Michael Moore: "unprecedented foray into Canada's election campaign."

That was the Reuters lead on a story warning Canadian politicians not to bash Washington in their bid to win the January 23 election.

An "unprecedented foray into Canada’s election campaign"?

What about Democrat darling Michael Moore on Canadian soil, telling Canadians that voting Conservative would ruin their country and the release of Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11--both events taking place just days before the last Canadian federal election?

Car dealers importing American cars in Belgium are on the brink of bankruptcy.

Seventeen year old Travis Biehn was arrested last week and charged with making a terrorist threat against his Philadelphia area high school. It is alleged that the Grade 11 student scrawled a threat on a washroom wall of Central Bucks East High School and then brought it to the attention of some teachers. Biehn’s home was searched after other students told the authorities that the teen had told them that he knew how to make a bomb and was planning to use one. The search of his home revealed eight to ten pounds of potassium nitrate, fuses, detonators, and canisters as well as photographs of bomb-making material.
