Israel: World Council of Churches Condemns Jewish State's Self-Defense
And of course if you click on this story, you will see it takes you to Aljazeera. They are just eating this up.
In case you don't know, the World Council of Churches really is not what it's name implies at all. It is a liberal front-group for several cultish fringe 'churches.' One thing they have in common, obviously, is a shared hatred of Jews. As you read the Aljazeera piece, notice how they conveniently leave this important piece of information out.

Georgia: Voters Give Raving-Lunatic-McKinney the Boot

Connecticut: Lieberman Will Continue Fight
Let's see if the Million-Dollar Empty Suit can do as well as he did in the general election as he did in the primary, where only a few lunatic-fringe leftists were able to band together and oust Senator Lieberman (for the sin of once in a while being bi-partisan).
