Graeme Frost, who gave the democrat rebuttal to George Bush’s reasons for vetoing the SCHIP Bill, is a middle school student at the exclusive$20,000 per year Park School in Baltimore, MD. Graeme was in a severe car accident three years ago, and received care paid for by the government program known as SCHIP-(State Children's Health Insurance Program) "I was in a coma for a week and couldn't eat or stand up or even talk. My sister was even worse," Graeme wrote. "My parents work really hard and always make sure my sister and I have everything we need, but we...

I don't know if this has been posted already, or, if Glenn is the correct source. This was sent to me via email: JOHN GLENN SAID Things that make you think a little: There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January. In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January. That's just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq . When some claim that President Bush shouldn't have started this war, state the following: a. FDR led us into World War II. b. Germany never attacked...

For nearly two months, Hillary Clinton dodged phone calls, faxes and e-mails from Moonbat Central blogger Rocco DiPippo. Neither Hillary nor her flacks would tell DiPippo whether or not the junior senator from New York supported the so-called International Freedom Center (IFC), a museum which will stand on the site of the fallen World Trade Center. The IFC reportedly plans to desecrate Ground Zero with exhibits on the evils of black slavery, the Jim Crow South, the oppression of American Indians, abuse of terrorist prisoners at Abu Ghraib and other anti-American themes. Last night, Hillary finally broke her silence. "I...

NEW YORK – A maniacal self-delight has been a keynote of John Lithgow's comic performances – a silvery glee like the silvery toupee that crowns him in the new Broadway musical, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. He stars as a con man-count who fleeces wealthy women on the Riviera, and Mr. Lithgow's own joy in his preening and seducing shifts easily into camp vanity ("Breeding is important – but lighting is everything"). Yet he is actually supposed to be the more debonair of the two frauds in this free adaptation of the 1988 Michael Caine-Steve Martin film. If the effortless Mr. Caine...

TOKYO (AP) - Former President Clinton said Sunday that his wife, Hillary, would be an excellent choice as the first female leader of the world's most powerful nation. In an interview with Japan's TV Asahi, Clinton said he did not know whether his wife, the senator of New York state, has any plans to one day run for the presidency. "I don't know if she'll run or not," he told the network, but added, "She would make an excellent president, and I would always try to help her." Hillary Rodham Clinton has said she plans to run for re-election as...

Demonstrations are taking place around the world in protest at a possible US-led attack on Iraq. As many as 100,000 are expected to take part in protests later on Saturday in San Francisco and Washington. Organisers expect the US demo to be the biggest anti-war protest since the Vietnam War. They're just saying that because they want to score some "grass" and hope Jefferson Airplane will come out to play the event - Ivan Other marches are taking place in Rome, Berlin, Stuttgart, Freiburg in Germany, Copenhagen, Denmark; Tokyo, South Korea and Mexico City. South Korea particularly galls me. They...

BRET STEPHEN'S EYES ABROAD: Last refuge of scoundrels So the man who once said that there was "no anti-Semitic implication in the denial of the existence of the gas chambers or even in the denial of the Holocaust" also thinks America is "a leading terrorist state." Here is where any intelligent discussion of anti-Americanism must begin. The man, of course, is Noam Chomsky, professor of linguistics at MIT and author, most recently, of 9-11, which in just a few weeks has sold more than 100,000 copies. According to Chomsky, "we can think of the United States as an innocent victim...
