The two men began pushing and shoving before throwing punches. The guard, who Bryson said identified himself as Christopher Marlowe, then pulled out a .40 ...

Congressional Hopeful Blames Troubles On The Devil SALT LAKE CITY Republican congressional hopeful John Jacob believes the devil is impeding his efforts to unseat five-term Representative Chris Cannon. He says there's another force that wants to keep him from going to Washington and the devil is what it is. Jacob says that since he decided to run for Congress, Satan has disrupted his business deals, preventing him from putting as much money into the race as he had hoped. Jacob said during a Wednesday immigration event that the devil was working against him, then reiterated his belief yesterday in a meeting with The Salt Lake Tribune editorial board. He says there's been a lot of ...

On last year’s album, “Chicago Wind,” you recorded a song called "Rebuild America First" in which you sing, “Let’s get out of Iraq, and get back on track." Why do you think you were basically given a pass when the Dixie Chicks were raked over the coals for their comparatively tame criticism of the president and the war? I don’t really understand it. I don’t know what’s new about girls not liking war, first of all. And second of all, they have a right to say what they want to. Third, I’m an American, and I’ll back everything they say. I’m not for the war in Iraq because I don’t believe they’ve explained why ...

Attorney General Gonzales: Indict the New York Times June 24th, 2006 Within days of the September 11th attacks, the head of Reuters’ worldwide news division, explaining the agency’s refusal to use the word “terrorist,” made the famous fatuous remark that “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.” Reuters, it seemed, wouldn’t be taking sides in America’s war on Islamic jihad, because as journalists, Reuters didn’t believe the American people and our allies are any “better” than our putrid enemies. Such is the repulsive state of the “moral equivalence” mongers in what passes for news journalism, even ...

D.C. Wants HIV Tests for All Ages 18-24 The D.C. government wants all residents between 14 and 84 to be tested for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In a massive campaign starting next week, city officials will urge 400,000 men, women and teens to take an oral swab test that delivers results in 20 minutes. They say the rapid test should become as common a part of any medical exam as blood-pressure monitoring or a cholesterol check. Organizers of the campaign hope the results will influence sexual behavior and motivate people with positive results to seek treatment.

Springsteen Mocks Ann Coulter, TV Pundits By E&P Staff Published: June 23, 2006 1:00 PM ET NEW YORK Appearing on CNN today to promote his current tour and album of Pete Seeger songs, rocker Bruce Springsteen took note of the current controversy surrounding Ann Coulter in responding to a question about whether musicians should speak out on politics. Springsteen was asked by Soledad O'Brien if getting flak about his political views, such as backing John Kerry in 2004, made him wonder if musicians should try so hard to be taken seriously on topical issues. "They should let Ann Coulter do it instead?" he mused, with a chuckle. Then he said, "You can turn on the idiots ...

A 21-year-old homeless woman was charged Wednesday with setting a fire in the gay and lesbian section of a Chicago Public Library branch in the Lake View neighborhood, but officials insist the incident was not a hate crime. Erica Graham was charged with one count of attempted aggravated arson, according to the Cook County state's attorney's office. She was expected in court today, when a possible motive may be revealed. The fire last week at the John M. Merlo library branch damaged 90 books in the gay and lesbian section and 10 books in the African-American section.

Study Says Earth's Temp at 400-Year High WASHINGTON The Earth is the hottest it has been in at least 400 years, probably even longer. The National Academy of Sciences, reaching that conclusion in a broad review of scientific work requested by Congress, reported Thursday that the "recent warmth is unprecedented for at least the last 400 years and potentially the last several millennia." A panel of top climate scientists told lawmakers that the Earth is running a fever and that "human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming." Their 155-page report said average global surface temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere rose about 1 degree during the 20th ...

Newbury Township -- Mamas who let their babies grow up to be cowboys have one less thing to worry about. Cowboy churches are galloping across the nation, providing a spiritual home in stables, riding arenas and other open spaces where some country folk like to congregate. And not just in Texas and Oklahoma. Inside Twin Pines Stables last Tuesday, horses whinnied in the side pews, sparrows swooped in and out of the rafters, and the opening hymn instructed believers to "Saddle up your horses. We've got a trail to blaze. Through . . . God's amazing grace." Why a cowboy church? Why not, say the founders of Life Brand Cowboy Church. "There are 60,000 horses in Northeast ...

