WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Rules Committee moved closer on Tuesday to issuing this warning to lawmakers: Do not remove from the U.S. Capitol furniture, paintings and other historic items. "We are not supposed to steal from the Capitol," Sen. Don Nickles, an Oklahoma Republican, said wryly after the panel sent the proposed rule to the full Senate for consideration. "We're not supposed to, but it has been a regular practice over about 150 years," replied Chairman Trent Lott, a Mississippi Republican. Senate aides explained that lawmakers often manage to take home a piece of furniture for a discounted...

Sadly, he reflected that the young man who would become Louis XVI faced tough times. Old King Louis may not have known that his son...

<p>Yes, she's running for president. Is that good for the Democrats?</p> <p>There is not much mystery about the political ambition or political strategy of Hillary Rodham Clinton. She wants to be president. She ran for senator in New York in 2000 because the job would make her a more plausible candidate for president and because she preferred being a senator to being a former first lady. She journeyed methodically to all 62 counties in New York on a "listening tour" and learned about the special problems of upstate New York. Upstaters, like most Americans, love to be visited by celebrities, and her travels enabled her--as similar travels enabled Robert Kennedy in 1964--to win a near-majority in usually Republican upstate, which, together with her big majority in Democratic New York City, resulted in a solid statewide victory.</p>

According to a friend of mine who reads scripts for a living, you can tell whether a script will be decent or not by simply reading the first few pages. "I don't know of any film that's been able to salvage a bad first act," she said. It is in this spirit that I picked up Hillary's book in Borders this afternoon. I think it's safe to say that you'd have to idolize Hillary to get through it without falling asleep. Rrom the first sentence on, it reads like a whitewashed memoir, perhaps of the head of some bland corporation....

Hillary’s Fable The lie she’s sticking with. By Dick Morris Hillary Clinton had a problem on Jan. 21, 1998, the day the Washington Post broke the story of Monica Lewinsky: She had to make sure her husband stayed in office. Despite her personal pain at his betrayal — and there was undoubtedly great pain — she couldn't both publicly defend Bill and admit that she knew of the affair with the White House intern. To be credible in protecting her husband, she had to deny knowledge. And now she needs to keep up the story. Hillary's formula for defending herself...

In Sen. Hillary Clinton’s attack on President Bush’s economic policies, comparing him to Herbert Hoover, she was staking out her claim to the Democrats' 2004 presidential nomination, says radio talk show host and nationally syndicated columnist Michael Reagan. President Ronald Reagan’s oldest son, a NewsMax Magazine columnist, writes that Hillary’s speech at a Democrat function in Connecticut "is a dead giveaway to the fact that she’s going after the Democrat presidential nomination next year – not in 2008 as all the so-called experts have been predicting." In his syndicated column released today, Reagan wrote that Hillary looked around "at...
