A disastrous blunder by England goalkeeper Robert Green cost his side victory as they drew 1-1 with the United States in their Group C opener in Rustenburg on Saturday night. England were leading 1-0 through a fourth minute Steven Gerrard goal approaching halftime when Clint Dempsey sent in a weak shot from just outside the penalty area.

WASHINGTON — In 1850, the elderly master of a South Carolina estate took pen in hand and painstakingly divided up his possessions. Among the spinning wheels, scythes, tablecloths and cattle that he bequeathed to his far-flung heirs was a 6-year-old slave girl valued soon afterward at $475.

Last month, an MSNBC anchor claimed socialist was the new N-word. On Tuesday, a contributing editor of the liberal website Daily Kos took this insanity a step further by creating and posting a picture depicting Tea Partiers as racists and Fox News's Glenn Beck as their leader. Why are Beck and so many Americans deserving of this dishonor? Because they are "fond of calling the Obama Administration a haven for 'socialist' and 'communist' radicals" (truly offensive picture below the fold with its truly offensive caption):

A new Osama bin Laden message from al Qaeda's as-Sahab Institute for Media Production is to be released soon, according to IntelCenter, which monitors extremist websites. Sites have begun to advertise a new message. In his message, bin Laden will reportedly address events in Gaza and Lebanon. This message has been expected and is consistent with new efforts in 2006 by al Qaeda's senior leadership to be responsive in their messages to current developments.

Starting off the day will be Real Salt Lake's Douglas Sequeira and his Costa Rican teammates, who play Ecuador at 8:55 a.m. ET in Hamburg (ESPN2). The ticos showed pluck in their Group A opener against Germany on Friday, making a game of it by scoring twice against the hosts before falling 4-2. The Central Americans will need to have more players get involved in the attack against Ecuador, as Paulo Wanchope provided their only offense. The Ecuadorians got a huge weight off their shoulders by downing Poland 2-0 in their group play opener Friday. Previously, the side had been...

Startin' off good today!

Don't they look like they deserve a raise?

After the Civil War there was a series of Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. At the time, it was important for the Federal Government to act and enforce Civil Rights for the freed slaves. The most controversial of these amendments has been the 14th. Written in vague, indistinct prose, Supreme Court Judges have used the 14th Amendment to twist the Constitution into any personal political stance they have seen fit. Why don't we now use the legal powers of Congress, of our elected officials, to rectify the language in this post-Civil War, ambiguous amendment. Let's take this out of the...

In his most humiliating setback since his failed coup attempt of 2000, Al Gore is seeing his dreams of creating yet another left-wing media outlet fall like chads from the hands of a ballot-twisting Florida Democrat recount activist. Thank Barry Diller, who despite Gore's begging is refusing to lift his veto over the sale of the News World International cable network from Vivendi Universal Entertainment, the New York Post reported today. Apparently the Democrats will have to be satisfied with NPR, PBS, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN ...

HILLARY'S LIVING, ER, LYING-OUT-LOUD HISTORY-- The First Shot Of The 2008 Presidential Campaign by Denis Schulz At last the much-heralded Hillary Clinton blockbuster is on sale at bookstores all across the US. But is it a blockbuster? Hardly! Petunia Pig, in her unpublished reminiscences, had more to say about Porky's infidelities than Hillary has to say about Slick Willie's romps around the Oval Office. Sherlock Holmes spent more time looking through Moriarty's apartment for a piece of dental floss than Hillary spent searching for her lost Whitewater billing records. (Sherlock was a notorious stickler for details -- in her new...

A Nation of Frogs William W. BorstMindszenty Report | January 2003 Just recently, I was discussing the tax system with my attorney who had just completed my mother's estate. When I informed him of the Marxist underpinnings of, not only the so-called "death tax," but also the graduated income tax, he was shocked. He had no idea that Karl Marx had wriuen the major elements in the tax code with which he had been working his entire professional life. All one has to do is read the Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels in 1848. The...

As a reaction to the general apathy and ignorance which abounds as I watch our once great nation slide into the morass, I was inspired to rewrite the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America. the original --- We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. My version ---- We the sheeple of...
