opportunity to appoint two more conservatives to the court, President 
Bush chose to renominate stealth candidate John Roberts as chief 
justice. Now he has hinted that he may nominate Attorney General 
Gonzalez for the seat to be vacated by Justice O'Connor. Gonzalez has

Kids And Loaded Firearms: A report in Pediatrics bemoans the large 
number of loaded, unlocked firearms in American homes, citing the 
highest rates in rural states. While I have concerns about leaving  
firearms accessible to burglars, the cited data fails to indicate
