NRT's Report- Wolicy_Ponk, radu and Mr. radu; wardaddy with sweet virginia and their future Freepers, Reformed Beckite and myself had a great time standing tall for our service people and representing the face of civilized conservatism this Saturday while a few hundred A.N.S.W.E.R.-sponsored “Stop the War” activists marched by.

Ragtag as we were, none of their parade stepped beyond the point of casting a few verbal barbs. Some looked downright ashamed to be seen by us as they walked behind the strange neo-tribal...

AN FRANCISCO (AP) - At the prodding of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, California's attorney general asked the state's top court Friday to stop San Francisco from issuing same-sex marriage licenses until the justices decide whether the weddings are legal.

Dems’ charge against Medicare ads boomerangs; ad firm has Dem ties By Sam Dealey Democratic lawmakers renewed their calls yesterday that Bush administration ads touting changes in the Medicare law enacted last year be halted until their propriety is investigated. The minority lawmakers question both their timing and accuracy, and point to a Republican-oriented firm’s production of the ads as evidence that the media campaign is merely an extension of President Bush’s re-election drive. “The administration chose to use the media team that is part of the Team Bush re-election,” said Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) at a press conference. “They...
