Why White Will Join Race for Governor

by Rick Casey

He isn't quite ready to say so, but Bill White is running for governor. The argument from switching from a U.S. Senate race to a governor's race - which has been made to him forcefully for months by Democratic political operatives and, more recently, heavy-hitting contributors - was already overwhelming.

 

Houston Mayor White Ready to Run for Governor

by Tom McGregor

Andrea, the wife of Houston mayor Bill White, a Democrat, served the visiting ambassadors sandwiches in the living room of their spacious memorial-area home as several hours of negotiations set the stage for Monday's announcement that White is pondering switching from a campaign for the U.S. senate to bid for the Democratic nomination for governor of Texas.

Jihadist Propaganda

A lawyer for one of the 9/11 Islamofascist conspirators facing trial in a federal civilian court in New York confirmed over the weekend what we suspected.

It Doesn't Feel Like It, but We Are Winning the Fight Against ObamaCare - Updated

by Dan Perrin

You may feel like the political system is broken and the Democrats are not listening to the voters. You feel that way because it is true, the Democrats are not listening. But that does not mean the bill will not die - because it turns out that the two Independent Senators are listening.

 

The Democrats' Health Care Delusion

by Rich Lowry

Saturday night's health-care vote in the Senate was a theatrical fizzle. Sure, Majority Leader Harry Reid made senators sit at their desks for their vote to create a sense of "history" -- but everyone knew that he'd get the 60 votes he needed to start debate on ObamaCare.

 

How Health Care Reform Could Fall Apart

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid eked out 60 votes on a procedural motion to start the health care debate Saturday night - but there's no guarantee he can pass a bill on the merits.

Sparkman's naked body had been found in a remote area of Harlan County, Kentucky, with the word "FED" scrawled on his chest. Sparkman had been hanged. Immediately, TIME and others began to speculate.

statue-of-liberty 
 
Bill Murchison
The perceived necessity of a Manhattan Declaration would have jarred the Pilgrims from prayerful contemplation of game birds and the like at harvest festival time, 1621. What - religious liberty so uncertain a thing as to warrant, five centuries later, a 4,700-word document justifying Christian defense of Christian principles?
