    WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- The White House is expecting Senate Democrats to be more cooperative when the new session begins in January, but recent statements by their incoming leader suggest otherwise. President George W. Bush made a point of reaching out to members of the body's minority in the days following the elections, but it doesn't appear they are inclined to reach back. On Monday, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) announced the formation of a committee to investigate the Bush administration. Claiming that the Republican majority has failed to properly perform its oversight duties...

    Hope these two aren't overly discouraged. The "brains" behind the Kerry campaign pushes his record to 0 for 8 in Presidential races, pulling ahead of the 'brains" behind the Dean campaign, who is a piddling 0 for 7. Trippi did come off the sidelines (as a MSM "expert"), to guide Jan Schneider to defeat in Flordia's 13th Dist Congressional race, but we can't count that on his record. "Snuff Spittin'" Joe's batting average makes Bob Uecker seem like a Hall of Famer among "former pro" analysts. Maybe we could set up a PAC to keep Shrum and Trippi active in...

    BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - The nation's longest-running school desegregation lawsuit was officially ended after 47 years when a federal judge signed a settlement agreement and dismissed the case. Amid clapping and mutual congratulation, U.S. District Judge James Brady on Thursday ended the suit with a paraphrase from William Faulkner - ``at some point the law ends and people begin.'' Brady then signed the settlement on a desk wheeled onto the steps of the federal courthouse for the occasion. Despite the jubilation, some viewed the settlement as a hollow victory. Middle-class whites have largely abandoned this city's beleaguered, 45,000-student school...

"Each one hopes that if it feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last"Winston Churchill in his radio broadcast, Jan. 20, 1940 describing the fate of appeasers January 18-19, 2003: Historical circumstances change but human nature remains constant. Utopian longings are eternal. After war was declared on us on 9-11, there was a brief shocking realization that there were people who actually wished to kill us, the more the better, and preferrably in as barbaric and indiscriminate a fashion as possible. Time, we were told, was not on our side and realism...
  • Bruised party turns back on old guard (SCURRYING DEMOCRATS ALERT)

    DEMOCRATS are desperately seeking a saviour. His name might be Howard Dean, the little-known governor of Vermont. It could be Warren Beatty, the actor. Some think it could even be a Republican — if John McCain, former scourge of President George W Bush, could be persuaded to change sides.My first impulse on reading this was to laugh - Ivan The only certainty for America’s bruised and demoralised opposition party last week was that a major rethink is required to confront the challenge posed by a hugely popular Republican president. On Thursday the changes will begin with a Democrat vote for...

    Iraq war's impact on intelligence An attack on Iraq could detract from spying on Al Qaeda, some analysts warn By Scott Peterson | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor The capture of Ramzi Binalshibh – a top Al Qaeda logistics and financial operator – is a textbook example of how Washington wants intelligence agencies worldwide to cooperate with the US. Speaking from Camp David over the weekend, President George Bush hailed the joint Pakistan-US operation in Karachi last week as proof of a "relentless" US effort to "one by one ... hunt the killers down." (New Al Qaeda arrests...

    NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Want to send a message to your future descendants that will be read 500 centuries later? A group headed by a French scientist, putting together a satellite-based time capsule, is in India seeking messages that will orbit Earth for 50,000 years and then return to the planet. The non-profit 'KEO' program, costing at least $50 million, is funded by more than two dozen mostly European firms, some of which have interests in the space industry. It has also been elected as UNESCO ( news - web sites)'s 'Project for the 21st century'. "It's a gift from...
