Salvatore Sampino sued Cher in July 2000, alleging wrongful termination. He said he was fired in May 2000. "All I can say is the truth is the truth. I'll defend myself in there," Cher said before entering court Thursday. Cher and her attorneys have denied the accusations, saying Sampino wasn't fired but quit. They also say he was never employed by Cher but by Artemis Design and Consulting, the principal contractor on the home. Artemis and Inshallah Trust Project, a family trust controlled by the entertainer, are also named as defendants in the suit. The lawsuit alleges undocumented day laborers were paid cash for their work and were not offered worker's compensation benefits or overtime. Sampino, 40, seeks unspecified damages for wrongful termination, retaliation, sexual harassment, defamation, unfair competition, negligence and unpaid wages. The trial is expected to last several weeks.

You'd think Hitlary would be grateful to be getting a "stiff" of any sort >>> "Did Denise Stiff Hillary Post-Pardon?" AP Friday, August 31, 2001 By Roger Friedman - It seems as though Denise Rich � songwriter, fundraiser, Democratic donor, and ex-wife of former federal fugitive Marc Rich � reneged on a $40,000 pledge to the Hillary Clinton Senate campaign. In an article written by yours truly in the September issue of Gotham Magazine, sources who worked for the Hillary for Senate campaign told me a most interesting story regarding Denise and a bill she promised to pay for the campaign. The money has to do with Hillary's birthday celebration last October at the Roseland Ballroom in New York. The fabulous (is there anything else to call her?) Cher required a private plane to bring her in from California so she could perform a couple of songs at the star-studded show. The plane cost $40,000. Denise, according to the organizers, pledged to pay the bill as one of her ongoing donations to various Democratic party needs during the last election year. But Denise never anted up. According to sources who worked on the event, by the time the invoice was presented to Rich, it was after January 20, 2001, when President Clinton pardoned Marc Rich. "Denise stiffed us," one organizer told me. "The campaign wound up paying the bill rather than going after her. It was clear she wasn't going to pay once Marc got his pardon." In fact, after pouring money into Democratic causes for four years, Denise Rich has made not a single political campaign donation in 2001. Her supporters point out that she may be afraid of having her checks returned, but in reality it's hard to remember any politician of any party sending money back to donors unless a campaign is cancelled. And even that's stretching it.

Lifelong Democrat Juanita Yvette Lozano, 31, said she was sorry her actions had drastically changed her life but did not apologize for committing mail fraud and perjury. She pleaded guilty in June. "Every election will be a painful reminder as I will be only an observer in the process," she told the court, fighting back tears. U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks scolded Lozano for trying to disrupt the presidential election. "Our whole system of government depends on free elections," he said.

Trying to make up some of the $14 million it will cost to buy computerized voting machines, Palm Beach County has announced plans to auction up to 5,000 of its infamous punchcard voting machines used in last year's presidential elections. The machines will be sold on eBay, the online auction house, beginning Nov. 7. That's the anniversary of the election that made Palm Beach County the butt of jokes around the world. The county hopes to cash in on the media retrospectives about the election that will be aired and published. To help stimulate the bidding, county Elections Supervisor Theresa LePore has asked lawyers if she can include an actual butterfly ballot, which some voters found so confusing that they say they mistakenly voted for Pat Buchanan instead of Al Gore.

Speaking of insane North Carolinian racists, Glint, it's with a heavy heart we bid adieu to Jesse Helms, who announced last week that he would be retiring in 2003. To commemorate Helms's 30 years of idiocy, here are a few choice quotes from the golden years of "Senator No," courtesy of The Hotline. On Clinton-era HUD appointee Roberta Actenberg: "She's not your garden-variety lesbian. She's a militant-activist-mean lesbian." On Bill Clinton visiting North Carolina: "Mr. Clinton better watch out if he comes down here. He'd better have a bodyguard." On AIDS: "We've got to have some common sense about a disease transmitted by people deliberately engaging in unnatural acts." After debating Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun on the "virtues" of the Confederate Flag: "I'm going to sing 'Dixie' to her until she cries." During a debate on investigating Mexican corruption: "All Latins are volatile people. Hence, I was not surprised at the volatile reaction." From a direct mail fundraising appeal: "Your tax dollars are being used to pay for grade school classes that teach our children that CANNIBALISM, WIFE-SWAPPING, and the MURDER of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior." And finally: "The New York Times and The Washington Post are both infested with homosexuals..." Ah, Jesse, you will be sorely missed. And don't let the door hit you in the ass and knock your false teeth out when you leave.

Racism is denying a person the ability to persue life, liberty, and happiness simply on the basis of their racial makeup. Pure racism has nothing to do with ethnic background or country of origin. It is when a one is denied an opportunity, such as a job for instance, because one's race is different than that of the successful candidate even though the unsuccessful candidate may be more qualified for the job. For instance, if a latin(race=Caucasian) loses a job to an Asian (race=Mongoloid) worker because quotas need to be filled, even though the former worker may have more exeperience fighting fires and better language skills, it is racism.

Among this group we find the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, the money center banks and multinational coporations, the media, the educational establishment, the entertainment industry, and the large tax-exempt foundations. Mr. President, a careful examination of what is happening behind the scenes reveals that all of these interests are working in concert with the masters of the Kremlin in order to create what some refer to as a New World Order. Private organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Trilateral Commission, the Dartmouth Conference, the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies, the Atlantic Institute, and the Bilderberger Group serve to disseminate and to coordinate the plans for this so-called New World Order in powerful business, financial, academic, and official circles. . . . The psychological campaign that I am describing, as I have said, is the work of groups within the Eastern establishment, that amorphous amalgam of wealth and social connections whose power resides in its control over our financial system and over a large portion of our industrial sector. The principal instrument of this control over the American economy and money is the Federal Reserve System. The policies of the Industrial sectors, primarily the multinational corporations, are influenced by the money center banks through debt financing and through the large blocks of stock controlled by the trust departments of the money center banks. Anyone familiar with American history, and particularly American economic history, cannot fail to notice the control over the Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency which Wall Street seems to exercise.... The influence of establishment insiders over our foreign policy has become a fact of life in our time. This pervasive influence runs contrary to the real long-term national security of our Nation. It is an influence which, if unchecked, could ultimately subvert our constitutional order. The viewpoint of the establishment today is called globalism. Not so long ago, this viewpoint was called the "one-world" view by its critics. The phrase is no longer fashionable among sophisticates; yet, the phrase "one-world" is still apt because nothing has changed in the minds and actions of those promoting policies consistent with its fundamental tenets. Mr. President, in the globalist point of view, nation-states and national boundaries do not count for anything. Political philosophies and political principles seem to become simply relative. Indeed, even constitutions are irrelevant to the exercise of power. Liberty and tyranny are viewed as neither necessarily good nor evil, and certainly not a component of policy. In this point of view, the activities of international financial and industrial forces should be oriented to bringing this one-world design - with a convergence of the Soviet and American systems as its centerpiece - into being. . . . All that matters to this club is the maximization of profits resulting from the practice of what can be described as finance capitalism, a system which rests upon the twin pillars of debt and monopoly. This isn't real capitalism. It is the road to economic concentration and to political slavery." [Most world leaders and statesmen, yes like Senator Jesse Helms, one of the most vocal opponents of the New World Order, Chairman of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, dedicated anti-Communistic, devoted defender of the military, and seeming advocate of evermore military spending, coming from the industrial / military complex, still understands the threat to democracy wrought by the "financial powers and interests". The problem is that they offer no alternative solution to the nuclear threat.]

This guy is a total ass wipe. From the Sun Times... >>> It's no secret the Rev. Jesse Jackson is a camera hog. But his antics Friday at the funeral of slain police officer Eric Lee took the cake. Sneed spies claim Police Supt. Terry Hillard, a former U.S. Marine, was standing at attention and saluting the casket of Lee as it was being carried outside Salem Baptist Church . . . when Jackson stepped next to Hillard and extended his hand. Hillard ignored Jesse and continued to salute Lee. "It was like watching someone try to get the attention of a guard at Buckingham Palace,'' said a top Sneed source. "Hillard never broke stride . . . and it took some time for Jackson to get it. "Then Rev. Jackson placed himself in front of the hearse and Rev. James Meeks, his friend, motioned him to step back so the casket could be placed in the hearse.'' Jesseeeeeeeeeee! <<<

Reagan was a saint. Did you ever see "Bedtime for Bonzo?" The man had a way of relating to that chimp that reminds me of St. Francis. He was a white Uncle Remus, a Frank Buck in the rough. Sure, he gave the Russians a tough time, making them tear down their wall, busting the back of their nation-state, grinding them under his sturdy boot-heel, but with animals he was tender and loving. He loved horses and children as well, and he hated only evil things like unwashed armpits and taxes and socialist empires and Negroes getting fat on welfare while true Americans couldn't pay their tee fees. He built a city on the hill in the smoking ruins that Jimmy Carter made of America, and he graded out a yard for the field hands. He majored in economics at Sonny Bono Bible College and so he knew that if he kept the entrepreneurial spirit alive by transfering government dollars to fat men with pinky rings and American flag lapel pins and wives in fur coats the resulting rising tide would lift all boats except the worthless ones with holes in them. His policies finally paid off during the Clinton years when everybody got rich and bought an SUV and an in-ground pool and had their meals delivered steaming hot from great restaurants so they could eat in front of the set and not miss any of their favorite shows. This is the legacy of Ronald Reagan, and he can drool happily, knowing that it came to fruition for eight short years.

