In the excitement of GW's victory, I decided to listen to talk radio last night. I usually don't listen to talk radio at night, so I didn't know what to expect. What I got was this left wing weenie named Schultz. I don't know if his show was local (Palm Beach County AM station 1290) or nationally syndicated. I listened for about 1/2 hour. Schultz was taking a lot of callers and below are some of the comments about President Bush being re-elected that I heard: "There goes civil rights, women's rights, gay rights and animal rights." "This is a...

The following is a piece from the Rants and Raves section of the Hometown News, a local rag in Palm Beach County, mostly used for fish wrap: "As we dig out from the third hurricane in less that a month and brace for a fourth, it's natural to wonder: why such extreme weather? Scientists agree that global warming makes sea levels rise and makes storms stronger because temperature shifts disrupt the normal balance. Warmer water makes more violent hurricanes. And even big insurance companies like Swiss Re and Munich Re agree that global warming is causing more losses. While President...

WEST PALM BEACH Ñ — A routine test of Palm Beach County's electronic voting machines was canceled Tuesday because the computer network at the elections office malfunctioned hours before the public exercise. Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore said the "computer crash" won't affect the function of the electronic touch-screen voting machines during the upcoming Nov. 2 presidential election. snip "This is very troublesome, that less than three weeks away from a presidential election we have problems with these machines," said Lale Mamaux, spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Delray Beach, a critic of electronic voting who masterminded a campaign to...

When I'm down here in Palm Beach County on Sunday morning, I usually pick up a copy of a local newspaper called the Hometown News. They have a section called Rants & Raves. The following was in yesterdays edition: Medicare prescription drug benefit is a big asset. "I see lots of TV ads about the Medicare prescription drug benefits and how bad it it, but it works for me. My monthly drug bill has dropped from over $450 to less that $20 a month. I am so grateful for this benefit. Of course, I had to apply for it. That's...

Dear John, As usual, you have it wrong. You don't have a beef with President George Bush about your war record. He's been exceedingly generous about your military service. Your complaint is with the 2.5 million of us who served honorably in a war that ended 29 years ago and which you, not the president, made the centerpiece of this campaign.

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." - President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 "Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear,...

In 1996, I took the ride of my life, but I have no regrets about exposing Bill Clinton for the louse that he is. Blowing the whistle on a powerful politician was different from any activity I had ever undertaken, and I arrested people and dodged bullets for a living! I thought I had seen it all, but I was wrong. When I began my quest to surface the truth, I was an honest, independent, a-political FBI agent. But, when the establishment was finished with me, I was “aligned with the Dole campaign, Big Tobacco, shadowy right-wing financiers of various...
