Chael Sonnen took a page out of Team Quest teammate Matt Lindland’s book and threw his name in the hat for local politics. “I have officially announced my candidacy for District 37 in Oregon for the House of Representatives,” Sonnen told MMAWeekly.com. Running as a Republican, the preliminary election for the seat takes place in May and the general election in November. “(The position is) currently held by a Republican, and he’s vacating the seat to run for the U.S. Fifth Congressional District,” said Sonnen. “I was recruited by the party to fill his seat, but there hasn’t been any...

I write this on the morning of the end of the once-mighty General Motors. By high noon, the President of the United States will have made it official: General Motors, as we know it, has been totaled. As I sit here in GM's birthplace, Flint, Michigan, I am surrounded by friends and family who are filled with anxiety about what will happen to them and to the town. Forty percent of the homes and businesses in the city have been abandoned. Imagine what it would be like if you lived in a city where almost every other house is empty....

A new song by The Right Brothers responds to liberal critics. It's called What About The Issues and it's free. It's pretty cool.

William Greene, President of the conservative online activist organization RightMarch.com, is announcing his group’s intentions to run a new television ad designed to tell the truth about the success of America’s mission in Iraq. The new 30 second spot titled "Bush Was Right” features a song from the conservative Nashville band "The Right Brothers” and reflects on the positive impact America has had on the war on terror as a result of the 2003 liberation of Iraq. "Saddam is gone, Iraq is free, Libya has renounced its nuclear program,” said William Greene, President of RightMarch.com. "Americans, especially young Americans, need...

The youth in America are being LIED to by liberal politicians and the mainstream media... but we've come up with a GREAT way to get the TRUTH to them: MUSIC.

Their Toyota Indy 400 ended in a crash Sunday, but the action between Danica Patrick and Jaques Lazier didn't end on the track. Afterward, fingers were pointing and poking ... and maybe even punching. And before this one's over, IndyCar promises to have a hand in it. Patrick, who spent most of the day hovering near the back of the top 10, saw her rookie-of-the-year season end in a jarring crash with Lazier that brought out the fourth and final caution flag just 16 laps from the end of the 200-lap event. "The first person I saw after the accident...

The Conference, a gathering of the most influential Conservative activists in the nation, will be held in Washington, D.C., this February. The Right Brothers are a conservative music duo whose lyrics are devoted to addressing the issues at the forefront of the political arena. The music they make has been described as “a lethal weapon for conservatives”, “a moral booster for...

Gymnastics is a sport of strength and flexibility. It’s also a sport that's only offered to girls in area high schools. However, a young man from Stevens Point is fighting to change that. The WIAA has rules in place that prohibit boys and girls from competing on the same team. One aspiring gymnast in our area is fighting to become an exception to that rule. SPASH junior Keith Bukowski has been studying gymnastics for five years. His school doesn't have a boy’s gymnastics team, so he practices with the girl’s gymnastics team every day, but when they head to meets...

Can you sway the electorate with a song? In campaign 2004, a lot of people seem to be trying. On Tuesday, John Mellencamp and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds will at the Riverside Theatre as part of the pro-John Kerry "Vote for Change" drive that includes such enlistees as Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, the Dixie Chicks, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Keb' Mo' and R.E.M. On the other side, President Bush has garnered support from figures in country, Christian and pop music, including Brooks & Dunn, Michael W. Smith, Travis Tritt, Jessica Simpson, Sara Evans and, somewhat surrealistically, Kid Rock. Yet even if...

Two Nashville songwriters have sold a few thousand albums titled "For My Country" anchored by the song "Hey Hollywood," which received 15,000 downloads in its first 72 hours of posting on the conservative activist Web site, www.rightmarch.com. Aaron Sain and Frank Highland are best friends, local songwriters and political conservatives who've become the Music Row voice of the Republican Party. "We like to call it country music with politically based lyrics and a modern flare," Sain says. What started as a political conversation between two friends more than a year ago has blossomed into a mini-music genre that folks in...

The following is a picture of the cover of the Nashville City Paper. Notice the lead story and unfortunate picture placement next to it.

There is a new force in the music industry, a dynamic duo whose passion is writing and music; they are both from Florence and their time is now. Aaron Sain and Frank Highland are the Right Brothers and their first CD , “For My Country” has just been released for public consumption. It is more than appropriate that these two writer/musicians call the Renaissance City home considering our city’s richly diverse musical heritage. Aaron moved to Florence with his family in the fifth grade and remained here until he began college at Freed Hardeman University. Aaron still calls Florence...

CRI PERSPECTIVE CP0103 EVIDENCE FOR CREATION? The idea that God created the world and life is often thought to have been disproved by evolutionary theory. Is there any scientific evidence for creation? The truth is that the scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports creation. Let me attempt to point out just some of this evidence here. First, the scientific community is now almost unanimous in affirming that the universe had a beginning. This is usually referred to in scientific terms as “The Big Bang Theory.” Of course, this implies that someone or something brought the universe into existence. Secondly, the universe...

From Andy Rooney: Most of the reporting from Iraq is about death and destruction. We don't learn much about what our soldiers in Iraq are thinking or doing. There's no Ernie Pyle to tell us, and, if there were, the military would make it difficult or impossible for him to let us know. It would be interesting to have a reporter ask a group of our soldiers in Iraq to answer five questions and see the results: 1. Do you think your country did the right thing sending you into Iraq? 2. Are you doing what America set out to...