Ronald Reagan was a great man, asshole. He was so great that he brought down communism just by being able to put his feet where the chalk marks were and read canned platitudes from a teleprompter. He made peace with the Ayatolla, kept the Sandanistas at bay for a good two or three years, and scared the shit out of a lot of Cadillac-driving welfare queens. He made stupid, selfish, blue-nosed Americans proud to be Americans again, and he let Frank Sinatra eat out his wife in the Lincoln bedroom. His presidency was a great boon to used-car salesmen, the hair-dye industry, and astrology. For a confused bumpkin with all the innate human warmth and administrative capability of a mid-scale restaurant menu writer, he was one hell of a president. There were several in history worse than him, or at least two anyway or three if you count the current numb-nuts.

White people in this country would still dance like a bunch of Republican haoles if we hadn't sent so many ambassadors to places like Jamaica, Brazil, Mauritania, Pango Pango, and Sri Lanka. They went, they served, they suffered, they learned, and they came back busting moves like a bunch of amoral cannibals with filed teeth. Hats off to the Returned Liberal Peace Corps Volunteers.

Best part may have been the photo op of the poor little guy sawing a branch off a lodgepole pine in Rocky Mountain National Park, sawing it with somebody's grandmother's pruning saw and wearing a pair of big yellow gloves that looked like someone had raided Bozo the Clown's Outdoor Exertion locker. Something tells me that whatever uptown public relations genius is staging these things has been watching too many television shows produced by homosexual city Jews.

Oh F*ching Christ! Now, I think I've heard everything: "ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) -- A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sun roof during an incident best described as "a mistaken rapture" by dozens of eye witnesses. Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she claimed was Jesus. "She started screaming "He's back, He's back" and climbed right out of the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene. "I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Williams said. She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say. "This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force," said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene. Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was dressed up as Jesus and was on his way to a toga costume party when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blow up sex dolls filled with helium which floated up into the air. Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration, and said "Come back here," just as the Williams' car passed him, and Mrs.Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into the sky as they passed by him, according to her husband, who says his wife loved Jesus more than anything else."

My two cents are:
The Queen for a Day law (aka Racial Quotas, but Even More Humiliating) is known as the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program. In order to qualify, potential contractors must show that they are both "socially and economically disadvantaged."
To be "socially disadvantaged," the aspiring queen must have been the victim of "racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias." To be "economically disadvantaged," the aspiring queen must have "diminished capital and credit opportunities" on account of being "socially disadvantaged."
Claims of social and economic disadvantage must be attested to in "signed, notarized certifications." States receiving federal transportation dollars are required to award transportation contracts to the applicant whose tale of woe registers the highest on the clap-o-meter. (The demeaned applicants are on their own for any follow-up showers.)
The Constitution doesn't say the government can't write dumb laws -- as if you didn't know that. It does say the government can't write racially discriminatory laws. And on my description so far, the DOT's Queen for a Day program is merely vomit-provoking.
But the DBE program quickly bounds from being simply grotesque to being actually unconstitutional by imposing a legal "presumption" that minorities (and women) are "socially and economically disadvantaged." Not only does the Queen for a Day program contain racially discriminatory "presumptions," but it also punishes states that do not achieve perfect racial quotas.
If the states receiving federal transportation dollars choose too many queens of the disfavored race, they are required to compile various statistical analyses and submit laborious reports to the DOT. But if -- by total happenstance -- the Queen for a Day program manages to achieve the same result as strict racial quotas would, the state is off the hook. It can get a waiver from the Kafkaesque bureaucratic hoops.
Guess which method of compliance the states keep choosing?
That's not the trick question. This is the trick question: Guess which administration is currently defending the DOT's racist Queen for a Day program before the Supreme Court?
Obviously, putting the applicants for transportation contracts on TV to tell their stories is a reality show waiting to happen. (Like the federal government, the clap-o-meters can be set to register extra applause for minorities and women.)
But the Queen for a Day I'd really like to see would put Attorney General John Ashcroft and President George W. Bush on the same stage to explain why the other guy is responsible for the administration's massive resistance to a color-blind Constitution.

Of course certain folks here had an unbending aire of confidence. Particularly this savvy poster who responded to Dubya's appearance on the fat Oprah show: "Bush came across as hilarious. He could do comedy if it wasn't the Presidency. When he does finally get to the issue substance in the debates, he will smoke Gore. Tick Tock..."

Unlike Clinton, Reagan's V.P. followed him into the White House and, similarly unlike Clinton, they both left with their unimpeached reputations in tact. Also broke the back of Communism and beat down the taxes. Yep, them were the days. Oh wait, those days are back. Yippee!!

If Reagan was against homosexuals, why did he choose one for his vice-president. And don't tell me it was because he wasn't too bright-- even a dumb guy can spot homos if he's been in Hollywood for a while.

Strange how the econony really started heating up after the Republicans took over the legislature. Some would say it was close to overheating, in fact. The turncoat Jeffords had to switch just to keep the economy from blowing the boiler. It also showed his true colors, for anyone with remaining doubts.

Reagan was a fairly delayed-action dude. It took four years after his presidency for his great economic measures turned the economy around, a delay that let Clinton hog the glory. It was different with the Berlin wall-- they started tearing it down only two years after he recommended it to Gorby. His campaign against homosexuality and some Americans' refusal to use Brylcreem may take longer to come to fruition, but you can still count on an entirely straight America with a greased pompadour by, Oh, 2058.

"A time to remember
Reagan:
In domestic and foreign affairs, the man has left his mark"
By John Fund
MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR
Aug. 14 - Ronald Reagan rode off into the political sunset a dozen years ago, but his influence on our times is still being felt. This week, two landmark anniversaries - the signing of his 30 percent income tax cut in 1981 and the building of the now-dismantled Berlin Wall in 1961 - remind us of why Reagan will remain a signature figure in our history books.
It�s hard to remember how much trouble the country was in when Ronald Reagan became president in 1981.
THIS WEEK, presidential son Michael Reagan presided over a ceremony honoring the 1981 tax cut at the mountain ranch house near Santa Barbara, Calif. that Ronald Reagan called home for almost one-eighth of his presidency. The ranch is now owned by the Young America�s Foundation, an educational group that brings young people there to learn about the legacy of Ronald Reagan and his philosophy. More than 100 college students were on hand yesterday when Michael Reagan, using the same leather-bound table that his father had used to sign the historic Kemp-Roth tax bill into law, broadcast his syndicated radio show from the ranch.
*MAKING TAX HISTORY*
The tax bill was indeed historic. It lowered personal income taxes - which then had rates as high as 70 percent - across the board and ended the bracket-creep that pushed Americans into higher tax brackets through inflation. The cut totaled 3.3 percent of the country gross domestic product, and was much larger than both President John F. Kennedy�s tax cut (2.2 percent of GDP) and the one signed by President George W. Bush this summer (1.1 percent of GDP). The cut helped shake the country out of economic crisis and combined with tough monetary policy set the stage for a run of economic growth that has lasted 20 years, with one brief recession in 1990-91.
It�s hard to remember how much trouble the country was in when Ronald Reagan became president in 1981. Inflation was running at 13.5 percent a year; interest rates peaked at 21.5 percent, and there were energy shortages after the overthrow of the shah of Iran. Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, called Kemp-Roth �a genuine and necessary restoration of America�s tradition of free enterprise, at a time when she needed it most. Prosperity of today�s scale could never have existed without Kemp-Roth. President George W. Bush�s tax relief plan is the latest renewal of those ideals and tax rebate checks began arriving in American homes just this week.�
*TEARING DOWN THE WALL*
Few people believed the Berlin Wall would ever fall when Ronald Reagan mounted a platform near it in the fall of 1987 and firmly declared, �Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.�
Of course, Reagan also had an impact on international affairs and is widely credited with setting in motion the events that led to the breakup of the Soviet Union. This week also marks the 40th anniversary of the construction of the Berlin Wall. That infamous barrier divided Berlin for 28 years and led to the deaths of 254 people who tried to escape from East to West.
Few people believed the Wall would ever fall when Ronald Reagan mounted a platform near it in the fall of 1987 and firmly declared, �Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.� Only two years later came the heady days of November, 1989, when Berliners scaled the wall and consigned the ash heap of history.
�It wa a Kodak moment if ever there was one,� recalls Larry Reed, president of the Mackinac Center, an economic think tank in Michigan. �But many of today�s young people now have no appreciation for the tears and treasure it took to make that Wall come down.�
Many American heroes deserve to be celebrated, but it seems to be that mid-August will always be a time for people to think back and appreciate Ronald Reagan�s accomplishments. His greatest domestic achievement was signed into law in 1981 and that time also marks the beginning of the history of the most infamous barrier to human freedom of the last half century-and one that Reagan was instrumental in dismantling.

