Many illegals entered U.S. with visas - "Nearly half of the 10 million to 12 million illegal aliens now in the United States entered the country legally, but never left."
Truth Is for 'Liberals' - "Here we are, five and a half years into the Bush Administration, and the press corps still hasn't figured out how to handle the White House's primary tactic of media management: lying."

Stephen Hawking touches on God and science - "World-renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking said Thursday that the late Pope John Paul II once told scientists they should not study the beginning of the universe because it was the work of God. ...

While backers say they are mainly targeting child pornography and trying to keep kids away from mature content, legal experts argue that a broad range of less obvious material could be affected as well, including, for example, a news report that details a sordid sex crime, a computer animation that demonstrates condom use, or even an online lingerie catalog."
