he filmed a fake moon landing.

What if Republicans, and conservatives, simply were to reject the gloom and doom of the socialist left - and be about real hope. Liberals are such pathetic whiners. It won't take long for Americans to tire of them, if presented a real contrast.

It might be a bit cynical, not to mention premature, to call President Bush's new $2.9 trillion budget "dead on arrival." But the myriad proposals on everything from the Pentagon to the National Park Service are certainly going to be massaged a bit-mutilated in some cases, probably-by the new Democratic-controlled Congress. One thing you can bank on, though, is that when all is said and done, nixed and negotiated, Uncle Sam will still be in the red. As the White House figures it, the federal government will be spending $244 billion more than it collects in 2007 (or about 1.8...

This is a fantastic one minute video tribute to our nation. It is truly unique so be sure your sound is on when you watch it.

What has happened to our image as a beacon of freedom, opportunity and the right way to live? Much of the world fears or hates us. We have a proclaimed policy of attacking any country whose policies or regimes don't follow our dictates. Why have we become the biggest bully in the world?
