NHL center Colby Cave, who played for the Edmonton Oilers and the Boston Bruins, has died. He was 25. The Edmonton Oilers and Cave's family announced the news on Saturday morning. He passed away days after doctors at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto operated to remove a colloid cyst putting pressure on his brain, according to NHL.com. He had been in a medically induced coma since suffering a brain bleed overnight Monday, his team said.

Is it unthinkable that the Federal Bureau of Investigation would spy on a presidential campaign for political purposes? I can personally attest that it has happened before—during Barry Goldwater’s 1964 campaign. Every poll agreed that President Lyndon B. Johnson would easily win the election against the conservative Sen. Goldwater of Arizona. But LBJ wanted a landslide so he could implement his Great Society vision without resistance and go down in history as one of America’s greatest presidents. For Johnson, extremism in the pursuit of victory was no vice. Thus was born Johnson’s “Anti-Campaign” to smear Goldwater’s candidacy. The operation was...

Seven times, Fox News anchor Jamie Colby tried to get George Zimmerman's brother to criticize the president and his speech about Trayvon Martin. And seven times, he declined to do so. Robert Zimmerman has earned a reputation for his outspoken interviews. After the verdict, for example, he went on CNN and suggested that Martin was looking to get a gun and grow marijuana. During the case, he was a font of unswerving on-air support. So, when Fox spoke with him by phone shortly after the president's speech today, they likely expected something other than what they got. In question after...

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel August 18, 2002 Pg. 5 Despite Son's Pleas, Scientist's Death Remains A Cold War Mystery Given LSD, he died in a fall from hotel room; government later promised to tell all, but didn't By Frederic N. Tulsky, Knight Ridder News Service San Jose, Calif. -- The death in 1953 of a government scientist, Frank Olson, in a fall from a New York hotel window is one of the most notorious cases in CIA history. Only in 1975 did Olson's family learn that the CIA had slipped LSD into his drink, days before his death. President Ford apologized...

Once Brit leaves this guy should replace him on Special Report. Brett just had a great 2 hours of election coverage. Brett appears confident and not overtaken by any liberal bias. I also like Jamie Colby who was on earlier. After an interview with the Minutemen she goes "Thank you for all the work you do. Keep it up"

How about telling us all your age, gender and location. Also, if you want, who you like in the upcoming presidential primary.

Traitors of Record: The Record of the New York TimesBy Fedora “. . .the most untrustworthy paper in the United States. . .” --President Dwight Eisenhower, referring to the New York TimesIntroductionLast week Senator John Cornyn criticized the New York Times for endangering national security with a James Risen story on NSA surveillance timed to coincide with a vote on the Patriot Act and, incidentally, with the release of a book by Risen. A review of the record illustrates that endangering national security through irresponsible leaks is nothing new for the New York Times. Some particularly outrageous examples are worth...

SCHAPELLE Corby's mother last night called on her jailed daughter's self-appointed white knight, Gold Coast mobile phone entrepreneur Ron Bakir, to get out of her daughter's life. Rosleigh Rose said Mr Bakir's "meddling" was partly to blame for her daughter's 20-year sentence for drug-smuggling and was angry at demands for $500,000 in expenses he has claimed to have made. "We didn't ask him to come on board, we didn't know him from a bar of soap, and now it seems like he's trying to profit from Schapelle's misery," Ms Rose said. She spoke on the eve of a Bulletin magazine...

Anti-communist analyst note: [As the presidential candidate John Kerry already twice stated in his "honest" responses during the presidential debates he wants our nuclear research stopped and he wants to send money to Russia to "protect the 'former' Soviet era nuclear weapons" from being 'lost' or 'stolen' by Russian Mafia.

Here is a sample of what you will find: Strategic Investment was critical of the Clinton Administration and exposed Clinton's connection with drugs and murder. Strategic Investment also hired three handwriting experts to investigate a letter of resignation referenced as the Foster suicide note. This document was torn in many pieces, void of fingerprints and found in Fosters brief case after a previous search failed to result in it's discovery. The handwriting experts compared this document with that of other Foster writings and concluded the note to be a poor forgery. According to his family and friends, William Colby was...