"Jackson's Mistress: Affair Scuttled White House Bid"
CHICAGO (Reuters) - The woman whose out-of-wedlock child was fathered by Jesse Jackson says the civil rights leader dropped a possible third run for the White House in 2000 partly because of the scandal [so dat's why his uppity bad self up an' quit!], according to an interview to be aired on Friday.
Karin Stanford, a one-time aide in Jackson's Rainbow PUSH Coalition Washington office, also said her [rump pumpin'] relations with Jackson have become strained since she took him to court to firm up [ahem!] child support arrangements.
Stanford was interviewed by Connie Chung for broadcast Friday at 10 p.m. EDT. ABC said the program marked the first in-depth television interview that Stanford, who lives in Los Angeles, had granted since the scandal broke in January.
Jackson's press secretary could not be immediately reached for comment.
Stanford said she did not tell Jackson she was pregnant at first, in part because he was considering another run for the presidency in 2000 and ``I did not want my pregnancy to interfere with the possibility of a campaign.''
After Jackson found out about the baby, he dropped the idea, she said, according to a news release on the interview issued by the network on Thursday. [i totted t'was 'cause he di'n't wanna mess 'round wit dat raspy gaspy Gore dude!]
``I think he was concerned that because reporters were calling and asking about who the father of my baby was, his concern was that they would focus more on his personal life rather than his campaign platform,'' she said. [damn straight girl!]
Stanford, 39, had a four-and-one-half year affair with Jackson. She was pregnant with the 59-year-old Baptist minister's child [praise dah lawd!] at the time Jackson was counseling former President Clinton on his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky, a liaison that ultimately led to Clinton's impeachment. [wuz his min'string like Bubba's min'string to Monica except Bubba was a chewin' on a big brown Hershey stick 'stead o' no sticka string cheese?]
``I don't think it was hypocritical at all,'' Stanford said of Jackson's counsel to Clinton. ``Or disingenuous. I think that he could empathize with President Clinton, because he was in a similar situation. And who better to give you advice than someone who's walked in your shoes?'' [b'sides, she knew she c'd always sue for chil' support latur on]
Now, she said, she wants Jackson ``to be a father to Ashley. I want us to have very clear visitation, I guess guidelines.'' [she wants mo' money 's whut she wants! ain't nothin' wrong with wantin' somethin' fo' nuthin. jackson owes us. whitey owes us. ever'buddy owe us fo' our poor wet nursin' granny slavin' awy while all dem white babies did suck out her life juices!]

It's obvious to me that a lot of queers are queers by choice. They're just guys like the golem and Glint, men who have more than a little woman in them, who realize that they can avoid dealing with the bitches and still get their rocks off. They make the choice to never have to deal with raging hormonal imbalance and weird brain-twisting late-night arguments about communication and relationships and monthly rages alternating with sobbing self-pity, and waiting and waiting while the old lady does her makeup. It must be nice to be one of those dudes who was blessed with homosexual tendencies like those two birds, but it must also be hell to have the tendencies but choose to bottle them up with religion and hatred.

Glint will be saying no no no Whittiker Chambers never went down on Roy Cohn. We're dealing with a couple of genetic hypocrites here. A couple of closet queens with more than a little fascination with the music of the skin flute. That's OK, though, Dr. Kinsey said that a lot of guys are a little queer. If we can accept the rim queens, we should be tolerant of the corked-up 30% faggots of the right, though I wish we didn't have to read the seepage of their fantasies.

Now, if choosing the skin pole for a man's chew is not genetically determined, perish forbid, then does it follow that chewing on the pussed-over twat per the golem's famous specialty is also a choice? Hey, these birds chirped to themselves back at Haole Intermediate, looka them lobes on the back end Suzie An'na'k'l'n'k'n'a! I choose to admire them lobes. I choose to feel an uncontrolled surge of the nethers! Nothing genetic about this! If homosexuality is a a choice, why was Jesus a queer? Did you ever read about Jesus jousting with the pork sword? No, he went around wearing a dress and Birkenstocks, hair down to the crack of his holy ass. Surrounded himself with a bunch of admiring Semites, well-known for their choice of smooth-skinned lads and matzoh orgies. The eucharest started as a swallowing of the holy elixer, according to recent anthropological discoveries. And no one will say that the Son of God had bad genes.

My two cents are:
In the beginning (or so we are told) there were stone knives, then metal knives etc. Then even about 50 years ago we were informed that the cutting of fruits and vegetable with any metal knife damaged the fruit or vegetable causing it to rapidly lose its nutrients. This condition did NOT exist however when eaten because to be eaten (again so we are told) is the plants intent. Hence a glass knife was developed and sold to the purest that wanted to eliminate that nutrient loss; this glass knife was made and used by thousands and it was �� thick and it was developed though wood was thought to be the material of choice because wood is a like substance; being plant life itself. Though at the time this was not to be because (as it was thought) there was not a wood that could be made into a knife that would satisfactorily cut fruits and vegetable.
Today; much more recently; what was said to be impossible is being done. Now there are indeed wood knives that are most satisfactory and enjoyable to use. These knives cut, slice and dice most of your fruits and vegetables with amazing results. In tests, lettuce cut, sliced and diced with Wood knives does not turn brown from the cuts for many hours and even days thus it is assumed they also hold their inherent nutrients better. Try it on your nearest gay salami. You might be impressed with the fruity results.

"We consider him very dangerous," said Andy Black, FBI spokesman in San Francisco. "Both of his victims were members of the gay community, as he is. We were hoping that someone in the public will lead us to him and his arrest." Is he hiding out in your den? Hmmmm....

My two cents are:
It's tax free week in the People's Republic of Maryland. Sales tax has been temporarily put aside on clothing purchases of $100 or less. This was done to compete with the outlet stores nearby in Pennsylvania. Of course with so many people flocking to the stores there is little incentive for retailers to offer sales. Fortunately, our county is right next to PA so we can conveniently make a run for the border at any time of the year.

Here's Lieberman II (or how a lying liberal tries to pretend to be virtuous, then realizes what he ahs done and backtracks): "After becoming the first House Democrat to call for the resignation of Rep. Gary Condit (D-Calif.), Rep. Mike Doyle (Pa.) is now backing away from those comments. Doyle said that Condit is "toast" in a television interview earlier this week.
"I think it would be in the best interests of his constituents that he resign," Doyle said on "NightTalk," a Pittsburgh public affairs program hosted by John McIntire. "I think he's lost credibility."
After one of his staffers read him the Roll Call item over the telephone, Doyle called to clarify his initial remarks.
"What I meant to say was that his constituents have to decide," said Doyle, who noted that he planned to next call Condit himself to clarify the remarks he made on "NightTalk." "I'm not calling for Gary's resignation." I smell a floppy liberal fish. Flop. Flip. Plop.

My two cents are:
Arafat has given Israel war; he will now receive it. He either flees (as he did Jordan when trying to overthrow King Hussein in 1970) or is deported back to Tunis (as he was from Lebanon in 1982).
Israel does not reoccupy Palestinian cities. Israeli troops stay only the few days necessary to (1) begin building a wall of separation between Palestinian and Israeli territory and (2) evacuate the more far-flung Israeli settlements.
With a new border consolidated, Israel withdraws.
In the current bloodshed, not a single suicide bomber has come from Gaza. Why? Because there already is a wall separating Gaza from Israel. Palestinians have lobbed mortars over it, but it is difficult to send suicide bombers through it. Such a wall built between the rest of Palestine and Israel is the only way to ensure the reduction of violence that everyone claims to want.
Strike and expel. Abandon settlements and consolidate lines. Build the wall. And then? And then wait.
Wait for a Palestinian generation that will sign a peace treaty that it intends to live by. That really accepts a Jewish state as its neighbor, that really forswears violence. These are all explicit, written promises given by Arafat at that lachrymose festival of deception and delusion, the Oslo peace signing on the White House lawn in September 1993. He violated every single one.
Israel might have to wait decades for a genuine "peace partner." When that day comes, the wall comes down and the New Middle East dawns. But until then, a lightning campaign to disarm the enemy and enforce separation is the only way.

August 16, 2001 -- Paula Jones, the former Arkansas state worker who sued President Clinton for sex harassment, filed another lawsuit yesterday - this time against imprisoned businessman Abe Hirschfeld.
Hirschfeld had publicly promised to pay Jones a million dollars if she dropped her Clinton lawsuit, in which she claimed the then-governor had dropped his pants and asked her to perform a sex act.
Hirschfeld had displayed a check that he said he'd give Jones if she gave up her suit against the president.
She and Hirschfeld reached a written agreement on Halloween 1998, and Jones settled the Clinton suit two months later.

