March Madness is here. No, I am not talking about the NCAA College Basketball Tournament; I am talking about the Democratic Party's strange aversion to open hearings on the Whitewatergate affair. The latest majority party escapade…

the United Nations is at it again. In the United Nations there is a resolution coming to strongly condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Hebron by one crazed soul. That might be understandable. Although, one might ask: When did the United…

it looks like we are beginning to have a real problem here. For months, we have been reading stories surrounding the strange saga of a failed savings and loan in Arkansas. We have been prepared with reports alleging financial shenanigans…
