New EU President Klaus, Globaloney Critic, Is a 'Figurehead'; Appellat

To say that President Vaclav Klaus of the Czech Republic is not liked by Euro-elitists is a grand understatement. European media has generally bent over backwards to give European Union politicians and bureaucrats in Brussels respect and the benefit of the doubt.

'Today' Replaces Banned/Bumped Ann Coulter with Rachel Maddow

Presumably a last minute replacement for the possibly NBC banned Ann Coulter, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow appeared on Tuesday's "Today" show to drop invective about the Bush administration's "torture" policies.
