Cheney ‘The Chicken-Hearted’
Today, the biggest boost for ex-vice president
Richard Cheney would be an attack on America from any terrorist group, but most
especially if it were an attack mounted by Muslim extremists. Mr. Cheney is
relentless in his chilling warnings of how near is the danger, and he has dared
to say President Barack Obama is making America vulnerable by stopping the
torture of prisoners.
Police, Fox News Join Forces
To Celebrate Vigilante Actions
By William
Finucane
Get him! That lowlife raped
a 5th grade girl. So grab him. Beat him so he cannot escape.
Yes, yes some of the normal
rules will have to be set aside. But catching this criminal is paramount. This
all happened in Philadelphia, PA in the beginning of June; someone raped the
girl. This was a senseless, brutal attack. She needed surgery. This crime should
merit full prosecution. Mayor Michael Nutter denounced the act, reminded the
citizens that the girl was just 11 years old, and offered the city’s help in
helping the girl recover.
So grateful was the family
that it hosted a barbecue for the teens that caught the man. This episode gained
notoriety and won high praise from Philadelphia’s Fox 29 News. Words of praise
poured from everyone involved.
“Save The Globe!” It sounds like an
environmental battle cry, but in New England it is more of a plea, perhaps a
collective hope that the great, progressive regional paper, The Boston Globe,
with its consistent editorial progressiveness and sometimes open-mindedness will
not simply be cast aside, lost in the economic tides like a grand battleship of
old run aground in a hurricane of events.
But why should the average man or woman care?
The Globe is, after all, a huge enterprise that for more than a century gained
in power, influence and revenue to such a degree that it did more than dwarf all
other New England media, it became something of a power unto itself, enriching
its historic owners, the Taylor family, empowering its business and advertising
executives through the dynamic reach of its editorial content, and ironically
even gracing its editors, and sometimes also its columnists and reporters, with
defacto power based on their own collective work.
Global Warming? Where?
There is no such thing as ‘Global
Warming,’ says Pres. George Bush and his associates, but as seems to happen
frequently, difficult facts continue to emerge contradicting the self-serving
statements.
In determining the warmest winters since
the weather service began keeping track, there have been five record holding
years. One might think that those years cover a century or more and indicate
cyclical abnormalities. But that would be optimistic.
The five warmest winters on record are as
follows: 1991-1992, 1997-1998, 1998-1999, 1999-2000, and 2005-2006.
And the winner was 1999-2000, at an
average of 36.95 degrees.
It appears to us that the evidence is
clear; ‘Houston, we have a problem.’

Publisher’s Note: The Bradley Report
has for some time now individually dated all of its stories, commentaries and
editorials; however, some archived stories, particularly those that are older,
are not dated and this has proven confusing for some readers, given that the
current date is always displayed on our front page. We apologize for any such
confusion and would hope that the context of the earlier stories will help to
indicate the publishing dates.
