Back in September of 2006 it was reported that an Arizona monument built to memorialize the horrific events of 9/11 featured many phrases that blamed America for the attacks, yet not a one that blamed the terrorists.

The so-called memorial featured metal rings with phrases etched into them. Phrases like "Must bomb back," "Foreign-born Americans afraid." and "Erroneous U.S. air strike kills 46 Uruzgan civilians," appear on the memorial. There are other phrases that seem to place the onus for the attacks on the US and these phrases have angered Arizonans since the day this abomination ...

From NBC/NJ's Carrie Dann and Adam Aigner-Treworgy

NBC and National Journal have learned that former presidential candidate Fred Thompson is visiting GOP nominee John McCain at McCain's Arizona cabin in Sedona this weekend.

No word of what's been discussed, although a source with knowledge of the visit says that the purpose may be more of a relaxing weekend getaway than a business meeting. (The two men have been longtime personal friends, even during their overlapping presidential bids.)

Now let's make short work of this meaningless bit of news. There is zero chance that McCain will pick Fred ...

Here is the thing, the left does not only worry about their own individual races. A liberal in New York does not ignore a Congressional race in New Hampshire. A socialist in Georgia does not turn in disinterest from a race in Pennsylvania. They concern themselves with Congressional races all across the country.

Operation Artemus, the first major EU-led military effort, was supposed to mark a new era in joint European military operations. The short lived mission was active only a few months ending on Sept. 1 of 2003.

Now the Swedish military is accusing the French of torturing those whom they were supposed to be protecting.

According to the Swedish television news magazine Uppdrag Granskning, Swedish soldiers observed their French compatriots as they tortured a Congolese man in civilian clothes for hours, allegedly beating and strangling him. According to the report, the episode didn't end until the Swedish soldiers ...

As reports of Wright's disgusting, hate filled garbage has made the news earlier last week, many on the extreme left have pointed to the low profile that the McCain story has had as proof that the media is unfair, intimating that the media might even be on McCain's side.

It is true that John Hagee has made bigoted statements against the Catholic Church. It is also utterly true that Jeremiah Wright has made racist, hateful statements against all whites and the history of this country.

But, for the left to imagine that the situations in which ...

There is a growing number of Americans who have the conception that too many judges are weak on crime, that their judgments all too often mollycoddle criminals. It's hard to quibble with such a conception, unfortunately. But we cannot merely cast blame on our judges and move on as if there is no other area of concern. While perhaps heightened, judges often are a reflection of our greater society and what they are reflecting is a sever degradation of our moral center.

I am sure that you all have noticed that John McCain is not the conservative's hero? There has been story after story expounding on how McCain has a lot of cajoling to do before principled conservatives will vote for him in November. He hasn't made those efforts yet, at least if looking at the primaries and caucuses that have occurred since McCain became the "presumptive nominee" — at least according to the media — are concerned. These last few early February events did not make him look much like an obvious winner, either. Even president Bush has ...

In an earlier post, I had mentioned how it was very difficult to get into the Regency Ballroom at the beginning of the McCain speech.  In actuality, even a young McCain staffer stood and engaged in a shouting match with a security professional, explaining that he "would be fired" if he weren't allowed into the room.  I presumed that it was partially because McCain's people managed to stuff a whole lot of supporters into the room and partially because the fire marshal was going to shut the event down if any more people crammed in.  Well - a couple of ...<< MORE >>

Scientists first came across their watery mystery in 1997.

The first clues to solving the riddle came in 1997 when, by coincidence, marine biologists in Virginia were finding young, dead dolphins with ...
