9 OCTOBER 2003 I'm an "Admirer" of Hitler, Too -- And Any Politico Who Isn't Damn Well Ought To Be The name “Adolph Hitler” sends a chill down the spine of any sane, rational human being with an even cursory knowledge of history. The very name means EVIL. For me, the son of an Auschwitz survivor and former advisor to the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, hearing the name Adolph Hitler triggers many deep-rooted emotions. As the son of a father who spent a year of his youth as a prisoner in the Auschwitz concentration camp, Hitler’s name means...

OCTOBER 3 - 9, 2003 The Times Leaks on ArnoldWhat did the Democrats know and when did they know it? by Bill Bradley Senior Democratic strategists knew the particulars of last Thursday’s L.A. Times exposé on Arnold Schwarzenegger well in advance of the story’s publication, the Weekly has learned from well-informed sources. This knowledge came not only in advance of publication but also before anyone outside a close circle at the Times knew of the story’s timing and particulars. While the Times insists that its reporting uncovered the allegations of sexual misconduct on the part of Schwarzenegger, there can...

Anyone see a transcript of the comments Kate Hudson made disparaging Americans in France; how France is justified in not liking Americans?

I used to watch a show called "Ethics in America" some time ago where they had 10-15 "experts" in their field in a horseshoe-shaped conference table and discussed issues of the day. One episode which has practical sigificance today was called,"Under Orders, Under Fire," and author/editor James Fallows discussed it in his infamous "Atlantic Monthly" article and heralded book, "Breaking the News". The moderator was Charles Ogletree, a professor at Harvard Law School, who moved from panelist to panelist asking increasingly difficult questions in the law school's famous Socratic style. In the current conflict with Iraq, given the enormous number...

Take a listen to this. Great stuff!

Volume 16 Message from Doug:Tomorrow, New Jerseyans have a historic opportunity to choose between the failed policies of the past and new leadership for the 21st Century.

It's clear that these recent sniper attacks in Maryland, DC and Virginia will be used in the upcoming election by gun grabbers to substantiate their anti-gun legislative agenda. The most cogent argument is that not one gun law would have PREVENTED these cold-blooded murders. Can we come up with some statistics to help our candidates? Such as: 1) How many gun laws were broken by the murder(s)? 2) What is the recent record of enforcement by ATF and Justice department officials of current gun laws? 3) How many times are guns used to prevent crimes?

The Torricelli-Lautenberg machine’s disregard for the rule of law, fair elections and the people of New Jersey will, once again, make our great state the butt of national jokes. “The good people of New Jersey understand what has transpired over the past few days.

Filed at 11:46 p.m. ET DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin's re-election campaign admitted Monday it somehow obtained a transcript from one of his Republican challenger's private strategy meetings -- and later leaked the document to a reporter. Jeff Link, Harkin's campaign manager, apologized after earlier suggesting that GOP Rep. Greg Ganske might have leaked the material himself in a bid to tar Harkin. The eight-page transcript is from a Sept. 3 meeting between Ganske and about two dozen supporters. Link denied that someone from the Harkin campaign had slipped into the meeting and taped it. State...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 — Prominent national Democrats now regard Senator Robert G. Torricelli of New Jersey as their party's most vulnerable Senate incumbent, prompting concern that his endangered seat might cost Democrats control of the Senate. Many Democrats said they had expected Mr. Torricelli to more easily overcome his ethics troubles. Instead, his predicament has roiled the party and stirred resentment toward him among fellow Democrats. Some of them say that Mr. Torricelli's wounds are self-inflicted and that he opened himself to attack — not to mention gave ammunition to his Republican challenger, Douglas R. Forrester — by engaging in...

Insight on the News - Daily Insight Issue: 10/01/02 Torricelli's Terrorist-List Friends By Kenneth R. Timmerman Sen. Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.) is facing what could be the toughest election campaign of his life, embroiled in a series of campaign-finance scandals that Republican challenger Douglas Forrester skillfully has exploited. The real surprise in this campaign is not Torricelli's sleazy New Jersey politics or his relationship to David Chang, the businessman who has admitted in court to making illegal campaign contributions to the "Torch" [see "Taking on 'The Torch,'" Sept. 23]. It has come from revelations, first aired by the American Spectator...

As the Torch Burns August 7, 2002 No.4 What do New Jersey voters think? · “You have just told two versions of the same story. Were you lying then? Or are you lying now? “On April 18, 2001, a very agitated and contentious Torricelli adamantly and vigorously denied that he ever took gifts from David Chang… Pounding on the lectern… he seemed like a little boy hurt by such charges. “Fast forward to the present and the conciliatory remarks after his admonishment in the Senate, where he acknowledged the receipt of gifts… “He should do the honorable thing and resign.”...
