Watching democrat Jim McDermott hold forth from Iraq on how President Bush is misleading the American people made me wonder how such a smart person can do such a dumb thing. The trio of Democratic House members who traveled to Iraq–and then, while still on enemy soil, gave numerous interviews critical of U.S. foreign policy–are learned people with significant life experience. There’s not a lawyer among them. McDermott is a psychiatrist, Michigan’s David Bonior is a former seminarian and California’s Mike Thompson is a former college professor....

He is melding the war in Iraq with the war to win tax relief on stock dividends. It is a shameless exploitation of a military victory with the goal of intimidating Republican holdouts on Capitol Hill. Just as Bush crushed Democrats in last year’s congressional elections with appeals to patriotism, he is now turning the big guns on his own party. Two moderate Republican senators, Ohio’s George Voinovich and Maine’s Olympia Snowe, are under intense pressure to renege on their pledge to hold Bush’s tax cut at $350 billion....

ABSURD AS IT seems, the Iraqi president has beaten Bush at the game of diplomacy. With the exception of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bush stands alone in his determination to use pre-emptive military force against Iraq. There is so much sentiment against Bush’s proposed action that a Senate Democratic aide mused that it would be “easier for Saddam to get a U.N. resolution authorizing arms inspectors to check U....

“There is an urgent need for the international community to put aside politically motivated aspirations and join efforts to help the Syrians rebuild their country heavily damaged by the war,” the Russian embassy in Washington told Newsweek. “There is always room for cooperation between Russia and the U.S. in Syria.” To do so would necessitate overcoming a rivalry that dates back to the Cold War and remains rife with bad blood over opposing interests and dueling accusations of wrongdoing at home and across the globe....

Using sunscreen in a tanning bed will prevent the bronzing of your skin that you are after. In addition, sunscreen is only effective at blocking natural ultraviolet (UV) rays and not the artificial ones emitted by tanning bed bulbs, which are sometimes stronger (and more dangerous) than the sun. This article reviews the risks of indoor tanning, including skin cancer and premature aging, the base tan myth, and proven sun protection strategies....

Actually, it's three bonuses. The games are so good this week, we expanded from 10 games to 13. The big one: No. 1 Alabama at No. 4 Auburn. Who would of thought we'd even be entertaining the notion that the Tigers could upset the Crimson Tide when the season started? Auburn was coming off a 3-9 season, but first-year head coach Gus Malzahn has the Tigers 10-1 and believing in miracles....

However, Bitcoin still allows for the possibility of financial gain. There are various methods for doing this, including lending the coin and keeping it. The fact that the profits on this asset are not guaranteed due to its extremely volatile nature is one of its biggest drawbacks.

Canada asserted its game plan and absorbed pressure brilliantly, with solid defending and dizzying counterattacks. The USMNT had no answer for Canada’s structure, and when the home side broke away on counters, the U.S. defenders were ill-prepared for the speed and precision. Despite holding only 36 percent possession, which is exactly how head coach John Herdman wanted it, Canada still created four shots on target, besting the three produced by the United States....

On Wednesday, Suzy Kies, who served as the co-chair for the Indigenous People’s Commission of the Liberal Party of Canada resigned from her position after questions regarding her indigenous origins arose from a 2019 book-burning project where Kies was involved.

The Canadian Open has struggled to draw strong fields in the past, mostly due to its slot in the schedule directly after The Open. However, this year we see a solid field that includes Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Tony Finau, Tommy Fleetwood, Sergio Garcia, and Bubba Watson. The mid-range in daily fantasy golf contests is also loaded with some solid talent with Matt Kuchar, Joaquin Niemann, Charley Hoffman, and Kevin Kisner all opting to head to Glen Abby....

A critical border crossing for imports, protesters have been blocking the passage for about a week, although an agreement was reportedly reached this week and truckers reportedly have started leaving the area. Klassen, a trucker for close to 20 years, told Fortune he brought two campers and a semi-trailer to the Emerson blockade....

And now they’ll have to wait a few more. After the Canadiens saw their three-goal lead crumble Thursday night, they capitalized on a bad pass by Toronto’s Alex Galchenyuk to win Game 5 in overtime 4-3 and force a Game 6. “We came here to win this game and I thought overall our game was pretty solid and we got rewarded tonight,” said winning netminder Carey Price. Montreal entered having only mustered four goals total in the first four games....

In 1933, Walt and his crew released one of their “Silly Symphonies,” an irresistible eight minutes retelling the old tale of The Three Little Pigs who follow contrasting survival strategies in coping with the salivating menace of the Big Bad Wolf. After the rapacious marauder blows over the carelessly constructed homes of straw and sticks, he finds himself foiled (spoiler alert!) by “Practical Pig” and his formidable house of bricks, which also shelters his two surviving porcine pals....
