Bolt breaks his 100m record: 9.5 and Tyson Gay (USA) posts PR of 9.71.

Hugh Hewitt, me, and a friend all had our computers crash while on the internet today. Rush had his MAC crash on Friday, two other friends experienced the same last week. I have had this Gateway desktop for three years and it has been absolutely bug free. However, in the last three weeks it has been surging then shutting itself down. I reset the settings on IE8 and that worked for several days. Today, complete crash and I had to restore my system in order to boot XP. Stayed in IE6 for a brief period then screen went ziggy and...

<p>I clicked to read an article about Detroit priests rationalizing their support for Jennifer Granholm's pro-abortion politics when I discovered that the Detroit Free Press online edition calls itself the Freep. To say the least, I was discomfitted. Is this new? Have Freepers been robbed of their handle?</p>

Ann Coulter was right in her book 'Slander' when she predicted what the networks would consider topical programming on the eve of the election. In addition to featuring the unbelievably slovenly half-wit, Michael Moore, we've also been treated to Cristianne Amanpour shadowing the last days of a convicted murderer on Texas's death row who just happens to be black. And don't forget PBS's uncannily 'topical' (huh?) exploration of the rise of Jim Crow abominations. But wait! That's not all! This week will be even more satisfying for seekers of democrat votes when we all get to relive the Nazi horrors--on...

Agent: FBI Never Got 9/11 Data By Bill Gertz The Washington Times | September 23, 2002 An FBI agent told Congress yesterday that days before September 11 he complained to FBI headquarters that "someone will die" because senior bureau officials refused to permit him to pursue one of the men who later took part in the Pentagon suicide attack. The New York-based FBI agent told a joint House-Senate hearing on the intelligence failures of September 11 that he and other FBI agents were denied CIA intelligence information on Khalid Al-Mihdhar and Nawaf Al-Hazmi. The two al Qaeda terrorists would end...

Terrorist Lawyerby George Packer for the New York Times, Sept. 23, 2003 "Finally [Ramsey] Clark told her that if she refused [to defend terrorists], the Arab world would feel betrayed by their friends on the American left." [excerpt] One Saturday morning in November 1994, Ramsey Clark, attorney general under President Johnson and more recently a spokesman for radical Arab causes, met in his Manhattan office with a criminal defense lawyer named Lynne Stewart. Clark wanted Stewart to take on a new client -- Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, a blind Egyptian cleric and the spiritual leader of the worldwide jihad movement,...

We will be participating in the requiem in Tucson, Arizona. Tune in to your classical radio affiliate (probably NPR) to hear a local performance or concert recording.Even the ultra-libs at NPR couldn't nix this broadcast which like all requiems--that is, masses for the dead-- is a prayer for Christ's mercy on the day of judgment.I highly recommend a glance at this translation of this solemn choral mass. http://www.geocities.com/tusmwchorale/translation.pdf Hold your nose for the obligatory multicultural references if you go to this site.http://www.rollingrequiem.org/

July 17, 2002, 12:50 p.m. Visas for Suspected Terrorists? State defends the indefensible. The State Department is fighting a terrorism task force's recommendation that suspected terrorists be denied visas — this is the same department that wants to hold onto the visa-issuance power in a time of war when our enemies want nothing more than entry into the United States. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage responded to the recommendation by writing to the Justice Department that "[believing that] an applicant may pose a threat to national security... is insufficient [grounds] for a consular officer to deny a visa." No,...

Tucson, Arizona, Saturday, January 13, 2001. Elementary pupils march for civil rights. Martin Luther King tribute. Pupils from Satori Elementary School march along North First Avenue to Satori Preschool with signs they made focusing on current and past civil rights leaders and issues in advance of the observance of the Martin Luther King's holiday. At the preschool the older children cheered and chanted civil rights slogans to their younger counterparts at the end of the one-block march.

Several years ago in Tucson, a young bride, five-months pregnant, was terrorized and murdered by a man hired by her husband only days before to work on their small ranch. The following ludicrous column about the killer's denied rights appeared in Tucson's largest newspaper today. Please click on the link above to read this short but nauseating tract by, argueably, the worst writer and, undoubtably, the most PC columnist in Arizona.

I was surprised to see no news of Pres. Reagan's daughter's losing battle with melanoma. I've heard her condition is grave. Nothing follows.

According to a poster on the easel behind moderator Ron Daniels, the first item on this organization's proposed Voter Bill of Rights is......"Strick (sic) enforcement of voters rights".

December 12, 2000Dear Cynthia, Thank you for your letter of support. At such an important moment in this nation's history, it is a great comfort to receive the encouragement of true Americans like yourself.I am very pleased to hear that you have chosen to take a stand against those individuals who would allow partisanship and personal interests to stand in the way of 'love of country.'Once again, I thank you for your letter.Sincerely yours,Mike

The Boies myth continues to crumble on national tv. I just heard that Boies called Justice Stevens "Justice Brennan" to eruptions of laughter from the observers. Which he then followed by calling Justice Souter "Justice Breyer", more laughter. Scalia then said to Boies, "I'm Justice Scalia", roars.

Some help, please. I am receiving profane and paranoid emails to me. (Nothing follows.)

Freepers are some of the most creative people around. How about an anthem to this great lady?!

Sec. of State Katherine Harris went into the history books tonight as a genuine hero for the principles of self-governance and the rule of law. By my reckoning, she is the first person with the spine to stand up to the lawless Clinton-Gore administration. Long may her name live in glory!

It had to have been Hillary's idea: "Let's celebrate the moment of impeachment on the White House lawn!" I, a hyphenated American woman and self-presumed liberal, who had never cast a vote for a Republican in my long voting life, stood there, frozen. Al Gore was speaking his now deathless words and, no less chilling, the image of Hillary Clinton, pressed up to his left, unconsciously but aggressively nodding, the eyes narrowed and continually skanning to signal, "These are my orders." What hand was at work that day to trip an alarm in the heads of soft-minded, yet patriotic liberals ...
