Apparently someone hit him with a tire iron and knocked some sense into him. WASHINGTON - Sen. Arlen Specter backed off a threat to have a Senate subcommittee investigate whether the NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles violated antitrust laws in their handling of Terrell Owens. Specter, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said yesterday that […]

I just wanted to highlight this letter in Wednesday's New York Times: To the Editor: I don't get it. According to his Princeton classmate Andrew P. Napolitano ("From Alito's Past, a Window on Conservatives at Princeton," front page, Nov. 27), Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. "is so intellectually honest that he labored mightily to keep […]

When politicians in Washington decided that it was time to get themselves on the evening news a few months ago, they decided to call a bunch of baseball players before their committee and question them about steroids.

Loony, anti-Semitic and hate-filled "peace" protester Cindy Sheehan's 15-minutes of fame may have finally come to an end. Apparently her anti-war book isn't going to zoom to the top of the charts. You can look for her tripe in the written word form coming soon to a bookstore bargain bin near you.

"Fox News Watch" yesterday had the panelists passing out their "Turkey Awards." Two of the "honorees" were amusing -- not so much because of who the honoree was, but for what the logic behind the nomination was. American University's Jane Hall -- who we last spied demonstrating her ignorance on how the appellate courts worked […]