My two cents are:
Since we're "on topic" let me tell you about the book I've been reading. "A History of Astronomy from Thales to Kepler" (John Louis Emil Dreyer, 1906) has been called "A masterpiece of historical insight and scientific accuracy." Actually I'm reading a first printing of the 2nd Edition (1953), which itself is nearly 50 years old.
It's pretty dry and requires perfect solitude in order to complete one run-on 18th century sentence after another, what with attention span and short term memory being what they are now in the 21st century. I find myself for the most part rather indifferent to this or that incorrect theory from the all but forgotten past. Once in a while though an interesting theory springs forward. Theories which are fascinating for their cunningly intuitive rationale that results in complete ass backwardness. For instance, some numbnuts back in the 3rd or 4th century BC concluded that in order of distance from the [flat of course] earth, were: (1) the stars, (2) Saturn, (3) Jupiter, (4) Mars, etc., with the moon being the farthest away. The reasoning went like this: The closer an object is, the faster it moves. The stars are closest because they revolve around the earth once every 24 hours. The planets Saturn and Juptiter keep up with the stars pretty well, except they fall behind drifting slightly eastward each day. The sun gets behind even further, about 1 degree per day. Finally we have the moon, which rises (depending on the season) some 20-40 minutes later each night. Clearly the moon is the farthest away because it is moving far more slowly than the stars which are whizzing past at a low altitude. And if you think that's full of butt bananas, you should read up on the Big Bang theory.....

My two cents are:
Is the universe infinite because existence is infinite, or is existence infinite because the universe is infinite? Which one presupposes the other, or vice versa? Only God can read those runes. Scence cannot explain what we cannot see or sense, and always ends up biting itself in the ass with theories which later prove to be non-sense. Look at the theory that bubbles in soda-pop are made of minute "particles" that cleave together through "electromagnetic forces" -- what a farce. Soon the sea will rise and cover the Houses of Parliament, and Big Ben will toll no more. It will not matter then what science theorized. Who can explain gravity? No, all science can do is crawl over gravity like ants on a decaying artichoke, probing it and poking it but never understanding it. Bend in the space-time continuum my aching red ass. Out at the edge of the universe, where it starts not ending, that's where God takes over and becomes the Big Kahuna. Or so I sometimes think, when I am exercising my excess of gray matter, taking a break from my surveillance of the traitorous cunts that infest our body politic.

Now Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson and Clyde McPhatters have been unleashed on the free world, and we are paying for that mistake. Al Gore has grown a Castroesque beard. Will it never stop?

Same thing happened to me this Summer. Bought a new gas grill and looked forward to recycling the old tank so I'd have a spare. No energy crisis during any more Labor Day barbecues with a hot spare standing by. But no, the old tank couldn't couple with the new grill. Felt like the guy who picked up a broad and when he got her in bed discovered its plumbing was convex instead of concave. Not that I'd know first hand, of course.

The energy people in California are trying to get people to use more electricity and use up all the long-term contracts they signed when the Republican energy panic was on, back in the day when a lot of gullible people believed that Clinton had been asleep at some sort of switch, and we were all doomed. I invited the local utility to come out and attach this magical green box to my air-conditioner so they could cycle it off. I took a deep breath and agreed to a Level 3 committment, allowing them to shut off its juice for up to an HOUR, for five bucks off my monthly bill. I've only turned the air-condition on once, to see if it works, but they still deduct the fiver. I figure some months I'll make more on electricity than I spend, if we get some hot spells. It will probably take them three years to come and unhook the green box and cut off my payments.

I picture a guy who wears a bolo tie to church, and his face turns red and beads with sweat during the service, and he closes his eyes and mumbles to himself. The top of his forehead is white where the plastic ball-cap protects it from the sun when he's riding his lawn tractor. Behind him on the blonde-wood end-table is a stuffed drake mallard cleverly glued to a plastic oak branch so it looks like it's flying, and there's maybe a stuffed raccoon or a bobcat skin over the fireplace, and some bowling trophies. The guy has a metal jar of vanilla and macademia-nut instant coffee blend with non-dairy creamer, and he's dreamily sucking steam from his hot cup into nostrils that point out toward the front, watching Sally Jesse Raphael, thinking that TV was better before it got took over by the niggers. Sometimes I think about the people sitting in the exhaust fumes on a Starbuck's terrace.

Say, do you suppose you could get game tickets? Sure would like to see a ball game, and surely it's got to be worth a bag of vine-ripe tomatoes from the northern slopes? I've also got some fish, a couple of bull-goose rainbow trout from two or three years ago, never had the heart to eat them, they look so sad gaping up like a frozen haole, all their rainbow sex raiment bled together into a vaguely dotted gray hash. But they all fry up brown in the right juice. And loofah! I've still got some mountain loofah around, seeds and all. There must be some room to tramp around, somewhere in the digs. Digs without a tramping floor are no digs at all.

It must be neat to be able to use a word like "digs" and not curl one's lip at oneself. Must be a lot like a dog pissing happily on a fire hydrant and not having to make value judgements about it other than the mute appreciation that goes with pissing on any upright object.

And the socialist women. Soft yet tight, and they all know how to cook. Seeming cubic yards of sensitive and mildly erectile tissue, with a sort of evil socialist promise, maybe of sweet musk, a dairy product left on top of the refrigerator until it starts to smell like feet. Nothing like a little evil, a traitorous attitude exercised in its own sort of socialist freedom, lunging and thrashing and glistening with various secretions. And strawberries after, heavy cream and sauces made with butter and scrapings and brown roux, and bits of bread to push it all around on the plate. Thank the lord for Marx and for Engels, and for that snake in the garden.

About Saturday... should I bring some tomatoes? I got some pretty nice tomatoes. That's what's wrong with this country, you can't get a good tomato unless you grow it yourself. In socialist France, where the small, unprofitable farmer is coddled by the nanny-state, you get good tomatoes. You get all kinds of good food. The strawberries, they're great. The mussels. The oysters. The beets, scallions, new peas. Game and beef and chicken, guinea fowl, all good. Foie gras and homard, petit-suisse and roasted-slope wine, pont l'eveque, It's like a whole world past Pringles and flavored coffee. I'd trade a free market for a good tomato or a French strawberry any day.

Nice spread on the Lifestyles page in Ydog's favorite "right wing newspaper" - the Carroll County Times. Too bad their web staff loafs on the weekends, otherwise he would have set up in bed between the wife and the Asian chick and taken notice of it. Above the fold was a color photograph of the observatory, telescope and yours truly at the $250 eyepiece peering at the gourds gourds down the hill. Below the fold was an image of the moon the rag's photo hound shot through the telescope. Open the paper up and inside is a photograph of me wildly gesticulating and obvously explaining to the reporter something about the seemingly infinite expanse of the cosmos beyond the slit. In the background can be seen the Paula Jones centerfold from Playboy with Linda Tripp's head pasted over hers. the wife liked the article and the photos, but chastised me for my choice of outerwear that featured a ripped up "Atlantic City" diesel-stained T-shirt. In my defense I told her that I'd slipped into something more comfortable because I thought the press, already an hour late, would be a no show. Besides, I protested, it was dark out when he was taking them flash pictures.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli police said on Wednesday they had found a naked German woman tourist looking for sex in a car park at Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion International Airport this week.
The ``beautiful blonde'' had time to kill before flying home, so she decided to have sex with passing men, a police spokesman said.
After one brief romp between parked cars, she was spotted by a police patrol who questioned and released her, fully clothed, with no charges against her.
``I thought they were pulling my leg, but the officers were stubborn and said I had to come to the station (to question her),'' Superintendent Moshe Feldinger of the airport police station was quoted as saying in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

An infinite universe presupposes an infinite existence. Science is only going to explain the obvious and hard to see. It can never explain what we cannot see or sense. Only a God can.

"Cosmic Laws Like Speed of Light Might Be Changing, a Study Finds"
An international team of astrophysicists has discovered that the basic laws of nature as understood today may be changing slightly as the universe ages, a surprising finding that could rewrite physics textbooks and challenge fundamental assumptions about the workings of the cosmos. The researchers used the world's largest single telescope to study the behavior of metallic atoms in gas clouds as far away from Earth as 12 billion light years. The observations revealed patterns of light absorption that the team could not explain without assuming a change in a basic constant of nature involving the strength of the attraction between electrically charged particles.

"Six years for two minutes"
Seventeen people are facing lengthy prison sentences in Los Angeles. Their crime: delaying, for a moment, President Bush's missile test. Up on the 14th floor of the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles, the judges are preparing to deal with their usual Monday-morning customers: young men with shaven heads, tattoos and resigned expressions, dressed in their uniforms of bright orange jumpsuits and shackles. But this morning there is a new bunch of defendants facing lengthy sentences in the federal courts: 17 people from all over the world arrested for trying to stop the Pentagon's antimissile defence test - Star Wars - at Vandenberg air-force base in California on July 14 by taking inflatable crafts into the test-site area.
It is not hard to spot the 15 Greenpeace activists and two journalists who were arrested last month, some dressed casually in T-shirts and jeans, others in unaccustomed suits. What is hard to understand is how they came to be facing conspiracy charges which could end in heavy prison sentences after the court case which begins on September 25. They are charged with conspiring to violate a safety zone, a felony that carries a six-year sentence and a $250,000 fine (�180,000); and conspiring to violate a direct order, that carries a 12-month sentence and a $5,000 (�3,600) fine.
....
The prosecuting authorities are defending the felony charges. "This is a safety issue," says a spokesman for the US attorney's office. "The grand jury [which earlier this month decided that the charges should proceed] made a determination using a probable cause standard that these were the appropriate charges to be made in this case." He says that the serious charges are warranted by the action taken by those arrested which was described as "very different" from those at previous demonstrations at the base. "It is incorrect to say that this signals any policy change by the administration."

