WASHINGTON – A friend asked me why we decided to move to Washington. My answer? That's where the bad guys are. Another acquaintance suggested I would become corrupted by this city – that it would "eat me alive." My response? He that is in me is greater than he that dominates this city. Yes, this is my first official column from inside the beltway. From now on, this is home. It's also the new battlefield. When WorldNetDaily incorporated as an independent, for-profit newssite a few years ago, we decided to set up shop far from this madding center of political...

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - President Bush signed landmark campaign finance legislation Wednesday and the National Rifle Association swiftly filed suit challenging the constitutionality of the new law. Bush signed the measure in the Oval Office — without the public signing ceremony often staged for major legislation. In a written statement, he said that while the bill has flaws, it "improves the current system of financing for federal campaigns." Bush then embarked on a two-day swing to South Carolina and Georgia, where he planned to raise more than $3 million for GOP candidates for Congress. Critics have long argued the legislation...

Daschle Refuses to Apologize: 'I'm Amused' Chuck Noe, NewsMax.comSaturday, March 2, 2002 Senate plurality leader Tom Daschle refused Friday to apologize for attacking President Bush's war on terrorism. "I think the Republicans' reaction is nothing short of hysterical," the South Dakota Democrat said in the sing-song little-boy voice he uses when talking to reporters. "I'm amused, frankly. I'd asked them to take a look at what I said, because I stand by what I said." The refusal of Daschle and other Democrats, including Sens. Joseph Biden of Delaware, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Kent Conrad of North Dakota and ...

The Senate Press Gallery, which grants permanent congressional press passes to hundreds of news organizations – from the ubiquitous Associated Press to tiny one-man operations, from college papers to the official propaganda organs of totalitarian nations – has denied the same accreditation to the Internet's leading independent newssite, WorldNetDaily.com. A permanent congressional press pass is an essential tool for Washington-based journalists, since it allows unfettered access to many key government offices, congressional hearings, press conferences and the like. Currently, more than 300 daily publications of all conceivable types are accredited by the gallery – even foreign government-owned-and-controlled press organs such ...

Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said this morning that the U.S. economy is showing enough signs of revival that it is no longer clear that it needs a boost from a stimulus program of tax cuts and spending increases. After long negotiations, congressional Republicans and Democrats and the Bush administration were unable to agree late last year on provisions of such a program to help the sagging economy. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) this week has sought to revive the debate by offering a less extensive plan which the White House and some Republicans on Capitol Hill said could ...

OSLO (Reuters) - An American woman had no need to fasten her seatbelt on a flight from Scandinavia to the United States after a high-pressure vacuum flush sealed her to the toilet seat of the transatlantic airliner. The woman filed a complaint with Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) after her ordeal on a Boeing 767 flight last year. She got sucked in after pushing the flush button while seated, activating a system to clean the toilet by vacuum, the airline said Monday. ``She could not get up by herself and had to sit on the toilet until the flight had landed ...
