The nation's capital could join several other cities in banning smoking in indoor restaurants and bars by the end of this year. While initially being opposed to a ban, the city's leaders have seen the light and are now putting the public's health ahead of the status quo.
As much as some on the left and in the mainstream media rail against religion looking twice at politics, they sure don't mind mixing the two when it serves their goals, namely the death of the pope.
Mexican President Vicente Fox recently called security walls along the U.S.-Mexican border "discriminatory" and "against freedom." Well that's funny, I never knew that anyone had the right to just walk into America and say, "Here I am, give me a job." Perhaps Fox should talk to our Democrats, since apparently our Constitution is just as much a "living" document to him as it is to them.
My fellow students, I have a confession to make. After a long and ardous journey, I have seen the light and have abandoned the na?vet? of conservatism and have embraced the virtuous cause of liberalism. After a brief adolescent dance on the Right, I have matured in my views, accepted the role of nuance in political affairs, and pledge myself to now work against every policy of our selected, un-elected president, George W. bin-Al Saud.
Some partisans made much ado about last week's inauguration, criticizing everything from the price tag to the schedule. Newspapers have printed articles decrying the cost of galas, saying money could be spent on this program or that entitlement. Others opine that there is really no need for so many days of reverie.
We all knew oil was the central issue to the Iraq war. But who could have guessed that the very people accusing the United States and those evil people at Halliburton of evil motives were the very people playing footsie with Saddam Hussein at the U.N.

Additionally, the fraud seems to have reached the highest levels of the United Nations, including Kofi Annan's son, Kojo. In trying to come up with an appropriate name for this group, I decided to use John Kerry's words: the coalition of the bribed and coerced.
America is nearly two weeks removed from the presidential election, and while most of us have moved on, some Democrats are still fuming. Ignoring John Kerry's appeal to unite behind the president, liberals are now engaged in a scorched earth campaign of a different kind. The target this time is not really President Bush, but those darn "holy roller" Christians who dared to bring Jesus into the voting booth.
During my two-week hiatus from the Eagle's editorial page, my rest was interrupted by some columns that would be laughable if they weren't about such serious issues. Natalie Marechal showed yet again why America cannot afford another Democratic administration, especially at this critical juncture in human events.
"After more than two centuries of American jurisprudence, and millennia of human experience, a few judges and local authorities are presuming to change the most fundamental institution of civilization. Their actions have created confusion on an issue that requires clarity."
With the hard-fought presidential election heading into the final weeks, the candidates are hitting battleground states hard in an all-out effort to woo the voters. While President Bush is polling well nationally, he has still not been able to extract any more support out of the black community, which gave him only 9 percent of their votes in 2000.
The School of International Service will take part in the 34th annual celebration of Earth Day today by sponsoring a forum on the environment, according to SIS professor Paul Wapner, who is also an environmental policy analyst.
Congress is planning to act through a series of laws to reduce the financial burden of loans on college students.
