Free Republic

WASHINGTON -- There is no doubt Rep. John Boehner of Ohio is quietly enlisting support from fellow House Republicans to elect him as majority leader in January. The question is whether Rep. Tom Reynolds of New York also is campaigning to be majority whip.Reports of a Boehner-Reynolds ticket have circulated in Washington, but Reynolds vigorously denies it. If he does run for whip, Reynolds would be accused of cutting and running from his duties as House Republican campaign chairman because of the difficult 2006 midterm election ahead.A special election in January would mean House Republicans have given up on Tom...

Focus returns to Reynolds murder as Kolb trial opens By Kurt Allemeier, kallemeier@qconline.com Tony Reynolds was first angry, then distraught, when he reported his 16-year-old daughter missing one Friday in January. He looked for her and hoped she would come home. She never did. What happened to Adrianne Leigh Reynolds on that day and the events that followed -- the discovery of the girl's dismembered and burned body and the arrest of three teens -- will be heard in court this week. One of the teens, Sarah Anne Kolb, 17, of 1003 W. 10th St., Milan, is to go on...

BY GLENN HARLAN REYNOLDS Sunday, October 23, 2005 12:01 a.m. EDT The Bush administration has made two kinds of mistakes with the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. One kind is substantive, the other procedural. The substantive mistakes have to do with Ms. Miers's qualifications, including her current position. It's entirely possible, of course, that if confirmed, Ms. Miers will become a stellar Supreme Court justice; history has produced surprises before. Earl Warren, after all, was a politician, and expected to be easily manipulated by the court's brighter intellects. William J. Brennan Jr. was a state judge of...

9/11 Theory a House of Cards By William John Hagan Houston Home Journal 06/22/2004 I took the attacks of September 11th on the World Trade Center personally. Thousands of our fellow citizens were murdered that day by Islamic Terrorists and, these cowards endangered some of my dearest friends when my beloved Manhattan was attacked. I was also commended by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation for my proposed memorial design during the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition. So when someone denies the facts about that horrible day I don’t get mad, I get furious. Within days of Usama Bin Laden...

Oh, man. Some of you thought the earthquake predictor a few nights ago was bad. Now, Nutso Nourey has on professor Morgan Reynolds who believes that the falling of the Twin Towers was a controlled demolition. Listen and have fun.

W's former chief economist for the Department of Labor, Morgan Reynolds proved that nutballs exist at all levels of government when he recently said that the official assessment of the WTC collapse was, "bogus" and that the towers came down due to a planned explosion by the Feds. Incredibly, Reynolds goes on to say "If demolition destroyed three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for an 'inside job' and a government attack on America would be compelling." Wait a second here. This guy is a former economist and he thinks the Bush administration blew...

Actor Burt Reynolds may be in some hot water. At a New York screening for the movie "The Longest Yard" on Tuesday night, Reynolds apparently slapped a producer who was on assignment for CBS. The incident happened after the producer informed Reynolds he had not seen the original 1974 film. It's hard to tell whether Reynolds was serious or just kidding. His publicist issued a statement that "Burt playfully tapped him on the cheek, as if to say, ‘Well, that's not very nice, not to have seen the movie.’ He was kidding. There was no anger and no problems between...

The news business is in trouble. Readership and viewership are declining, public trust is plummeting, and advertisers are beginning to wonder whether they're getting their money's worth. This has led people to think about what blogger and tech journalist Doc Searls calls business models for "news without newspapers," an approach to reporting and disseminating news that doesn't depend on layers of editors for publication, and big ads from carmakers for funding. Nobody's sure just how to do that yet. That's likely to change, though. Already we're seeing a lot of reporting from non-journalists, where the "reporter" is just whoever happens...

Three years ago, I looked at the phenomenon of "preference cascades" -- in which people who have been obliged to conceal their true beliefs by social pressure or sheer force suddenly discover that a lot of other people feel the same way -- and wrote: "This illustrates, in a mild way, the reason why totalitarian regimes collapse so suddenly. (Click here for a more complex analysis of this and related issues). Such regimes have little legitimacy, but they spend a lot of effort making sure that citizens don't realize the extent to which their fellow-citizens dislike the regime. If the...

The Reynolds story... November 24, 2004 BY MICHAEL SNEED SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST Former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds was reportedly a personal guest of former President Bill Clinton at the dedication of his library in Little Rock, Ark., last week. *Background: During his final hours in office, Clinton commuted the jail sentence of Reynolds, who served 2-1/2 years in federal prison on charges of corruption and having sex with an underage girl. Reynolds petitioned for clemency so he could be reunited with his children, who he felt needed him desperately. Clinton concurred. *Foreground: Reynolds was accompanied by his son and namesake, 11-year...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Actor Burt Reynolds (search) sued his former girlfriend Monday, alleging that she was threatening to falsely accuse him of abuse if he did not pay millions of dollars in extortion.

The ProjectUSA billboard at 499 Englewood in North Buffalo was defaced within days of going up. The Wall Street Journal's editorial page has denied responsibility. The billboards in Buffalo at 612 Sheridan Dr., 3684 Delaware, and 3670 River Rd have avoided any damage so far. The ProjectUSA voter awareness campaign in New York’s 26th congressional district was barely underway before someone ruined one of our billboards by scrawling the words "erase racism" across its face. The billboard carried the factual statement, “Congressman Tom Reynolds supports amnesty for illegal aliens,” and was one of four located in the northern and...

<p>CHICAGO -- Back in 1992, when Chicago Democrat Mel Reynolds was elected to Congress, there was no telling how high he would climb.</p> <p>He had escaped Chicago's public housing to study at Harvard and Oxford and, on his third try, ousted a longtime congressman from Chicago's South Side and southern suburbs. He became a darling of local Democrats, made his presence known on Capitol Hill with an appointment to the powerful Ways and Means Committee, and was even invited to jog with President Clinton.</p>
