Poor Katie
by L. Neil Smith
The Drudge Report headline this morning read: "S.O.S. COURIC: CBS
'EVENING NEWS' CONTINUES FADE IN BIG CITIES. . ." and went on to say
that the first evening network news to be anchored by a woman was
continuing to lose a ratings battle against ABC by two to one in New
York City, two to one in Los Angeles, and nearly three to one in
Chicago.

War Declared by Congress on the People
by Andrew G. Eggleston Sr.
I'm frightened and I believe that I'm frightened with
good reason. Congress nearly passed a grassroots speech-control act, saying
effectively that anyone who communicates in bulk with over 500 people can
be fined and jailed. Section 220 was voted down, however, this would have
been a declaration of war by the Congress upon the people of the United States.

Why She Cried Rape At Duke
by Scott Kauzlarich
Mike Nifong has dropped the rape charges against the
Duke lacrosse players and excused himself from the case. 60 Minutes
shoveled more dirt on the prosecution's case this week by turning its
cameras on Nifong's attempt to conceal DNA evidence. With Nifong exposed
and humiliated in front of a national audience, it would be easy to say
that the case is now all but over.

Things Could Get Ugly
by Lady Liberty
So, tell me: Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?
My guess is that some of you did, and some of you didn't. I'm willing to
bet that every last one of you, though, got something that you can't, under
any circumstances whatsoever, imagine anybody wanting at all. Me? Among
other more welcome gifts, I got some costume jewelry that was...well,
"hideous" might not be too strong a word. (Don't worry, I'm not so
ungrateful as to say such a thing about any gift I got from somebody who
actually owns a computer and who might conceivably see this particular
column. And those of you who do see it will kindly not say anything, right?)

This Is Not America
(What the Hollis Wayne Fincher Case Means to You)
by Doug Newman
Does the Bill of Rights still serve as a guarantee of
God-given rights against arbitrary abuses of government power? Or is it
just a 215-year-old piece of paper that can be disregarded at the whim
the authorities?

Why I Support Ed Brown
by Kat Kanning
Ed and Elaine Brown were convicted Thursday on various
tax evasion charges. Why would someone committed to
the nonviolent approach support Ed Brown, who says he
will shoot federales who come to arrest him? A man
willing to stand up for what is right is a rare and
beautiful thing these days. I don't want that man to
stand alone. So, I've been out there in the frigid
cold to say to the government, "Don't come kill this
man and steal his property! Just leave the Browns
alone." While I don't agree with shooting people,
it's understandable that Ed Brown wants to defend
himself, his family and his property. It is without a
doubt the government who is the aggressor here, not Ed
Brown.

Man in Gray: A Tribute to the Life of Robert E. Lee
by Robert F. Hawes Jr.
The British historian Lord Acton once said, "Great men
are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not
authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of
corruption by authority." As a student of history myself, I am compelled
to agree with that observation. Unfortunately, the majority of names that
occur to me when I think of history's most notable figures are, to some
degree or another, associated with tyranny and oppression.

Rabbit People Among Us
by L. Neil Smith
As a somewhat opinionated individual, I get a lot of e-mail (and
phone calls and snail mail) from readers trying to take me to task for
one reason or another, usually for identifying the inevitable consequences
they don't want to hear about, of ideas and actions they themselves
advocate.

Publisher's Note: The "Whether" Channel
by L. Neil Smith
It isn't often that I refer anyone to WorldNetDaily, but in this
case, it's absolutely vital that you take a look at one article in
particular—I got the link from the Drudge Report—and act on it
as quickly and forcefully as possible.
