"In New Zealand, Mrs. Clinton revealed, concerning the distinctive spelling of her first name, that she had been named after Sir Edmund Hillary, conqueror of Everest.

RABAT, Morocco (AP) -- Terrorists exploded four bombs in the coastal city of Casablanca late Friday, killing at least 24 people and damaging the Belgian consulate, a Jewish center and a Spanish restaurant, officials said. Sixty people were wounded. More Al Qaeda. Me thinks it's a swan song of international terrorism. They're sticking to Muslim countries because it's too hot here for them. And

The Origin of Species (full title On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life) by British naturalist Charles Darwin is one of the hallmark works of biology.

The French colonial general Henri Gouraud created Lebanon from part of Syria for the benefit of the Christian Maronites whose fractional majority was afterwards overwhelmed by the country's Muslim communities.

Lesson 1:Of course, it's a bit misleading to talk of the "European street."

This prime minister, after a period of painful forbearance under intolerable provocation, is now decisively fulfilling the mandate Israelis overwhelmingly gave him: to turn back the tide of terror. President Bush is resisting powerful pressure from many in the worldwide opinion mafia and the oil industry to "engage" and undermine him. Though demonized by extremist Arab dictators and despised by

A national survey by Rutgers' Management Education Center of 4,500 high school students found that 75 percent of them engage in serious cheating. More than half have plagiarized work they found on the Internet...Perhaps most disturbing, many of them don't see anything wrong with I refuse to offer bromides or assign blame to the Clintons or other facile liberal targets.

sounds off at the lack of tolerance for a Jewish traitor's family. In "Hatred runs rampant in the land of the free", he excorciates the folks who have harrassed the family of traitor Adam Shapiro. Of course, in true communist tradition, he describes this terrorist protector as a peace activist. I don't approve of people harrassing his family, the same way I despise random violence against mosques

The nerve of this scum. He tries to suck up to the US, belatedly condoning our war against the scum in Afgahnistan. I am sympathetic to the suffering of the American people and the anger of the American leadership over terrorist attacks on the United States.....I am saddened and feel pain for what happened to thousands of innocent people in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. This is after his

OK, I admit I didn't know that 6,000 kids ended up in the hospital each year from overloaded backpacks. But do I care? Presumably if my child went off to school looking like he was doing the limbo, I'd pull some of the books out. Presumably I'd know to do this even without National Backpack Safety Month. Similarly, I would know better than to set my house on fire, blow my car up, or feed my

There have been 2 synagogue fires and some shots fired, thank God no one was hurt, yet! Of course, Muslims living in France are behind it. Muslim leaders helped with their usual backhanded denouncement: The grand mufti of Marseille, Soheib Bencheikh, condemned "these barbarous acts," adding: "Our natural and spontaneous solidarity with the Palestinian people, who submit to daily murders and

Victor D. Hanson of NRO unloads on all the whiners who tout civilian casualties as a marker of morality: Palestinians appeal to the American public on grounds that three or four times as many of their own citizens have died as Israelis. The crazy logic is that in war the side that suffers the most casualties is either in the right or at least should be the winner. Some Americans nursed on the

This includes the left and right. Concerning the latest wave of Palestinian/Muslim terrorism and Israelis belated response to the terror master Arafat, every piece of ignorant trash called in to express their sympathy with the murderous garbage who provoked the Jewish reaction to begin with. As I remember in Fall of 2000, Barak was living up to his end of the Oslo bargain, doing everything he
