Bottled Water Backlash
Bottled water is out, and tap water is in, says the May/June 2008 cover story of E – The Environmental Magazine (now posted at: www.emagazine.com). Call it reverse snob appeal. These days, it’s the tap water enthusiasts, concerned about the environment, who get to act self-righteous.

Hillary Clinton's Iran nuclear option obliterates reason
I think I actually now prefer a president who can't properly pronounce the word "nuclear" over someone who keeps using it like the theme in a "Get Out the Vote" election strategy.
Hillary Clinton said she would "obliterate" Iran if the Persian nation were to use a nuclear weapon against Israel.

Clinton clearly believes she can broaden her...

Federal Government Knows Its Priorities
If there is one thing you can say about the federal government, it’s that when there is something politically sinister that they can sink their teeth into, they will act with lightning speed to correct it.
Like they did recently in Oak Lawn when it came to the “Stop Sign Caper.”
This is a perfect example to rebut those people who insist the federal government ignores the concerns of local communities.
The moment that the federal government learned that Oak Lawn officials were seven months into a campaign to make motorists drive more responsibly, making full stops at stop...

Mission Accomplished: U.S. Pays for Mistakes
By JOE BOYLE
With all this chatter about winning with honor in Iraq and not supporting U.S troops, one resounding question was answered five years ago.
We won. How do I know? The president told us so.
On May 1, 2003, President Bush’s Navy jet landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln 30 miles off the coast of San Diego. Military historians...

Jones Backs Governor To Kill Off Recall Bill
by RICH MILLER
The oldest axiom in government is that it’s always easier to kill something than it is to pass something. And that was proved true yet again last week when Senate President Emil Jones and Gov.
