Mysterious Recipient of World War II-Era Letter Found Back East
By Susanna Baird - AOL NewsLast week we told a tale of two letters, World War II-era epistles that were lost in the mail for nearly seven decades. One letter, sent by a young Army lieutenant from California's Camp Roberts in 1943, arrived last month in Iowa at the home of the deceased writer's 85-year-old brother. The other letter, mailed from an unknown someone in Alabama in 1944, arrived at Camp Roberts last month, addressed to a Miss R.T. Fletcher at the Red Cross Station Hospital, long since closed. Camp Roberts Historical Museum This letter, mailed in 1944, arrived at Camp Roberts, Calif., last month. ...
Utah Anti-Immigrant Group IDs 1,300 Supposed Illegals
By Mara Gay - AOL News(July 14) -- Officials in Utah fear that a group of anti-immigration activists may have taken matters into their own hands. An anonymous group of "concerned citizens" sent a letter this week to newspapers in Utah containing more than 1,300 names of people it says are in the country illegally. It also enclosed a similar letter it had sent to federal and state officials in April. "We are enclosing a list of individuals who we strongly believe are in this country illegally and should be immediately deported," the April 4 letter reads. Though the group says it is not violent, the letter ...
LeBron Broke Ohioans' Hearts, But Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert Broke Their Wallets
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(July 12) -- With LeBron James' announcement last week that he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat, he instantly became among Ohio's most-loathed natives. Cavs owner Dan Gilbert (who's pocketed tens of millions thanks to James) was perhaps the most apoplectic, penning an angry open letter to Cleveland fans, describing James's decision as a "cowardly betrayal." While Jesse Jackson, with predictable hyperbole, has attacked Gilbert for having a "slave-owner mentality," irate Cleveland fans would be better served by focusing some of their outrage at Gilbert. And not for ...
Indiana Congressional Candidate Tim Crawford's Puzzling Letter to Voters
By Robert Schmuhl - Politics DailySOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Before the Indiana primary earlier this month, Republican races for the U.S. Senate and House nominations received most of the media -- and public -- attention. Now, it seems, the campaign on the Democratic side for the 5th Congressional District really deserved eyes-wide-open scrutiny of its own. Tim Crawford, who will be 29 on June 1, took on Dr. Nasser Hanna, a lung cancer specialist at the Indiana University School of Medicine, in the primary, prevailing by 61 percent to 39 percent. With the slogan "Choose the person, not the party!" Crawford trounced Hanna, who had ...
Religious Left to Obama: Man Up and Push Reform
By David Gibson - Politics DailyYesterday it was the Catholic hierarchy telling Congress to shape up and pass a health care reform bill. Today it is a high-profile cohort from the religious left telling President Obama, in effect, to man up and show some leadership. "Your active and public leadership is desperately needed at this moment of doubt on Capitol Hill," the nearly two dozen religious leaders, including eight from Obama's own faith-based task force, write in a letter sent to the White House on Wednesday. "The political twists and turns of the last week do not change the facts on the ground: hundreds of thousands of ...
Roman Polanski: Thanks for the Support
By David Gibson - Politics DailyI don't recall expressing what you would exactly call "support" for the Oscar-winning film director and pedophile-on-the-lam. "Irritation" was the most charitable word I could conjure as I reflected on the sympathy shown for Roman Polanski by some Hollywood types, a few columnists, and the French, following his arrest by Swiss authorities in September on an outstanding warrant stemming from his flight from justice in the 1970s over charges that he drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl in Los Angeles. But now that he has been released from prison and is enjoying, er, suffering under home ...
'The Nation Is Now More Vulnerable'
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailyPolitical Machine has been covering the FISA / warrantless wiretapping issue for some time. Over the weekend, the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence jointly delivered a letter to the House Intelligence Committee on the emergency need to pass a pending bill on FISA (hat tip to Powerline, which has the full letter posted on their site). The letter is a forceful rebuke to the Democratic leadership which has stonewalled the bill (for seemingly political reasons). The letter's substantive analysis begins with a damning denunciation of the Democrats' dangerous tactics: Our ...
Rush Shames Senate Democrats
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailyIt is being called the greatest example of turning lemons to lemonade in recent political history. Rush Limbaugh was sent a letter of condemnation by Senate Democrats. The senators were ostensibly offended by a segment on Mr. Limbaugh's talk show in which he castigated "phony soldiers." Well, Rush put the letter on e-Bay, promising to match the selling price and give the total amount to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. The letter sold for $2.1 million! Rush then asked Senate Democrats - apparently deeply sensitive to the needs of our armed forces - to match the selling price as ...
