Subterranean Homesick Bluesnew
While most people in New York canvass the city's surface for bars and parks, or look toward the sky or ocean for added entertainment, Solis has a long history of reaching below the earth's crust and noting what goes on beneath that superficial first layer of dirt.

The Low-Carb Soulnew
What would happen if science and religion were to be boiled together in a beaker, then centrifuged, amalgamated, shaken and stirred into a slurry of superstitions, unwarranted presuppositions and outright alchemical quackery?

Former Analyst Recalls Prior Morale Problems at the CIAnew
Then-CIA Director George H.W. Bush asked, "Anyone have anything they want me to talk to 'the Rock' about, since I'm headed to the White House?"
"The Rock" was then-Vice President Nelson Rockefeller. I sat there stunned. The director of the CIA irreverently referred to the vice president of the United States as "The Rock." I decided then and there that I liked this man.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., who impugned the patriotism of triple-amputee veteran Max Cleland two years ago, is now stretching the truth about another Democrat.
Only this time, Chambliss is sugarcoating the record of his new buddy, the Democrat turncoat Sen. Zell Miller.

For Activists, Fort Benning Protest Cures Post-Election Bluesnew
Peace activists could be forgiven for feeling depressed over the past few weeks. The battle for Fallujah has left dozens of Americans and hundreds of Iraqis dead. Another African nation -- in this case, Ivory Coast -- has devolved into chaos and bloodshed.
And then there was George W. Bush's victory three weeks ago.
