    National Review ^ | 10.06.03 | Rich Lowry
    A presidential primary is a way for a political party to make up its mind. Through the process of nominating a candidate, a party figures out its stances on the new issues and what adjustments, if any, it will make in its positions on the old. So with that, through their collective rhetoric and actions, the ten Democratic candidates have arrived at the outlines of a rough philosophy — the credo of the Democrats of '04. This credo is often nonsensical and hypocritical, but it is clearly discernible. The Democrats of '04 believe: That wars should be authorized, but never...

  • Abu Hamza faces deportation over bigamous marriage

    Times Online ^ | January 30, 2003 | Ian Cobain
    ABU HAMZA AL-MASRI, the controversial imam of Finsbury Park mosque, faces possible deportation after the disclosure yesterday that his British citizenship is based upon a bigamous marriage. The Egyptian-born cleric was granted the right to remain in the UK after he married Valerie Traverso, a young Englishwoman, in May 1980. However, inquiries by The Times have established that Ms Traverso was already married, and not divorced by her first husband until July 1982. That means the marriage is void, according to family law experts, and Abu Hamza could be stripped of his citizenship. The Home Office has long been frustrated...

    The food cops didn't wait long to make a postmortem arrest of Dave Thomas. Thomas, founder of the Wendy's hamburger chain, died last week at his home in Florida of liver cancer. Like all of us, there was much more to Thomas than how he made a living. He used the fruits of his labor to make life better for children waiting for adoption. Thomas used the celebrity garnered by Wendy's commercials to underwrite national and regional adoption organizations. Thomas died around midnight eastern time Monday. By Tuesday, Neal D. Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, faxed ...

    Austin Chronicle - Jimmie Vaughan, All-American ^ | November 23, 2001: | MARGARET MOSER
    ......last section of article Libertarian Picking over a plate of barbecue back at the Iron Works, Jimmie Vaughan reflects on the times we live in. September 11 was the date of his record release party and in-store appearance, both canceled even before the World Trade Center collapsed "out of respect," but also because of an innate sense of duty. That sense had him performing for George W. Bush's presidential campaign last year, and he refuses to be cowed by criticism of it. If there's anything more All-American to Vaughan than loving music, cars, and girls, it's the right to speak ...

    Tonight I saw the most awesome attack against some idiot from the Nation of Islam. If you haven't seen it, catch the re-run later tonight on Fox News. Both Hannity and Colmes ripped this guy a new one. Hannity was especially vicious. I don't remember the name of the racist moron, because it doesn't matter. They are true enemies of America, and they must be dealt with as enemies of America. Say no more!
