Federal did not mean the same thing then. I brought up this e...

Yes - quite dramatically so: in a hail of bullets fired at The Gipper himself by a psychopath wielding a revolver.

That NYT article is just fantastic. A credible and intelligible voice of reason. Thank you Patterson.

Happy B-day bud. Glad you made it home to enjoy it!

I'm not the biggest Bruce fan, but I've always thought Levon owns Atlantic City.... In my own unscientific survey there seems to be a direct correlation between people who are not the biggest Bruce fans and people who think this is the definitive version of "atlantic city." I'm not sure how that's ...

Shelby Foote pointed out that the Confederate foot soldier was in most cases a farm hand who when asked by Federals why he was fighting would answer: "I'm fighting because you're down here."

Hell has frozen over Gunn: Confederate part of MS flag 'needs to be removed' Gunn refers to Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn (R) who has joined with some others in the GOP to call for the removal of the Confederate Battle Flag from the state flag.
