(CNN) -- A powerful blizzard roared out of the southwestern United States
early Monday, threatening residents from Arizona to Kansas with a foot or
more of snow.
Combined with strong winds and icy roads, the snow could make driving during
the holidays dangerous across the region.
Snow, falling at a rate of up to two inches an hour, is expected in the
mountains of Arizona and New Mexico, the National Weather Service said.
The snow is forecast to start battering northeast New Mexico on Monday

We are living through the most anti-Israel US administration in history.
Even Jimmy Carter – who is a rabid anti-Semite and hater of Israel in these
days of his dotage – was not as bad while in office as Barack Obama and
his henchmen, including Hillary Clinton, are.
Recently, Obama told some of the few Jews still blinkered enough to support
him that “This administration – I try not to pat myself too much on the

Wednesday, June 9, 2004; Page A11
The line is not likely to make this week's eulogies to Ronald Reagan, but
when Vice President Cheney allegedly declared, "Reagan proved deficits don't
