POWs Against Kerry

Filed under John Kerry

On the heels of the Swiftvets is Stolen Honor a new documentary on what former Vietnam POWs think of John Kerry. The clips are powerful. These men give us a glimpse of why they oppose Kerry.

Olympic Notes

Filed under Sports
Comments Off

The passions surrounding Paul Hamm’s gold medal have died down. After a few days of heated calls for Hamm to give up his medal to a South Korean that didn’t win it, the ideas of giving up a medal or awarding a second gold have vanished. Good. Now Paul Hamm can start savoring his victory […]

Leave the Golden Boy Alone

Filed under Sports

Michael Hunt offers some sense about Paul Hamm’s gold medal:
Share the gold? It shouldn’t even be on the table, and the USOC should be ashamed for even thinking about it. This isn’t kiddie gymnastics, where everyone gets a prize for showing up. Credit the South Koreans for sticking up for their guy, but this isn’t […]
