    Former U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis predicted the Justice Department inspector general's report on alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses will be "hard-hitting," with multiple recommendations for prosecution. During an interview Monday on Fox News, Lewis said he used to work with Inspector General Michael Horowitz at the Justice Department and called him as "tough as a nail." Lewis added, "He’s tough, he is smart, and I think the report will be a blockbuster." He expects Horowitz's findings to make special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election "look like a sixth grade book report." Asked to...

    NEW ORLEANS — Chaka Khan is more than angry. Instead of getting to rest before her show at the Louisiana Superdome, the R&B star has been booked for two speaking engagements. She’s holed up in her hotel suite, fuming. Outside, her assistants are waiting for her to open the door. Her makeup artist, Derrick Rutledge, is waiting, too. He just flew in to do her after working on Michelle Obama in the East Wing. After New Orleans, he’s scheduled to fly out to do Oprah Winfrey before returning home to Washington. But first Rutledge has to persuade Khan to open...

    Why was a founding member of the FreeRepublic LLC 501(c) board banned by a modmin/admin who is no more than a volunteer sitting at home on a ego trip? How many thousands of archive pages were just fractured due to this foolishness? Not only should a full explanation be given to the public, the admin who approved this measure needs to be publicly named, and publicly defend the position. THis is the most abject failure of the modmin system that John Robinson devised in the history of FR since the rebuild in 1999. If the admin powered individual was anyone...

    BOSTON - Democratic gubernatorial candidate Deval Patrick acknowledged Wednesday he had more contact with a convicted rapist than he had previously told reporters, after a report showed he corresponded with the man in the 1990s and wrote at least two letters to the parole board on his behalf. Patrick, who last week said he had written just one letter more than a decade ago on behalf of convicted rapist Benjamin LaGuer, said he had to correct himself after going back and "doing his homework." The Boston Globe reported Wednesday that Patrick had twice written to the Parole Board, in 1998...

    Gore addresses the audience using a slideshow that includes photographs, charts and graphs of facts related to the problem of global warming. Sayre Theatre Manager Marjorie Ross asked businesses in Sayre, Athens and Waverly for contributions that would allow local students to see the film free of charge.

    NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to visit Norfolk on Monday to speak at a fundraiser for Republican U.S. Rep. Thelma Drake, who is seeking re-election in November. Invitations to the 6 p.m. hotel reception went out the week before Cheney accidentally shot a hunting partner on Feb. 11, Tom Gordy, Drake's chief of staff, said Friday. The event sold out this week, and about 400 people are expected to attend, Gordy said. Guests want to show Cheney "that people in America still care for him," Gordy said.

    Vatican ^ | December 20, 2005 | Christianity and Islam in History
    I will address the topic of Christianity and Islam by limiting myself to a brief presentation of historical facts, without entering into the specifics of religious and theological dialogue. This seems useful to me, because the celebration of the fifth centenary of the birth of Pius V was a bit muted, especially in academic circles. The victor at Lepanto in 1571, this pope who had the courage and the energy to construct an alliance of almost all the Christian kingdoms against the Ottoman empire – which was advancing to threaten Europe and had already established dominion over the Balkans –...

Hinchey came on to promote himself on the platform that he wants to impeach President Bush for allegedly lying to Congress about WMDs. He blathered about this for awhile, and then Hannity broke in: HANNITY: I'm listening to what you're saying. So you're saying when the President told the nation that Saddam's nuclear threats are a real grave danger to America and Saddam's WMDs are a threat to America, you're saying that George W. Bush...