But, first, Mel Gibson keeps breaking box office records and Hollywood is not happy about it. It‘s time for tonight‘s “Real Deal.” You know, Hollywood insiders are growing more enraged every day at the success Mel Gibson‘s movie “The Passion” is enjoying at the box office. Most troubling to the barons of Beverly Hills is the fact they can‘t do anything about it. You know, America has chosen sides. And the winner is clearly Mel Gibson in a rout. Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight entered SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY and blasted the movie, saying it was a dangerous work that breeds hatred...

The war in Iraq and our former top U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq, David Kay, have been hot topics in the news for months now. There have been opinions regarding the U.S. participation in the war, and questions on whether or not we had the right to be there. We have grieved with our neighbors over their fallen loved ones. We have shared the joy of the Iraqi-American community with the fall of Saddam Hussein, and shared their despair and grief over the deaths of the friends and relatives they left behind. Throughout everything, I think I can say that...

SPARTANBURG, SC (Talon News) -- A member of the conservative group RightMarch.com has recorded a new country song responding to the leftist attacks against President George W. Bush and America coming from country music artists such as the Dixie Chicks and Willie Nelson as well as liberal Hollywood actors. "Country music fans -- like so many of us -- are proud Americans, and don't take kindly to people taking unfair potshots at our Commander-In-Chief when our country is at war," RightMarch.com said in an e-mail to supporters on Monday. "That goes for anyone, from country 'stars' to Hollywood 'stars' --...

In this edition of Frontpage Interview, we have the privilege of being joined by Dr. Laurie Mylroie, one of the foremost American scholars on Iraq and Saddam Hussein. In her book Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein´s Unfinished War against America, Dr. Mylroie provided substantial evidence implicating Saddam's involvement in four terrorist attacks: the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing; the 1995 bombing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the 1996 attack on the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, and the 1998 bombings of two African embassies. The author of the new book, Bush vs. the Beltway: How the CIA and the State Department...

LONDON (Reuters) - Pop star Elton John (news) is selling off the contents of his London home as he goes minimalist after a lifetime of flamboyant extravagance, auctioning everything from Elizabethan paintings to Art Deco beds. The sale next week is expected to raise more than $1.3 million, with prices ranging from $66 to $66,000 for items of furniture, paintings, baubles and even a pair of stone poodles. "We are selling the entire contents of his London home. He wanted a complete change," Alexandra Reece of auction house Sotheby's, told reporters Wednesday. But in contrast to the 1988 sale of...

Mr. McBride, in your "Open Letter to the Open Source Community" your offer to negotiate with us comes at the end of a farrago of falsehoods, half-truths, evasions, slanders, and misrepresentations. You must do better than this. We will not attempt to erect a compromise with you on a foundation of dishonesty. Your statement that Eric Raymond was "contacted by the perpetrator" of the DDoS attack on SCO begins the falsehoods. Mr. Raymond made very clear when volunteering his information and calling for the attack to cease that he was contacted by a third-party associate of the perpetrator and does...

TOLEDO, Ohio -- Now that the majors are over, Phil Mickelson wants a shot at the minors -- in baseball. Mickelson is scheduled to have a tryout Friday with Toledo, the Triple-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, with hopes of pitching for the Mud Hens this weekend. ''This is a lifetime dream of mine, and I'm extremely grateful to the Toledo organization for giving me the chance to live it,'' Mickelson said in a statement. Mickelson, whose 21 victories on the PGA Tour are the most of any player in the modern era to have never won a major, threw...

<p>Here's the thing about the human heart: You can't legislate it. You can't make laws requiring people to like broccoli. You can't force people into theaters to see "Gigli."</p> <p>And it's the reason the NFL's minority hiring policy is seriously flawed.</p>

BALTIMORE -- Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa has at least one high-profile supporter who has endured his share of media scrutiny while leading an entire country. Former president Bill Clinton told Sosa to hang in there. Sosa had his eight-game suspension reduced by one game by Major League Baseball on Wednesday, a day after having a hearing that included Sosa's agent, Tom Reich, and Cubs president Andy MacPhail speaking on Sosa's behalf. Sosa spoke candidly before playing Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles about the fallout he expects from using a corked bat last week in a game against the Tampa...

CLEVELAND - High school basketball star LeBron James was ruled ineligible to play for the rest of the season because he accepted free clothes. The decision Friday by the Ohio High School Athletic Association comes four days after James, a senior at St. Vincent-St. Mary, was cleared for accepting a $50,000 sport utility vehicle as a gift from his mother. Last Saturday, James was given two retro sports jerseys from a clothing store. The jerseys, honoring former Chicago Bears (news) running back Gale Sayers and former Washington Bullets (news) center Wes Unseld, cost a combined $845. James' school must forfeit...

As state senators search for an income tax package that could command a majority vote, many of those opposed to the concept continue to assert that a tax on general income is unconstitutional in Tennessee. The last five state attorneys general have signed opinions defending the constitutionality of such a tax. The present attorney general, Paul Summers, issued the most detailed of these opinions two years ago. And he has several times appeared before legislative committees and met with legislators in private settings to reaffirm his position and answer questions. Yet, for the nearly three years in which the current...
