  • Pet of the day: Misty the ferrett

    Name: Misty About: He is the most playful critter I've ever owned. He's 2 years old. He is the worst thing in the world for hiding things. He likes to get my keys and hide them in the couch. I got him at the pet store in Jonesboro, Arkansas. My favorite thing to do with him is to watch him run because he bounces like a rabbit when he runs. He loves to play with my keys, my fishing lures, or anything else that is shiny. He also likes to take showers. When he hears the shower running, it's hard to keep him from jumping in with... Full story

  • Clinton, McCain win NH primaries

    CONCORD, N.H. — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won New Hampshire’s Democratic primary Tuesday night in a startling upset, defeating Sen. Barack Obama and resurrecting her bid for the White House. Sen. John McCain powered past his Republican rivals and back into contention for the GOP nomination. Clinton’s victory capped a comeback from last week’s third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses and raised the possibility of a long battle for the party nomination between the most viable black candidate in history and the former first l...

  • Sans writers, TV going down tubes

    Kevin Wilson

    Over the last few months, I thought nothing could be more boring than what the writers’ strike had done — old episodes of “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,” covering weeks-old news. I found out Monday night I was wrong. I was more bored by new episodes of “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,” but without the writers that make it one of the funniest, sobering (and trustworthy) news program on the air.

  • Confiscated airport goods going to waste

    Most Americans recognize that wastefulness is pervasive in the federal government. By now, revelations that once generated disbelief and anger garner a defeatist shrug. But some cases still can make us shake our heads in dismay. Have you ever wondered where all the stuff goes that Transportation Security Administration personnel confiscate at airports, while they’re safeguarding us from the threat of bottled-water bombs or exploding hair gel containers? Somewhere, we suspect, vast warehouses are stacked to the rafters with a...

    CNJ Staff

    The list of Clovis’ mayoral candidates swelled to six on Tuesday as a retired restaurant owner and city newcomer joined four candidates who announced last month. Rudy Kumar, a respiratory therapist who moved to Clovis just a few days ago from California, and Mario Martinez, a longtime Clovis resident, were the surprise candidates who filed for the position on Tuesday. Tim Ashley, Gayla Brumfield, Rube Render and Gloria Wicker had announced their plans last month to seek the mayor’s seat. Clovis voters will decide whom the... Full story
