The Wall Street Journal pulled this editorial out of their archives regarding the Clinton administration deal with North Korea back in 1993. U.S. officials are saying that if only the North will budge on inspections, the U.S. and its allies will start treating it like any other country. Investment would flow and the U.S. would […]
I saw this strip here and nearly fell out of my chair. It's funny because it's been my constant refrain for more than a year.
The New York Times is reporting that the North Koreans have told U.S. officials that they have a nuclear weapon. Confronted by new American intelligence, North Korea has admitted that it has been conducting a major clandestine nuclear-weapons development program for the past several years, the Bush administration said tonight. Officials added that North Korea […]

Especially this one from the Los Angeles Times. Re where Davis receives political contributions: What difference does it make where a prostitute conducts business; the intent is the same anywhere. Ed Pollack Apple Valley That one's funny. This one is simply too true -- and representative of how a great number of Californians feel. So, […]
So sayeth the Union-Tribune's James Goldsborough in his Monday column. While making some well-considered points regarding the recent 10-day siege of Arafat's compound by Israeli forces, Goldsborough systematically ignores the plight of Israeli civilians who face suicide bomb attacks on an almost-daily basis.
