Free Republic

By Monica Yant Kinney Inquirer Columnist So I'm freezing my tail off on a bridge spanning the Delaware River yesterday, wondering how Petty's Island became the political equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle. Strange things happen here, and I'm not just talking about the two bald eagles that flew overhead, as if on cue, while Doug Forrester made yet another pin-striped pitch for the antiestablishment tree-hugger vote. He's a Republican, remember? It's not your fault for forgetting. I, too, have had a hard time distinguishing one self-made multizillionaire candidate from the other. Democrat Jon Corzine is everything you expect in a...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Schwarzenegger administration video packaged as a television news story has labor leaders and one lawmaker outraged.The video promotes regulations that give workers the choice of taking a meal break or going home early. "It's a blatant attempt to manipulate the media," Assemblyman Paul Koretz, D-West Hollywood, said yesterday. "If a television station is lazy enough just to take this video (and run it), it completely manipulates and skews the story."He suggested the video violated a ban on spending tax money to produce propaganda and said he would ask the attorney general's office to investigate.But an administration...

LOS ANGELES - Porn king Larry Flynt wants to rule California The Hustler magazine publisher has filed initial paperwork to run in the gubernatorial recall election and says he may spend a large amount of his own money if people take his candidacy seriously. The registered Democrat, civil libertarian and free speech advocate said he'd solve California's budget woes by expanding slot machine gambling. His holdings include several casinos. "California is the most progressive state in the union," said Flynt, 61. "I don't think anyone here will have a problem with a smut peddler as governor." Flynt had not yet...

Ron Smith just scored a football! HRH Kathleen Kennedy Townsend sat for an hour+ interview on WBAL radio with Ron Smith and various Maryland callers. There were many excellent questions raised and some absolutely astounding answers- including a few classic KKT statements. There was even some empty "air" time as Ron Smith sat, I am sure, dumbfounded at some of her responses and times when she was completely stumped. What follows is a rough outline of the questions and the answers paraphrased from my notes. My thanks to the excellent callers and emailers that had that woman squirming in her...

<p>While the slick gubernatorial advertising campaigns battle one another during the nightly newscasts, the rival partisan camps are waging another noisy skirmish about the money that fuels those 30-second spots.</p> <p>The state Republican Party, remembering the $6 million in personal wealth that Democrat Phil Bredesen pumped into his unsuccessful 1994 gubernatorial effort, is calling on him to honor a state law that forbids a candidate from putting more than $250,000 into a campaign.</p>

I hope to see any Freepers and Lurkers in Baltimore Area at tonight's forum
