When America was forming, when the media was still delivered by horse and the printed word was a relatively new enterprise in our fledgling country, the place to get your news was the tavern. “ Despite the efforts of the clergy it was the tavern that made possible the widest dissemination of information. … Tavern owners subscribed to foreign and, later, domestic newspapers and posted them for customers to read. Patrons not only brought in news but carried away intelligence to share with others.” (Sloan, Media in America p.37) I realize it is a somewhat romantic notion to imagine our founding fathers in spirited debate with a pint in hand, but it may not be far from the truth. Taverns offered a unique opportunity for public discourse at a time when information was valuable, and new ideas were necessary. In 2004, taverns are no longer the forerunner in terms of current events, and the generic pate of the daily newspaper gives readers little to discuss over their lattes. Add to that a pub...

The suspects were either citizens or resident...

Dear J, These are days of decision in the War on Terror. Today, President Bush traveled to Iraq to meet with the new democratically-elected government and deliver a simple message from the American people: "We stand with you." The progress in Iraq would have seemed impossible just a short time ago. A permanent government elected by the Iraqi people. Iraqi forces increasingly taking the lead in providing for the safety and security of their country. And just last week, the removal of Iraq's most dangerous terrorist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Now is the time to stand together to ensure that our job gets done. Sign our message of support for the mission in Iraq - and reject efforts by some Democrats who want to cut and run at the worst possible time. The way forward in Iraq won't be easy. We can still expect to see hard days, with terrorists lashing out violently. President Bush understands that victory will come if we stand strong, renew our resolve, and never give in to th...