Good afternoon. Perhaps Mr. Herbert
and
Mr. Beazley here
should swap places. I'd love to yank the knife switch that jolts the daylights out of both of them or any other tree-hugging, egg-sucking, fern fondling, baby mutilating Liberal! >>>
political agenda is a dangerous thing. It can lead one to cross lines that shouldn't be crossed, to descend to places one shouldn't go. In the case of Bob Herbert's August 2 and August 6 editorials in the New York Times, the temptation was a three-fer: (1) an opportunity to continue a longstanding crusade against the death penalty, plus (2) a chance to yet again attack criminal justice in (coincidentally, President Bush's) Texas, and (3) an opening to take a pot-shot at a prominent and rising conservative judge, Judge J. Michael Luttig. Perhaps, for Mr. Herbert, it was just irresistible.
His mission clear, Mr. Herbert proceeded to lionize one Napoleon Beazley, a convicted murderer scheduled to be executed today for the car jacking and murder of Judge Luttig's father. Beazley is a cold-blooded predator. His crime, which Mr. Herbert gracefully concedes was "bad enough," was to follow John Luttig to his home and shoot him dead as he exited his car, and to steal that car for a one-block joyride. John Luttig's wife, Bobbie, who watched her husband die, survived only because she feigned death and rolled under the car, while Beazley drove over her. Beazley's stated reason for the entire evening: He wanted "to see what it's like to kill somebody."
For this conduct, Beazley was sentenced to death, a fact Mr. Herbert deems a "Texas Travesty." To be sure, he recounts a couple of alleged racist statements by jurors or jurors' families - sentiments which have utterly no place in a court of law or any decent society, and which Mr. Herbert rightly decries - but Mr. Herbert presents nothing to undermine the underlying guilt of Beazley (which Beazley himself admits and nobody really questions). Indeed, he instead attempts to explain away Beazley's malice, beginning one column with the following characterization: "Mr. Beazley and two accomplices were hijacking a Mercedes-Benz from a couple in Tyler, Tex., when - in an apparent panic- Mr. Beazley opened fire with a .45 caliber pistol . . . ."
Mr. Herbert's agenda is clear, as the italicized phrase illustrates; nothing in the record supports any "panic," apparent or otherwise. As the federal court of appeals recounted, Beazley told his friends he wanted to kill somebody, he followed the Luttigs in their car for several miles, he observed to his friends that he was "going to have to shoot [the] driver," he followed them into their garage, and he threw 63-year-old John Luttig to the ground, shot him once in the side of the head, ran around the car to fire at Bobbie Luttig, and then returned to fire another bullet at close range into John Luttig's head.
The only possible conduct to prompt Mr. Herbert's hypothesized "panic," was Luttig's opening the car door to get out, surely not a surprising conduct after parking in one's own garage. (Mr. Herbert also includes the gratuitous reference to the make of the car, a Mercedes-Benz (presumably because that makes the murder less blameworthy), without mentioning that the car was also ten years old.)....

Sheets on the rolls show the smiling faces of Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Attorney General John Ashcroft. John Fischer sells them on his Web site, along with anti-Bush bumper stickers.
Fischer, who had wrapped himself in the toilet paper in preparation for the protest, said he was held for about four hours and interviewed by Secret Service agents while in custody.

Treads at least five inches deep and 17 inches wide, no more than 12 inches apart, angled no steeper than 70 degrees, handrail no closer than 6 inches to any stationary machinery. The hardest part was remembering which is the sine and which is the cosine to confirm the angle at 69�- 23' - 5". Sprayed poison all around outside for the carpenter ants in the fading light, took a shower, and headed generally south toward Antares.

Figured, what the hell, give the old poop a break. He came over with his pole saw and was sawing the low branches off for me. I grabbed a machete and started whacking them, too, and of course once you get started it's hard to stop. A lot like a Clinton-demonizing circle jerk must be like for a troglodyte.

Damned if I did, damned if I didn't. It was tough. You either cure Bonzo of his brain rickets or you put a handful of frozen embryos in a Petri dish and keep them alive forever instead of chunking them in the toilet. Angushed for days, but had to cut the anguishing short because Leno and Letterman were starting to pick up on it. I said it was OK to continue to not throw away the embryo goo that was already in the Petri dishes, but leave the virgin stuff alone. A Solomon-like decision, if I do say so myself.

Here's another poll, but this one's important! >> (August 11, 2001 01:48 p.m. EDT ) - Steve Spurrier remembers vividly the last time Florida was the preseason No. 1 team - his Gators lost twice, tied once and barely won the SEC title.
Seven years later, Florida is again No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason Top 25, edging No. 2 Miami by 16 points, with national champion Oklahoma at No. 3, *N E B R A S K A* ranked No. 4 and Texas at No. 5.
........
This is fifth time - the second for Florida - a team without the most first-place votes is No. 1 in the preseason poll, which started in 1950. The others were Notre Dame in 1971 and 1954 and Michigan State in 1952.
In '94, *N E B R A S K A* had the most first-place votes, but was ranked No. 4 behind Florida, Notre Dame and Florida State. That year, the Gators lost to Auburn 36-33, tied Florida State 31-31 and lost a Sugar Bowl rematch with the Seminoles 23-17 to finish No. 7 in the final AP poll.
.........
Florida and Miami, which do not play each other this season, are the first teams from the same state to be ranked 1-2 since 1996, when the Gators were No. 1 and Florida State was No. 2 in the Nov. 24 poll.
Oklahoma, coming off a 13-0 season and its seventh national title, has 10 first-place votes, while Big 12 Conference rivals *N E B R A S K A* (4 firsts) and Texas (5 firsts) are the other schools with first-place votes.
Florida State is No. 6 - the first time since 1987 the Seminoles are not in the preseason top 5 - followed by No. 7 Oregon, No. 8 Tennessee, No. 9 Virginia Tech and No. 10 Georgia Tech.
Oregon State is No. 11, followed by No. 12 Michigan, No. 13 Kansas State, No. 14 LSU, No. 15 Washington, No. 16 Northwestern, No. 17 UCLA, No. 18 Notre Dame, No. 19 Clemson and No. 20 Mississippi State.
Rounding out the preseason poll, South Carolina is No. 21, followed by No. 22 Wisconsin, No. 23 Ohio State, No. 24 Colorado State and No. 25 Alabama.
In the USA Today/ESPN coaches' preseason poll released Aug. 3, the top 5 were Florida, Miami, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Florida State.
Once again, the state of Florida dominates with three teams in the top 6. The SEC has the most schools in the preseason poll with six, but the Big 12's big four are a strong 3-4-5-13 (Oklahoma, *N E B R A S K A*, Texas, Kansas State). After Florida and Tennessee, the other four SEC schools are ranked 14th or lower.
<<< I seem to have missed CU. Can someone please tell me where Colorado was in the pre-season top 25? ;-)

Alter is told that one of Clinton's models is Ulysses S. Grant, the only former president to write a monster best-selling memoir, though it's about the Civil War, not his presidency.
Alter writes that in order for Clinton to achieve what he wants with his memoir, he should at least deal with: his failure to learn from earlier embarrassments and control his sexual appetites; his failure to use the Democratic[sic] Congress to push through campaign finance reform in 1993; his failure to settle the Paula Jones case, "which will require him to criticize his own lawyers;" his failure in using ... flimsy legalisms to try to escape the consequences of his affair with Monica Lewinsky and his failure to understand why pardoning a fugitive from justice, Marc Rich, "was simply wrong."

