OVER THE past few weeks, we've seen the evolution of Kerry progress to yet another human life form: a conservative.
THIS WEEK, the fall elections ballot includes a cleanenergy referendum. Despite last week's confusing and partisan rally for the initiative, this measure deserves our support.
"ONLY nine percent of African-Americans had never been subject to or witnessed a variety of negative experiences related to their race." That startling, chilling, eye-popping statistic is not describing blacks across the country, nor is it talking about African-Americans at the end of their lives; rather, only 9 percent of black students at the University have never been subject to or witnessed a variety of negative experiences related to their race while attending college.

DEMOCRATS and Republicans alike are constantly prattling away about the amazing wonders of American-style democratic government, like infatuated school girls with a hunky crush.
WITH A new CNN/USA Today poll showing Bush with an eight point lead among likely voters, it is probably safe to say that the debates are behind us.

Yet another blatant example of media bias: A recent ABC News internal memo by Political Director Mark Halperin referring to the two major presidential candidates has surfaced, stating that ABC doesn't have to "hold both sides 'equally' accountable."
