What might the Democratic Party think of your friends and family who serve in the military today? Well, let’s hear from their 2004 nominee for President – the guy for whom almost half of the country voted – John Kerry. Kerry then told the students that if they were able to navigate the education system, [...]

You might think that if you were a District Attorney who was prosecuting a rape care that had drawn national attention and had you making definitive statements about the case in the international media you would have a pretty good handle on the facts of the case.

The way CNN starts this story, you’d almost think they were surprised: Most Americans do not believe the Bush administration has gone too far in restricting civil liberties as part of the war on terror, a new CNN poll released Thursday suggests.

Second, it appears that CNN has not only noticed that al-Qaeda has a plan for using [...]

Here’s some great Watcher’s Council action, from the September 22nd contest. Since I’ve been remiss (again) in keeping track of all the contests and posting the results quickly, I’m going to post the whole pile of links.