My two cents are:
Who is doing the honoring?
Whether or not you believed in the war, this is the story of an American's
reprehensible actions towards other Americans who were ordered to
serve and did serve. McCain has "forgiven" her, more in the spirit of making peace
with another human being. He would probably not support this award. Pass it on if
you agree.
Has THAT much time past? Have Americans forgotten? Read this (its signed at the
bottom): REMEMBER, SHE WAS KNOWN TO US ALL AS - "HANOI JANE.
Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the ''100 Great Women of the Century.''
Unfortunately many have forgotten, and still countless others have never known, how
Ms. Fonda betrayed not only idea of our country, but specific men who served and
sacrificed during Vietnam. Part of my conviction comes from personal exposure to
those who suffered her attentions. The first part of this is from a McDonnell Douglas
F-4E Phantom pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1978, the
former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison
(the ''Hanoi Hilton.'').
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJs, he
was ordered to describe for a visiting American ''Peace Activist'' the ''lenient and
humane treatment'' he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and dragged
away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp commandant's
feet, which sent that officer berserk.
In '78, the AF Col. still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his
flying days) from the Vietnamese Col.'s frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1983-85, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4Es). He spent 6
years in the ''Hilton'' -- the first three of which he was ''missing in action.'' His wife
lived on faith that he was still alive.
His group, too, got the cleaned / fed / clothed routine in preparation for a ''peace
delegation'' visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the
world that they still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his SSN
on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman,
she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets
like: ''Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?'' and ''Are you grateful for the humane
treatment from your benevolent captors?'' Believing this HAD to be an act, they each
palmed her their sliver of paper. She took them all without missing a beat. At the end
of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the
POWs, she turned to the officer in charge, and handed him the little pile of papers.
Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Col. Carrigan was almost number
four but he survived, which is the only reason we know about her actions that day. I
was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured by the
North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement, one year in a cage in Cambodia, and one
year in a black box in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned
and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South
Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I
was weighing approximately 90 lbs.(My normal weight 170 lbs.) We were Jane
Fonda's ''war criminals.'' When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp
communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with Jane Fonda. I said yes,
for I would like to tell her about the real treatment we POWs were receiving, which
was far different from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and
parroted by Jane Fonda, as ''humane and lenient.'' Because of this, I spent three
days on a rocky floor on my knees with outstretched arms with a large amount
of steel placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane till my arms dipped. I
had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda for a couple of hours after I was
released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV.
She did not answer me. This does not exemplify someone who should be honored
as part of ''100 Years of Great Women.'' Lest we forget . . . ''100 years of
great women'' should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the
blood of so many patriots. There are few things I have strong visceral reactions
to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them.
Please take the time to forward this on to as many people as you possibly can. It will
eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that we will never forget.

having Jane Fonda named one of the woman of the century bothers you as much as
it does me, then mail this to everyone on your Email list.

Still, her staffers try to smile in the face of unnerving disclosures, such as a recently revealed handwritten note on White House stationery that suggests a connection between Hillary Clinton and two controversial pardons her brother Hugh Rodham was paid to win from his brother-in-law. In both cases, Bill Clinton cut short the sentences.

Trace metal analysis performed with atomic absorption spectroscopy revealed that some flavors of Jell-O� contain small but significant levels of iridium. The comet that collided with the earth, causing the dinosaur extinction, may not have been a dirty snowball or a big rock; rather, this body perhaps represents a previously unidentified class of comets called Jell-O-roids, which consist of lumpy, improperly mixed Jell-O�.
A ball of Jell-O� 10 to 12 miles in diameter (a Jell-O�-rite) impacting on the earth would likely have altered the environment, shifted the orbit of the planet, and left a world-wide trace layer of Jell-O�-borne iridium similar to that which has been detected.

If pictures of Al Gore returning from three months in Europe with his Castroesque beard and Tipper (who seems to have added a pizza roll or two) weren't enough to put you off your picnic this past weekend, here's the latest Gallup poll that says Democrats actually want him back.

Just put it in a lock box and wait: "...according to a recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, two of the most prominent names in the Democratic Party garner the most support for their party's presidential nomination: former Vice President Al Gore, and former first lady and now New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Gore is the clear leader, with 34% of all Democrats saying they would support the party's 2000 nominee. Clinton comes in second, favored by 21% of the party, followed by former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley with 12% support. The Democratic Party's vice presidential nominee in 2000, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, draws 9% support, as does House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry receives 6% of the vote, followed by Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle with 2%....."

My two cents are:
I was a visitor on this Fornigate� site three years ago when Clintoon was in the White House. Now after eight awful hideous
appalling dreadful horrible shocking
terrible tortuous years of
unconscionable ineptitude and
multitudinous crimes, but finally
the stinking filthy criminal
Clintoons are outta The White
House. I'll drink to that; please
fill my glass. Time to scrub and
clean and fumigate the place.
Stains aplenty to mitigate and a
sink to replace. The necessary inventory of furniture and
paintings; the criminal Hitlery Rotten Clintoon who stole
anything to furnish her two multi-million dollar residences. The
Secret Service needed a place on the property to house its
agents, and the Clintoons have been so good as to make
available a structure for their bodyguards. By an amazing
coincidence: the rent exactly matches the monthly mortgage
payment for the entire property. Incredible. Anyway, the
fawning old time ABCNews doing liberal-skewed
"documentaries" on the Clintoon Years and how they
did so much for this Nation and its people. What a load of
shit. The hate and anger of and for Clintoon was and is
intense. Even the shrieking liberals and libertarians and
many newspapers are saying Clintoon's legacy is a festering,
fetid pile of dogshit. Shit for brains Clintoon is true to
form: lowlife, no class White Trash shit. I'll drink to that;
please fill my glass. ABCNews has a brown nose. Ditto,
NBCNews and the blatantly liberal Washington Post.
The Wall Street Journal calls it dead on. Those
Clintoon scum sucking lowlife, bottom feeding filth - Janet
"Waco" El-Reno included - screwed America six ways to
Sunday. Clintoon's so-called Legacy: coming into
office controlling the US Congress (2/3rds of the
Government), and leaving US Government totally controlled
by the Republicans! Clintoon, you're a stupid asshole
moron; sums it all
up nicely. The Clintoon paradox is this: Rarely has a
president so dominated the public stage and so little
affected the public agenda. The sociopathic Clintoon
was a zero, nothing, zip, zilch, nada, nothing president; a
mere boil on the ass of life. There also just might be a causal
relationship between how little Clintoon did and how
well the economy did. He is a small man, who deserves
no more of our attention. It, finally, really is time to move on.
Work real hard on your presidential library and get used to
it Bubba; you're ancient history. But, I digress. Where are the old stalwarts Ho-Hum and Yellowdog? I suppose they've slithered under the bed in Chappaqua where they can fiddle and diddle without the painful spanking they endured here from Pete and company. I'll drink to that!

My two cents are:
How careless of the Washington press corps not to have anticipated this. Come to think of it, their attempt to foist
campaign finance reform upon a Congress that didn't really want it deflated like a punctured blimp. And its champion, the
media's plumed knight of preference, Sen. Jack S. McClown (TURNCOAT-Ariz.), is having a spot of trouble with
constituents who do not want him to be their senator any longer. (They thought he was a Republican when they voted for
him). The recall campaign has already collected more than a hundred thousand signatures, about a third of the number
required to force a special election. How could those towering giants of intellect in the mainstream media not have seen
any of this coming? And how could they have allowed themselves to be outmaneuvered in such humiliating fashion by
Dubya, the designated "dummy" of the piece? After all, they are supposed to be so much brighter than he. Those guys are
overdue for a refresher course at Doc Goebbels' creative writing clinic.

My two cents are:
In truth, the Democrat's opposition to drilling in the ANWR makes no sense at all in terms of the environment or
economically, either. Their motivation is entirely political. They believe that they lost last year's presidential election
because too many greenies voted for Ralph Nader. The Democrat's irrational opposition to ANWR drilling is a blatant
attempt to kiss up to the environmental lobby. So much for their highly touted "monopoly on caring" about the working
man. If they think they can catch more votes by pandering to upscale greenie-weenies, Joe Sixpack will just have to do
without. And that, gentle reader, is the downside of trusting politicians to look after your best interests. They will do this
only so long as it benefits their own selfish interest. As soon as a competing constituency comes along that promises them
more votes, they'll drop you like a hot potato.

My two cents are:
The proposal to permit exploration in the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) had been
pronounced dead on arrival in the Senate, yet there is growing momentum for its passage. Interior Secretary Gail Norton
told Fox News Sunday that prospects for passage of Dubya's measure providing for oil drilling in the ANWR have
improved since organized labor began to actively support it. That may explain why passage of the president's energy plan
in the House by a vote of 240-to-189 was so much stronger than expected. Norton asserted that, "People are beginning
to realize that what we're talking about is the production of 700,000 jobs from this proposal -- that this would have
impacts throughout our economy and really make a difference for working men and women."
But Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle insists that Democrats have sufficient votes to sustain a filibuster in the Senate
unless Bush removes the drilling provision from his energy bill. Sen. (Holy Joe) Lieberman (D-Ct.) maintains that, "The
long-term answer is for America to invest in new technologies -- fuel cells, renewable energy -- which will create literally
millions of jobs in this century. If there was ever a reason for a filibuster... this is it, because we're going to irreparably
damage the Arctic refuge."
It's still the same old story -- when you run out of rational arguments, dazzle 'em with science, even if it's only junk
science.

"In the name of God ... vote against this bill!" shrieked a haggard House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt ( D-Mo.) to
legislators who were about to pass a compromise health bill worked out by the president and Rep. Charles Norwood
(R-Ga). Gephardt, his face puffed up and with big bags under his eyes, looked as though he hadn't slept for the better
part of a week. The vote was a crushing defeat for Democratic congressional leaders who had been pushing a "Patient's
Bill of Rights" which was, in fact, a bill of goods fashioned to bestow a cornucopia of big bucks upon ambulance chasers,
the Democrats' bloated plutocrats of preference. The lawyers had come through for them big time in last year's election,
showering Democratic candidates with lavish contributions, and now the jackass party had failed to deliver. Carried to
excess, this sort of thing can blunt the power of even the most blatant and aggressive political machine.

