It's not going to work, boys. I know how much you enjoy blowing up innocent people, people whose only crime is going to work in the morning. I can't imagine how much fun it must be to meet secretly while building bombs and coordinating cold-blooded murder. I can't imagine the thrill of carefully executing your plan and how the head fellows in your organization — not the unfortunate slobs who wrapped bombs around their torso in exchange for 72 virgins — likely watched the explosions from a safe distance. "Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its...

THE LEFT’S CIVILITY SCAM By Don Feder Last week, the inimitable Ann Coulter was on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” to discuss her new book, “How To Talk To A Liberal (If You Must)”. Co-host Charles Gibson – a media cheerleader for the Kerry campaign, who once expressed disbelief that anyone could question the Democratic nominee’s “distinguished war record” -- used the interview as an occasion to deliver another unctuous homily on the need for civility in politics. For the left, civility is a one-way street, running toward them – but never in the opposite direction. Gibson, who hosted the second...

Motivated by what he views as an assault on free speech by the ACLU, a Georgia man has launched a campaign to distribute thousands of Ten Commandments signs across the nation. Robert Frey, a 33-year-old "average guy who's fed up and wants to do something," has set a goal of selling 100,000 signs, suitable for front yards, through a website, TheRevolutionWillBeLive.com. "By joining together in this spiritual battle we can give the ACLU a nightmare of fits when it realizes that the more it and its ilk try to destroy America, the stronger we will be, the louder we will...

Conservative students who unleashed the protest against UNC-Chapel Hill's reading program will sit down today with Chancellor James Moeser, but they won't be debating "Nickel and Dimed." The students, who earlier this year formed a group called the Committee for a Better Carolina, have a broader agenda. They say conservative students are uncomfortable and intimidated on a campus that is overwhelmingly liberal, and they want the university to commit to big changes. First, they will ask Moeser to include political affiliation and ideology in the university's official nondiscrimination policy. They also want the university to devote more money to bring...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2003--On March 30, 2003 the Bloomberg smoke-ban arrives in New York City, and the smokers depart. They're heading for a Bye-Bye New York City Bash at Hoboken's famous Frankie & Johnnie's Steakhouse, a place that earned its fame as a speakeasy in the '20s. Smokers who've had it with being banned are deciding to vote with their feet.  "We're going where the bars and restaurants like our company and the welcome mat's the only thing that's tossed outside the door," says an upbeat Audrey Silk, the organizer and founder of New York City C.L.A.S.H. That's Citizens...

The Philippines army says that it has captured a key rebel stronghold as part of a major offensive on the southern island of Mindanao.

But a spokesman for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) denied that they were on the run, and said that they had simply changed tactics. Casualty figures are also hotly disputed. The government claims to have killed at least 140 rebel fighters, but rebel...

COLTON - It was the swat heard 'round the world. An angry mayor mashed a giant fly swatter against a podium at a news conference in September. The mayor, Deirdre Bennett of Colton, declared war on a federally protected fly that many say is exterminating the city's economy by halting development projects. The story had wings. National media seized on the news of a mayor challenging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, saying her city would no longer try to provide the healthy habitat for the only fly on the endangered-species list. Colton's battle with the protectors of the Delhi...

Democrat leaders have said that through these tactics they can possibly reap political benefits in November. "Now is the time for leaders to help instill confidence in our economy and confidence in our markets so...

hat happens when a school district catches parents illegally exercising school choice? The school superintendent in Linwood, N.J. hired a $200-an-hour private investigator to determine the real address of students after some parents allegedly lied about where they live in order to send their kids to a better school. In Englewood, N.J., the school board hired an outside management firm to root out illegally enrolled students and force them to pay tuition or attend schools in their home districts. It's a similar story in other school districts across the country. School boards cite burgeoning class sizes and free loading as...
