The pubics voted Lott Minority Whip. I think Lott got a raw deal being ousted. I prefer him to Frist. That doesn't mean I like the guy though.

Posted on 11/15/2006 12:29:45 AM EST by Jim Robinson Over the weekend, authorities arrested 39-year-old Chad Castagana on suspicion of sending threatening letters to media outlets and the homes of several public figures including "Countdown" host Keith Olbermann. On Tuesday, Olbermann spoke to Radar Online senior writer John Cook who has been covering the story. Cook said Castagana appeared to be admirers of conservative pundits Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin and Laura Ingraham. "Ann Coulter and Malkin...sort of present a kind of rhetorical world view where they have their troops out there," Cook said, "and I think he thought of himself as one of their troops and ...

LONDON -- Al-Jazeera Intl. has all but conceded defeat in its effort to gain U.S. distribution in time for its worldwide launch Wednesday. Execs at the nascent English-language offshoot of the Arab broadcaster said Comcast Communications pulled the plug on talks Monday on a deal the net considered essential to gaining a beachhead in the U.S. The Associated Press last week reported Comcast had pulled out of talks but, in fact, negotiations continued, with Comcast offering to roll out the channel regionally. Comcast is the dominant operator in the Detroit area, which has one of the nation's largest Arab-American populations. But AJI execs were holding out for a full rollout across all of ...

Bush's Sellout of America - Put that in your legacy, George W. Bush!

Bush's Sellout of America It is this reporter's opinion that George W. Bush has been rejected by the American people. We have seen through his arrogance, bullheadedness, and condescension. He has turned off the American people and has all but ruined the Republican Party. It becomes more apparent by the moment that Mr. Bush is a one world globalist; that without announcing his intentions, Bush has decided to support creation of a North American Union and he will do it through a process of governmental regulations never having to bring the issue before the American people for a clear referendum or a vote. The Bush group has decided to backdoor creation of a North American Union that ...

The fifth grade student who was recently disciplined for accessing 9/11 websites at school, such as http://Infowars.com , may now be forced to undergo psychiatric evaluation. 10 year-old Mark was not punished, the discipline report shows, for breaking school rules or being "off task," but rather because his principal says the webpages in his cache were "inappropriate." Sites listed in the report include '9/11 Cover-Up', 'Alex Jones' Martial Law' and 'NY 9/11 Truth', among others. According to the Steiner Ranch Elementary Student & Parent Handbook , students are restricted from accessing websites considered to be 'abusive, obscene, sexually oriented, threatening, ...

SAGINAW (WJRT) - (11/07/06)--Saginaw's City Council meeting featured a shocking incident Monday night. A Saginaw Valley State University student was TASERed after he became unruly after being asked to take off his baseball cap. There is a new rule at Saginaw City Council meetings. Men are required to take their hats off. Evidently, they are pretty serious about this new rule. The man was wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers hat. Officer Doug Stacer of the Saginaw Police Department asked him to remove the hat. The man raised his voice and did not remove the hat. As the officer tried to grab the hat and then tried to grab the man, the man with the hat tried to kick Saginaw Police Chief Gerald ...

Lots of Conservative Silver Linings By Chuck Muth ELECTION POST-MORTEM While most Republicans woke up this morning lamenting Armageddon Tuesday, some of us didn't lose any sleep over the election results. Happy at the prospect of two years with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi running Congress? Hardly. But there are a lot of silver linings behind these otherwise dark clouds. * The single, most important lesson here: Democrats didn't win; Republicans lost. And they didn't just lose; they were routed. Voters didn't reward Democrats, they punished Republicans. Badly. This wasn't the country saying it wanted to go further Left; it was the country saying Republicans had already taken the country ...

Just days after his resignation, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is about to face more repercussions for his involvement in the troubled wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. New legal documents, to be filed next week with Germany's top prosecutor, will seek a criminal investigation and prosecution of Rumsfeld, along with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former CIA director George Tenet and other senior U.S. civilian and military officers, for their alleged roles in abuses committed at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison and at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The plaintiffs in the case include 11 Iraqis who were prisoners at Abu Ghraib, as well as Mohammad al-Qahtani, a Saudi ...
Lieberman: Call Me a Democrat

Sen. Joe Lieberman, who won re-election as an independent, has a message for his Senate colleagues in the next Congress: Call me a Democrat. The three-term Connecticut lawmaker defied party leaders when he launched his independent bid after losing to Democrat Ned Lamont in the August primary. During the campaign, he vowed to be an "independent-minded Democrat" if he were re-elected. In Tuesday's election, Lieberman won strong GOP support and given the closely divided Senate, Republicans are expected to court him. So will he count as a Democrat or an independent who caucuses with the majority Democrats? In an e-mail message late Thursday, Lieberman spokesman Dan Gerstein said the ...

Judges have attacked a fire authority which asked for an injured fireman to be denied compensation because he "should not have attempted to save a driver's life". John Pennington was involved in a desperate bid to free a trapped driver following a multiple pile-up on the M25. More stories... • Advertising ban on junk foods to cut childhood obesity • 'Only Blair and his chairman knew of secret Labour loans' During the rescue attempt the experienced firefighter lost part of his left forefinger while using a power ram in a last-ditch effort to save the stricken motorist, who later died. He was awarded compensation, but Surrey fire officials said Mr Pennington should ...

Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment? * 314623 responses Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial. 87% No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching "high crimes and misdemeanors." 4.4% No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching. 7.3% I don't know. 1.8%

Truckers are being called on to boycott a decision by Indiana to lease a highway to foreign investment groups. Todd Spencer, executive vice president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, OOIDA, has called for truckers to bypass the Indiana Toll Road, which has been leased to a consortium composed of Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transport, S.A., a Spanish investment consortium with ties to Juan Carlos and the ruling family of Spain, and the Australian investment firm Macquarie Infrastructure Group. In an article on the OOIDA website, Spencer argues, "This is a way to send the message that as more and more roads are converted to toll roads the secondary ...

CBS) Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Ed Bradley died Thursday at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan of complications from leukemia. Bradley joined the staff of the venerable news magazine 26 years ago. His consummate skills as a broadcast journalist and his distinctive body of work were recognized with numerous awards, including 19 Emmys, the latest for a segment that reported the reopening of the 50-year-old racial murder case of Emmett Till. Bradley grew up in a tough section of Philadelphia, was wounded while covering the Vietnam War and later became the first black White House correspondent for CBS News. He was a man who broke down racial barriers - and became a role model for young ...

NEW YORK — Wall Street's three-day winning streak came to an end Thursday as investors, taking a second look at Tuesday's election results, questioned whether a Democratic Congress would be friendly to business. The losing session, which was also influenced by rising oil prices and a drop in consumer confidence, was to be expected after three days of gains that included a new closing high Wednesday for the Dow Jones industrials. Investors had driven stocks broadly higher this week on optimism that Democrats taking control of Congress would cause political gridlock that would be favorable to businesses. But after more time to mull over the election, investors are starting to become ...
Republicans Lost Because Democrats Won--or Vice Versa?

In terms of national tragedies, the bloodletting visited upon the GOP on November 7 is not all that significant. Really--that is the honest-to-goodness truth. For instance, December 7, 1941, and September 11, 2001, are two dates that immediately come to mind as more problematic for America and Americans. Unfortunately, November 7, 2006 is a near third. Pundits on both sides of the ideological aisle are weaving complex and contradictory explanations for the GOP collapse or Democrat wave, depending which ax one seeks to gore. For example, some claim that the Republicans were too timid on illegal immigration. Others say that “enforcement first” lead to the GOP meltdown. Rush ...

Markets reflect election results Medical, defense companies decline By Brad Foss The Associated Press WASHINGTON - By handing Democrats control of the House, voters likely set in motion legislative efforts to lower the price of pharmaceuticals and rein in military spending. But with the two parties stalemated in the Senate, where it usually takes 60 votes to pass major legislation, companies such as Merck & Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. may find themselves beset more by unwelcome rhetoric in Congress than any hurtful changes in law. To be sure, few major changes in corporate America are expected to result from Democrat-led initiatives over the next two years - with the exception, ...
BREAKING Democrats Take Control of the Senate

Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans Wednesday with an upset victory in Virginia, giving the party complete domination of Capitol Hill for the first time since 1994. Jim Webb's squeaker win over incumbent Sen. George Allen gave Democrats their 51st seat in the Senate, an astonishing turnabout at the hands of voters unhappy with Republican scandal and unabated violence in Iraq. Allen was the sixth Republican incumbent senator defeated in Tuesday's elections. The Senate had teetered at 50 Democrats, 49 Republicans for most of Wednesday, with Virginia hanging in the balance. Webb's victory ended Republican hopes of eking out a 50-50 split, with Vice President Dick Cheney ...

Quietly though, the White House may be preparing the ground for a shift. The cue could be the upcoming recommendations from the bipartisan Iraq Study Group headed by the former secretary of state James Baker. But a Democrat capture of the House and/or Senate might accelerate that process. He will also have to co-operate on the domestic front, if Congress is to take action on issues like immigration, education and the economy. One certainty is that Democratic controlled committees would rigorously oversee and investigate the administration a constitutional duty of Congress largely neglected by the previous Republican majority in the House. But Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader in ...

RALEIGH — Voters will notice something interesting when they go to the polls today. There will be just two political parties on the ballot, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. We’ve gotten used to having at least one “third party” on the ballot in North Carolina. While not fielding candidates for every position on the ballot, the Libertarian Party has been a mainstay on the North Carolina ballot for a number of election cycles, along with the two major parties. From time to time, we’ve also seen other minor parties when we go to vote — but not this year. That’s because none of the other parties have been able to obtain enough votes on a ...

Liberals Unfit To Serve In a Time of War Cinnamon Stillwell With the midterm elections only a day away, Americans are on the cusp of a historic turning point. The country can either continue forward under the leadership of the Republican Party or take the Democratic Party at its word and vote for change. While obvious differences exist between the two parties in terms of social and economic issues, the pivotal issue of this election is the war on Islamic terrorism. It is the great struggle of our lifetime and we owe it to future generations to choose wisely the course America takes in the years to come. Since 9/11, the Republican Party, under the leadership of the Bush administration, ...