The Tunguska (1908) and Sikhote-Alin meteorites are the two most celebrated falls of the 20th century. Both had numerous eye witnesses yet only the latter produced meteorites -- some 23 tons of material collected! The former was believed to be an icy comet fragment that detonated in the atmostphere incinerating a large patch of forest. <> So, "Condit voted for the inquiry." And why shouldn't he? After all, let's see if crimes were committed. However, since Condit was also at the same time dipping his own pen in the company ink well, he probably thought it best to whitewash the whole affair.

Hi Pete. Last night at a local nature center they were giving away a free meteorite during a program that was to preceed a public Perseid meteor shower observing session. One of our astronomy club members is a meteorite dealer and tthe nature center bought a specimen wholesale from him to give away. Being a member of the club's Executive Committee made me ineligible for the drawing, however family members were eligible. Plus It was raining. I tricked the kids into going (told them were on our way to Taco Bell) and they piled into the Grand Caravan and off we went. Figured that the rain would keep the numbers down which would increase our chances of winning. Worked out gtreat. The oldest daughter won the fine 64g chunk of the historic Sikhote-Alin meteorite - a mass of nickel-iron that fell in the USSR during daylight on Feb. 12, 1947. (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/calendar/sikhote.html) An artist who witnessed the fall made a painting that was used on a Russian stamp 10 years later in 1957 (http://www.concentric.net/~Farmerm/stamps.htm).

Neither the physics nor the dynamic propulsion need be confusing, sport. I'd sort of like to go to the CC meeting because I could kick some ass, in a mild way. On the other hand, I don't particularly want to drive there and back for just a meeting. If the 17th is no good, I skip the meeting, no foul no penalty, and drive in on the 18th. If the 17th is good, I can go to the meeting, claim gas expense at the "my convenience" rate, 10 1/2 cents per mile, mildly kick a little ass, and get into town without the beach crowds or whatever it is that seems to infest that area on Saturday mornings in this century. By the way, some two-bit outfit installed a cell repeater on top of Bowerman ridge, should beam right into the canyon. Problem is, it's a two-bit outfit, and probably isn't too economical outside the boonies, and I could get a ground line for about the same price and have internet. By the time I move back there for good, we'll have direct satellite hookups and no problem.

My two cents are:
No, the friction coefficient is more slippery near the bottom of the slope since by the time you arrive there you are well into the range of dynamic friction whereas at the slope's lip before the slide caused the dip the friction was static and far from eratic. And as everybody college boy knows the coefficient of static friction is always > the coefficient of dynamic friction.

So, what the nurd is saying is that once you slip, for instance by banning the guy's thoughts of stroking children, you're into the dynamic coefficient and can keep on slipping on stuff that would be harder to slip on the first time? This is what I feared-- Ann Coulter is wrong! The slipperiest stuff is on the top, and the less slippery stuff is on the bottom. According to Glint, if you make that first slip you don't even need a freaking slope! The whole damn thing is as slippery as snot on a glass doorknob once you ban book one. Jesus Christ, I'm going to have to re-think my opinion of Ann Coulter. She may be good for only one thing.

Why is friction on the foot mus and not ff?
Anonymous.
- Friday, August 10, 2001 at 12:25:24 (EDT)
My two cents are:
In other words, assume there exists a foot somewhere that is interfacing with a floor. Assuming your foot is not slipping, you have a static coefficient of friction
on the foot (mus). Values for static coefficient of friction provided in
texts are upper limits, that is the static coefficient of friction for a
particular situation is <= mus(max). So you can compute the static
coefficient of friction for each moment in stance by dividing the
perpendicular force (to the platform), by the parallel force.
There's a wealth of literature on this subject. Basically you have static
and dynamic coefficient of friction. Start with "Slips, Stumbles, and Falls:
Pedestrian and Footwear Surfaces," edited by Everett Gray, ASTM STP 1103,
1990.

The slippery slope (it doesn't have to be slippery or a slope) involves the two coefficients of friction - the static and the dynamic coefficients. The slide down or across the slippery or non-slippery slope or plane begins once the former gives way to the latter.

My two cents are:
Since the Hyde Amendment over 20-years ago, and throughout both Democratic- and Republican-controlled congresses, there has been a strict prohibition on federal funding of the destruction of the earliest forms of life. Now, thanks to Bush, this fire-wall has been breached. Another abortion-funding issue that might now, logically, be jeopardized is the Mexico City policy which prohibits funding of international organizations that perform or promote abortions, which Bush supports and which the House narrowly upheld in May,
Another "slippery slope?"

My two cents are:
The pit-golem is keeping up the tradition of roundly mocking Gore for his beard. He has taken the round mocking to new and poetic heights. Gore is more toast with every post.

Don't worry about the beard. It's been taken care of. He was roundly mocked, and will loose in 2004 because of it, if he chooses to run.

