8 years ago The Colfax Commoner March 7, 1890 The ice is out of the Snake River and steamers are again making regular trips between Riparia and Lewiston. The new iron bridge on South Main is "more ornamental than useful" to the city just now and will remain so until the approaches are built. The new quarters of this institution, in the Fraternity block, are being fitted up this week and the elegant new furniture is being placed in position. The Bank of Colfax will be installed in its new location next week. Rain and a mild atmosphere is... Full story

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani instantly became the most notorious man in America when he said at a conservative dinner in Manhattan that President Barack Obama doesn’t love America. He gamely tried to defend the remark for a few days before issuing a semi-mea culpa in The Wall Street Journal regretting his “bluntness” and saying that he “didn’t intend to question President Obama’s motives or the content of his heart.” That was probably the inevitable end-point once the words came out of his mouth, since it is an unwritten rul...
I think we’ve missed one possible explanation for Rudy Giuliani’s behavior: Maybe he’s concealing the fact that he suffered a blow to the head severe enough to cause lasting damage to his prefrontal cortex. That’s the high-function part of the brain that controls, among many things, the ability to inhibit impulses, allowing us to regulate what we say and do. Actually, chances are that it’s not that at all, that Giuliani is continuing his very calculated effort to stay relevant by appealing to the ugliest emotions of the Republican Party’s base....

Local Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officers found a dead bald eagle on an island in the South Fork of the Palouse River last week. It had been shot by a rifle. Since it is a federal offense to kill an eagle, the case is being led by U.S. Fish and Wildlife who is partnering with local WDFW officers in the investigation. They are investigating the case and will determine what kind of rifle was used to kill the eagle. With that kind of evidence, they hope to find the person who shot the eagle. When interviewing both officers, the...

Editor’s Note: The following column was originally published in 2010. My parents are the kind of people who believe that dogs understand full sentences, like this: “OK, we’re going to the store, we’ll be gone a couple of hours, please stay out of the trash and don’t lie on my bed, that’s off limits and you know it!” What the dog thinks: Bed! So my father is perplexed that his two canines continue to bark at everyone who comes to the door, even though he’s sternly delivered his sermon “Thou Shalt Not Bark at the Person at the Door Unless He Is...
The fierce competition between Seattle’s Alaska Airlines and Atlanta’s Delta Airlines is spilling over to the Port of Seattle, and it may reach your wallet in the form of higher airfares. The Port commission, which manages Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, must decide whether to build a new international arrivals terminal at the south end of the airport or expand the north satellite to accommodate additional domestic flights. The commission prefers the international terminal, but there’s a problem — the price keeps ratcheting up. It star...
Hooray for Rich Lowry! “...Fifty Shades of Grey perhaps the most successful anti-feminist movie ever made.” Well said, Rich! As a woman who was (and still is) a feminist, I was appalled when I found out what the Grey books were about. Does anyone remember “I Am Woman”? Gloria Steinem? Bella Abzug? Poor Bella is probably spinning in her grave. In 1972, I started singing professionally. I was in the filthiest industry on earth, basically legal prostitution and pornography. For 30 years. Oddly enough, in the 70s, it wasn’t about sex or shock val... Full story
