The political grudge Carl Sanders takes to his grave
Jimmy Carter had to step over Carl Sanders’ body to make it to the White House. Oh, physically, Sanders would live for another 44 years — until this week, in fact, when he died Sunday at age 89. But after their 1970 race for governor, Sanders was politically dead and Carter was a rising star.

What if ISIS was created by the U.S. government?
It’s a universal truth that government will do anything to maintain its power. Some of what it does is good. Some is bad. Some is nefarious. It’s the nefarious actions that happen in the shadows of the world, hidden from the general public, and, thereby, give rise to conspiracy theories. Because we don’t see these actions play out, brushing off conspiracy theories as meaningless, stupid or illogical is easy. But that doesn’t mean every theory is wrong.

Keystone XL pipeline bill fails by one vote in Senate
Democratic Senate leaders had allowed the vote as a boost for Sen. Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., who co-sponsored the bill and faces an uphill runoff vote in December to retain her seat. With a final tally of 59 in support and 41 against, the bill fell shy of a 60-vote threshold that party leaders had agreed upon for final passage, the number of votes needed to overcome a Senate filibuster. When Republicans assume control of both houses of Congress in January, they are expected to introduce their own Keystone authorization bill.

Conference focuses on Lake Coeur d’Alene pollution, solutions
Five years ago, officials from the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and the state of Idaho shook hands on a deal to address historic mining pollution at the bottom of Lake Coeur d’Alene. But Tuesday, tribal officials said not enough is being done to protect the lake from excess nutrients that increase the risk of heavy metals becoming suspended in the water. More than 75 million tons of lake sediments are polluted with lead, arsenic, cadmium and zinc that washed downstream and into its waters during a century of mining in Idaho’s Silver Valley.

Dealership alters plans in building preservation compromise
The decision to remove the buildings at 1023 and 1027 W. Third Ave. came after Megan Duvall, the city’s new historic preservation officer, realized she could use a provision in the city’s demolition ordinance allowing for the razing of historic buildings as long as their destruction supported the rehabilitation of an adjacent historic structure. Instead of obscuring the International Harvester Company Truck Showroom, which was built in 1929 at 1030 W. Third Ave., under the metal veneer of a new Lexus showroom, the company now will include the original building in its designs for the showroom. The metal siding has been replaced with limestone and brick in the designs for the new addition.

Death toll climbs to five in Israel synagogue attack

East Coast popular for illegal immigrants
New Jersey had the biggest gain, jumping 75,000 to 525,000 as many immigrants from India and Ecuador crossed illegally into the state. It was followed by Florida, increasing 50,000 to 925,000. Pennsylvania was third, rising 30,000 to 170,000. Other states with increases were Maryland, Virginia, Idaho and Nebraska, according to a report released Tuesday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center.

Idaho’s immigrant growth ranks near top
Idaho grew from 35,000 unauthorized immigrants in 2009 to 50,000 in 2012, an increase of 15,000 people. Washington ranked 12th in the total number of such people living within its borders.

The Temple Mount: Between now and 1929
There are aspects of Israel’s conflict with her Arab neighbors that are driven by real grievance. There are moderates on both sides who would sacrifice cherished land and sacred dreams for peace and coexistence. But there is another element to this conflict, and it has been there from the very start: unadulterated hate.

CNN’s Freudian Slip
In a serious gaffe, CNN ran a headline reporting a mosque was attacked, not a synagogue. It is not a coincidence that CNN got the story 100% wrong in its initial reports. One doesn’t have to dig deeply into the subconscious to wonder how this happened; CNN had a massacre at a mosque by Israelis on the brain. It was not simply an error, it was a Freudian slip.
