...LOST would have our country surrender its sovereignty on the seas to a body called the International Seabed Authority (ISA), whose membership is stacked in favor of Third World nations. If the Senate ratifies LOST, we will have given the ISA the authority to determine what rights our country will have to mine minerals located on the ocean floor and the right to tax their extraction only hope that conservatives across this nation will come to the defense of our country’s sovereignty by making it absolutely clear, in no uncertain terms, where they stand. If everyone does, I am confident...

He ranks No. 1 on this year's "Frigid 50" roster of lackluster stars published by online movie magazine FilmThreat.com. ...[The] list names the stars it found to be the "the polar opposite of the hottest celebrities. These are the least powerful, least-inspiring, least-intriguing people in Hollywood," it said. "The Frigid 50 ice pack have left audiences cold with their overbearing personalities, poor career choices and chronic inability to stop making fools of themselves..."

Ali, Omar and Mohammed, three brothers whose blog Iraq The Model was one of the first to open a window directly into Iraq and helped pioneer blogging by Iraqis, publish love letters to their readers and to their liberators on this auspicious occasion of their one year blog anniversary. From Mohammed.…And this is the reason why we keep writing to you and we know that our love will find its way to you. No borders can stop it and no power on earth can stand between the love and the heart that opened its doors for the light. My dearest.....

Having lurked without posting on DU (knowing I would want to see their reaction and post a "SO THERE!" after the election)I still have access...... Let me tell, you they are FURIOUS.... reports of crying, vomiting, moving out of the country (claiming other countries will welcome the 'brain drain' LOL), making new political parties, creating the most massive protest the world has ever seen at the inauguration, plans to boycott businesses owned by 'Rethugs', plans to organize a movement to block Bush's presidency and the Republican House & Senate, demand recounts anyway, disown Kerry for caving (lots and lots of...

Immediately after Malbrunot and Chesnot were abducted, President Jacques Chirac launched an intense effort to secure their freedom. At the same time, he saw a chance not only of circumventing the US authorities in Baghdad, but torpedoing a potential Washington-Damascus rapprochement over joint military border action. To this end he took three steps: 1. He formed a special panel at the Elysee Palace of French intelligence officers and diplomatic advisers with good connections in Arab countries, such as the former UN secretary general Boutros Boutros-Ghali, who is well remembered in Washington for his contribution to the 1993 American military debacle...

According to reports, the hole in Earth's ozone layer is about 20% smaller than it was last year. How can this be? If one is to believe John Kerry along with his anti-American compatriots in the UN and other Leftist lunatics, President Bush's rejection of the Kyoto Protocol is the reason for any and all environmental challenges we face today and clear evidence that Bush doesn't care about the world's physical condition or the world's opinion. Never mind that Clinton signed the treaty against unanimous objection by both the House and the Senate. Kerry even brought it up in last...

My reply to the following (from a Liberal) around the time the Abu G scandal first hit and accusations of “illegal invasion of Iraq“ reached a crescendo:i AM outraged and disgusted in the acts of violence carried out by our governments in OUR names for OUR interests. are you not?And in whose name, might I ask, and in whose interests, should we carry out acts of necessary violence? Antarctica? France? Before I woke up to reality, there was a time when I would have echoed your sentiments because.... well, we were supposed to be ‘better‘. We knew better. We enjoyed...

Just moments after Iraqi PM Allawi spoke to a joint meeting of Congress wherein he thanked America, describing the horror of life under Saddam and Iraq’s staggeringly swift progress toward self-sufficiency under the umbrella of US protection, John Frickin’ Kerry on national TV today accused Allawi of being in cahoots with President Bush to lie about the state of Iraq! In a stunning and breathtaking breach of diplomatic decency now seared in my memory (seared, I tell you), Kerry dragged Allawi directly into his tasteless campaign rhetoric, saying:"The prime minister and the president are here obviously to put their best...

From a WASHINGTON TIMES article, we discover more hypocrisy from the NEA and AFT - the two significant teachers’ unions in America and rabid detractors of public school accountability. Recent reports show that the percentage of public school teachers who send their children to private school is far greater than the percentage of the general population, which is only about 12% overall (based on 2000 census figures). Washington DC, 28% Baltimore, 35% Philadelphia, 44% Cincinnati, 41% Chicago, 39% Rochester, N.Y., 38%. San Francisco-Oakland area, 34% New York City, 33% New Jersey suburbs, 33% Milwaukee, 29% New Orleans, 29% According to...
