I was shopping at Goodwill (don't ask) and found a painting (watercolor) that was very nicely framed and matted. I needed a new painting for my wall but didn't want some cheap print - so I examined it to see if there were 'dots' from the printing process and there were none. I was confident this was a hand-crafted work. As I was examining it a woman approached me - she had been looking at it and wondered whether it was original as well. I told her what I knew and she then informed me there was a second painting...

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt can't seem to outrun controversy. The freshman congresswoman is facing a complaint about the truthfulness of her education and her endorsements. The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes, or COAST, has endorsed Schmidt's opponent in the GOP primary, Bob McEwen. The group claims that some of Schmidt's claimed endorsements are bogus, and instead of two bachelor degrees as stated on various biographical material, she has one. "If it was one incident, I might think there was some merit in letting it go," COAST's Jim Urling said. "But we've got a very...

Atldax’s logo, a skull with a cross turned upside down on its forehead emblazons denim jeans that, because of their trendy tight fit and low price, are all the rage in Stockholm, Sweden.

Just how hard can it be to pick a Governor General? Although not every vice-regal appointment has been an inspired choice (for example, Adrian Clarkson), no previous Prime Minister has so thoroughly messed up what should be a very simple task. There is no way the Prime Minster can legitimately distance himself from the controversy he single-handedly created. Michaëlle Jean was his choice, and her record of separatist support was anything but a secret. Her drinking a toast to Quebec independence was captured on film by her husband, whose support for separatism and FLQ terrorists is more blatant than her...

LifeSiteNews.com Friday August 12, 2005 Governor General Elect's Connections to FLQ Marxist Terrorists Commentary by John Muggeridge TORONTO, August 12, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Since the appointment to the Governor Generalship of Michaelle Jean, a refugee immigrant Haiti and CBC reporter, conservatives in Canada have been wondering what this relative newcomer to public life has to offer a deeply divided country that seems to hover perpetually on the edge of disunion. While Jean's personal accomplishments are seen in English Canada to be insubstantial, on the other side of the French curtain, darker implications are starting to be revealed. An article in...

Editors' preface: A noted historian of the Middle East has said the following about the legacy of scholars who devoted their careers to the study of the region: The giants of the recent past tend to be largely forgotten as soon as they are dead if not before, especially if what they have written isn't what is now considered fashionable or central … They are criticized when they are in error, but their achievements are forgotten.[1] While this is largely true in the English-speaking countries, it is not true in France, where a few French "giants" of Islamic and Arab...
