1. Bottom Feeder Politics & Media Oversight
October 04, 2006


(Erie, PA - Oct. 4, 2006) The Congressman Foley Page scandal has embroiled the Republican Party in yet another political battle but, worse, it has plunged the Democrat Party to a new low. With the evidence still being sifted as to what House Speaker Dennis Hastert knew and when he knew it, at least one Democratic Party candidate is already running TV Ads erroneously attacking Mr. Hastert and the entire Republican Party leadership.

September 12, 2006


The conflict in the Middle East was born several thousand years ago in a tent in the desert. The Old Testament, Book of Genesis, lays out the story in great detail. It's compelling reading for students of the Middle East conflict. The story goes that God told Abraham that he would have a son, to name him Isaac, and that Isaac would be the first of a great nation, their number more than all the grains of sand in the desert. At that time, Abraham was 100-years old and Sarai, his wife, was 90-years old. Years passed, Abraham and Sarai grew even older, and Sarai began losing faith in God's pr... (read more)
