The 7 Blacks arrested in Florida had no money, no explosives, no weapons, no contacts and no real plan. They bragged to their neighbors about what they would "like to do". This is Bush's latest November ploy. I'm not reporting propaganda.

If Brown coach this year, Pistons are NBA champs, not Heat. Isiah superb at selecting talent. If he had been here, Knicks wouldn't have passed on Ron Artest & Amare Stoudemire. Can he coach these Knicks better than Brown? Can hardly do worse.

French Revolution & La Guillotine: the few, who take advantage of the many, had their heads forcibly removed from their bodies. The French almost got it right. But for one brief shining moment in history, it was glorious! Vive les Français!