Sen. Rick Santorum's approval rating has skidded to a four-year low, the latest sign of distress for the outspoken conservative and ally of President Bush, according to a poll released Wednesday. The lead for Santorum's Democratic opponent, state Treasurer Bob Casey, has stretched to 18 percentage points since early May. Casey leads Santorum by 52 percent to 34 percent - the biggest margin since October, when the numbers were the same, according to the Quinnipiac University poll. Only 38 percent of respondents said they approved of the way Santorum, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, is handling his job. Forty-five percent said they disapproved and 16 percent did not express an ...

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- The U.S. military recovered the bodies Tuesday of two missing soldiers from an area it said was rigged with explosives. An Iraqi official said the Americans were tortured and killed in a "barbaric" way. An insurgent group claimed the new leader of al-Qaida in Iraq executed the men personally, but it offered no evidence. The U.S. military did not confirm whether the soldiers died from wounds suffered in an attack Friday or were kidnapped and later killed. The discovery of the bodies dealt a new setback to U.S. efforts to seize the momentum against al-Qaida in Iraq after killing its leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in a June 7 airstrike.

Bush: To raise $23 million for GOP House and Senate campaigns at Monday funder. Country music star Gretchen Wilson to sing at GOP dinner. President Bush headlines a big cattle call of a fundraiser....but it will raise, to paraphrase the president, ``a heck of a lot'' of money. I've been to these events before and will try to cover this evening. To raise this kind of money, the GOP committees booked the D.C. convention center for a massive dinner party. Hardly intimate, but gives the out-of-towners bragging rights about having dinner with the president. Almost every GOP member of Congress attends this dinner, heavily populated by corporate lobbyists. http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2006/0 ...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Former Enron Corp. President Jeffrey Skilling says he contemplated suicide after his company crumbled and authorities began to ratchet up legal pressure on him. "I've come to the conclusion that life is better than the alternative, which was not a conclusion that was real clear to me for a period of time," Skilling told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published in Saturday editions. Skilling, 52, said he sought psychiatric help but was only able to emerge from a deep, two-year malaise after his 2004 indictment in which he was charged with conspiracy, fraud and insider trading, among other counts. "The indictment, in a lot of ways, that was the ...

Why Coulter's not a conservative My conservative friends don't understand when I distance myself from the label. They don't understand why I am so revolted when I am characterized as a "conservative." If you want to see me get steamed – just call me a conservative, or call me "Joe." This is not to say I don't like conservatives. In fact, if Ann Coulter defined conservatism, I might rethink my revulsion. And I'll tell you why. I'll let you in on a little secret.

June 16 (Bloomberg) -- Ford Motor Co., the second-largest U.S. automaker, will upgrade three Mexican factories over the next several years to expand operations in that country. Auto assembly plants in Cuautitlan and Hermosillo and an engine plant in Chihuahua will get the upgrades, Ford said on its Web site, without giving any estimates of cost or specific timing. The automaker said it hasn't yet decided where to locate a new, low-cost North American auto plant. Investing in Mexico may rankle union members in the U.S. Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford plans to cut 30,000 jobs in its home market and close 14 North American factories by 2012 as it loses U.S. sales and market share.

Black Daily Shocks Many With Front-Page 'Nigger' Headline By Mark Fitzgerald Published: June 08, 2006 9:05 PM ET CHICAGO When Roland S. Martin took over as executive editor of the famous black-oriented daily Chicago Defender, the first thing he did was initiate a "50-foot rule" for the tabloid's front page. Graphics and headlines had to be bold enough to grab the attention of a passerby from 50 feet. He certainly accomplished that Thursday, when the newspaper ran this headline and subhead: "TAKE A STAND. Black America, isn't it about time we made up our mind about the word nigger?" At the end of a long workday, Martin said in an interview he thought the headline ...