Al Gore - a biography
largely based on the German book by
Peter Neumann: Al Gore. Eine Biographie. DVA, Stuttgart, Munich, 2000, 195 p.
Article added on September 4
Carthage is a village with 2,500 souls, situated a one hour's drive east of Nashville, Tennessee's capital. As so many soldiers did, Al Gore's ancestors got a farm as a reward for their efforts in the War of Independence. They received the farmland before Tennessee joined the American Union in 1796. The Gores, descendants of English Baptists, remained small peasants. Allen Gore was born in 1869. Among his friends was Cordell Hull who became a lawyer, was elected in the House of Representatives in 1907, ended his political career as FDR's Secretary of State, and was awarded Peace Nobel Prize in 1945 for his efforts to build the United Nations. In all those years, he kept in contact with the Gores. The father of today's presidential candidate, Al Gore Sr., was born in 1907 as the only son of Allen. He went to college and became the principal of the small school in Carthage. Inspired by the political debates between his father and Cordell Hull, he entered a career in public office. He first served as Smith County Superintendent of Schools - he finished second in the election, but due to the sudden death of the winner, he was soon promoted to held the office.
Pauline LaFon was a girl from a Huguenot merchant family from Arkansas who had lost almost their entire fortune in the world economic crisis. As Al Gore Sr., she had to struggle to finance her years in college, so worked in a restaurant. That's where she met Al. She married him in 1937 and became his close advisor. Gore worked for one year as government representative at Tennessee's Department of Labor. In 1938, the constituency in which Carthage lies became vacant. Al Gore Sr. won the race and was elected to the House of Representatives where he stayed until 1952, when he began 18 years as Senator. He was a populist, cunning and rooted in the soil of the Southern countryside. In 1956, he closely missed the nomination for candidate for the Vice Presidency on the Democratic ticket. Although Gore Sr. was no active advocate of the advancement of African-Americans, he was one of only two Southern Senators who opposed the Southern Manifesto, which held up the racial discrimination and its old formula "separate but equal". Gore is the author and sponsor of the bill that lead to the creation of the Interstate Highway system. He was also a leader on tax reform and defense policy. Later, he opposed the Vietnam war, which contributed greatly to his defeat in the 1970 Senate race. After the defeat, he worked as a lawyer and businessman. His wife Pauline had been the second women to graduate from Vanderbilt Law School. Although the Gores were a modern couple, she had abandoned her career according to the conservative tradition in the South where a woman had to stand behind her husband. After Gore's defeat in 1970, she returned to her original vocation as a lawyer and served as a mentor to women considering legal careers. Al Gore Sr. died in 1998 at the age of 91.
Al Gore Jr. was born in 1948 in Washington, D.C. He grew up on the family farm in Carthage, Tennessee, and in Washington, where his parents worked most of the year. As Senator, Gore Sr. no longer had the time to work on his farm and therefore hired a steward, William Thompson. The Thompsons became something like a second family to Al Gore Jr. His sister Nancy, ten years older than him, studied law at the Vanderbilt University in Nashville and became one of the co-founders of the Peace Corps, initiated by John F. Kennedy. She worked for several international organizations in Europe and then returned to Tennessee, married a lawyer from Mississippi, and together they worked as calf breeders. Nancy died in 1984 from lung cancer - she had been a chain smoker.
Al Gore Jr. went to St. Alban's, an elite convent-school. He played basketball and football, in the last year as captain of the school's team. In May 1965, at St. Alban's Senior Prom he met Mary Elizabeth Aitcheson, called Tipper. She is six months younger than him. Gore ended a three year relationship with another girl and began to date Tipper, whose parents had divorced when she was three. She had grown up with her mother and become a self-confident young woman - quite like Gore's sister Nancy. Tipper played in a girls band called The Wildcats. After she graduated, she followed Al to Boston where she studied at Garland College and at Boston University, receiving a B.A. in Psychology. In 1975, she earned a Master's Degree in Psychology at George Peabody College at Vanderbilt University. She worked as a photo-journalist at The Tennessean until her husband was elected to Congress in 1976. In 1985, she co-founded the Parents' Music Resource Center (PMRC), along with Susan Baker. It aims to give parents a greater ability to protect their children from inappropriate material in popular culture. The "Parental Advisory- Explicit Lyrics" warnings on CDs - a somewhat counterproductive measure since it attracts certain children to these "forbidden" CDs - is a result of the PMRC's fight for consumer labels on music with violent or explicit lyrics. Tipper Gore wrote her first book in 1987: Raising PG Kids in an X-Rated Society. Gore's partner on the Democratic presidential ticket, Senator Joseph Lieberman, shares the same concerns and has repeatedly attacked Hollywood for showing to much sex and violence in its movies. Tipper Gore is also an advocate for the homeless, co-founded and chaired Families for the Homeless in 1986, a non-partisan partnership of families that tries to raise public awareness of homeless. The Gores have four children, born between 1973 and 1982.
At the age of seventeen, Al Gore Jr. went to Boston's Harvard University where he majored in Government. Among his friends where later actor Tommy Lee Jones, comedian Bob Somerby and today's respected artist Michael Kapitan. Gore's roommate was John Tyson, an African-American football player from New Jersey who works at present as a businessman and development aid worker in Africa. In the mid 1960s, it was still unusual for a white student - especially from the South - to share a room with a black kid. At Harvard, Gore also met Roger Revelle, a professor for geophysics and oceanography. Revelle was one of the first to prove that CO2 was increasing in the atmosphere. Years before the Club of Rome published its famous report, Gore was interested in ecology. In his semester holidays, he worked as a messenger boy at the New York Times. He also went to the University of Mexico City where he improved his Spanish - which helps him still today in his contact with Spanish speaking voters (by the way, George W. Bush junior is also fluent in Spanish, so this gives Gore no advantage in the presidential race).
Al Gore Jr. was opposed to the Vietnam war. In a letter to his father he called America's anti-communism "a paranoia", "national obsession" and "psychological illness". He even compared the US Army to a fascist regime. At Harvard in the 1960s, this was not uncommon. But Gore was never a radical student and not part of the major demonstrations taking place in those years. He smoked joints for ten years until 1976 - and in contrast to Clinton, he admits he also inhaled. Gore says he stopped that habit when first running for the House of Representatives.
In 1969, after Gore had made his B.A. in Government from Harvard, he decided to serve in Vietnam. If he had not done it, somebody else in Carthage would have been sent to war. The draft list was no secret in such a small place. It would have been impossible for him to walk down the village's main street with a clear conscience. Furthermore, his father was soon to be re-elected. Since he was openly opposed to the war, it would have been a huge handicap, had his son refused to serve in Vietnam. In the South, patriotism was important. In May 1970, while he was in the Army, Al Gore junior married Tipper at the pompous Washington Cathedral in the American capital. Tommy Lee Jones, Bob Somerby, Michael Kapitan and other friends from Harvard attended the ceremony. Gore Sr. posed in his uniform from the Second World War - which he had never used. In September of that year, shortly before the election, Gore Jr. got his call for Vietnam. Despite the clever timing, Al Gore Sr. lost his 1970 Senate race. According to veteran Newsweek journalist Bill Turque, Gore served only five months rather than the standard year because the Nixon White House, backing Senator Gore's Republican opponent, delayed Gore Jr.'s ship-over date until after the election so that Gore Sr. could not use his son's military service as an argument in the campaign.
Al Gore Jr. served as army journalist from Christmas 1970 until May 1971. The 21-year-old Gore did not have a dangerous job. In Bien Hoa, he was not in direct contact with the front. He once wrote an article about an attack by twelve Vietcong rebels, but as Peter Neumann asserts in his biography, in reality, Gore was not even at the place where the attack took place. He just questioned soldiers involved. Later, Gore spiced up his description of his years in the army. He told Vanity Fair that he had regularly served as a guard and that they first shot at people moving at night and only asked questions afterwards. But a friend in Vietnam admitted that neither he nor Gore were ever guards - exclusively South Vietnamese soldiers were assigned to this task at their camp.
When Gore came back to Carthage in May 1971, he was deeply affected by what he had experienced in Vietnam. Together with his father and a friend of the family, he founded the Tanglewood Home Builders enterprise, specializing in building family homes near Carthage. This experience did not help him to fill his inner vacuum and he decided to study theology and philosophy at the Vanderbilt University Divinity School in Nashville, Tennessee, from 1971 to 1972. In retrospect, Gore asserts that this period was extremely valuable since it gave him the possibility to ask the right questions. At Divinity School, he made an important step in the direction of environmental politics. The seminary of Eugene TeSelles on "religion and natural sciences" proved to be particularly precious. On its reading list was the then newly published (first) report of the Club of Rome. On his first day at university, Gore also started working - as an investigative journalist - for the Nashville Tennessean. The editor, John Siegenthalter, was a good friend of the Gores. Al Gore Jr. had already written the above-mentioned article from Vietnam for the Nashville newspaper. In the summer of 1973, at the expenses of the Tennessean, Gore took a two-week seminary on investigative journalism at Columbia University in New York. At the Nashville Metro Council, he discovered irregularities and corruption. The highlight of his career should have been the trial of a corrupt black politician. Although the evidence seemed to be clear, the jury decided not to condemn the politician (In 1988 Gore claimed in an interview that he had sent a lot of politicians to prison - one of his famous "embellishments"). Gore was shocked and disappointed and decided to stop theology, switching to the Vanderbilt Law School (1974-76). He complemented his studies in Harvard.
In 1976, Gore run for the House of Representative in Tennessee. His father's name was a great advantage, but Gore Jr. run the campaign on his own, without the help of the former senator. Only his mother - as campaign manager - was active in his race for Congress. Gore won the Democratic nomination with only 30% of the votes, but at the election he made 96%: the Republicans had no candidate.
unopposed gore got just 96% of the vote! <BWAAAAHAAAHAHAHAAA!!!>

Personally, I appreciate Bush's leadership in the matter of freeing us of the tired old Puritan work ethic this country has been saddled with. He is leading us out of the land of overtime and extra shifts, toward a more European approach to life. I will strongly support his call for legislation mandating 6 weeks of summer vacation for every working adult. Go George go.

The real mystery is where did that stupid story come from and what is it trying to say? Bill's book deal "overshadowed" the big story about Gore? Otherwise it would have been in all the headlines? Then there's the striking difference in the way the two have been received: Clinton does the snake dance to wild acclaim in Harlem, and Gore is mocked for growing a beard. Clearly, oh so clearly, Gore's "Clinton problem" hasn't gone away and will kill him in 2004. You chuckle easy, Glint.

So Air Force 1 is spending the month in Waco, I hear. Hey, MK, looks like we're at opposite poles of the axis on which the world turns - Waco and the beltway. <> Here's a little news that's good for a chuckle: "To Al Gore, it must seem an exasperatingly familiar phenomenon: Every time he's about to step into the spotlight, his former boss comes along and robs him of the moment. This time, it was former President Bill Clinton's record-breaking book deal that splashed across front pages, overshadowing reports that Mr. Gore was preparing to take his first steps back into political life. The contrast between the way the two men have been received is striking. Six months after Mr. Clinton left office under a cloud of questionable pardons, he was welcomed with open arms by cheering crowds in New York, as well as much of the media - cable networks even preempted a speech by President Bush to televise Clinton's Harlem homecoming. Gore, who won the popular vote last November, has been sharply criticized for remaining silent on issues like the environment, and roundly mocked for his newly grown beard and his expanded waistline. Clearly, Gore's 'Clinton problem,' which many believe may have cost him the 2000 election, hasn't gone away - and may continue to make things difficult for him, should he decide to run in 2004." Better than the other way around. Let the crowds fawn over cist dick. Keeping Gore out of office means it won't be necessary to impeach him too.

If that was a war, why didn't they call up the National Guard? Of course, that would have left the skies of Texas undefended, for one thing, but in a war you have to throw everything you got at them, don't you? Isn't that how it is supposed to be, get Congress to declare war, call up the guard? Never did understand why they didn't do that.

I have never understood why they didn't string her up when she stepped off the plane. I suspect that it was the socialist Jew, Kissinger, who somehow got to the president and saved her treasonous ass. Either that or she didn't do anything illegal. As far as adhering to the gooks and giving them comfort, hell, that was what the whole thing was about. About two-thirds of the country was actively engaged in trying to end the war and hand the southern gook to the northern gook and get our ass out of there. Nixon gave more comfort to the gooks by leading with his jaw or by appointing Kissinger or by sucking Chou En-lai's dick than Jane Fonda and the Chicago Seven put together could have done by cheering every AA crew in Hanoi.

He was snarling at the end of his leash like a pit-bull. But his feet hurt, and then Nixon made peace with honor and it was too late for the golem to take any scalps. Cut him some slack.

The odd thing about Jane in Viet Nam, usually she was full of shit and every time she opened her mouth idiotic nonsense spouted out. But in the Nam, everything she is quoted as saying was pretty much correct. Was somebody feeding her lines? She was even right about Nixon not being able to break the spirit of the blushing war girls, poets just like the golem, but a little harder inside. Was this all a coincidence, she just had a lucky streak and talked like an intelligent human being for a week or two? I never understood how Clinton's nice letter to the colonel pisses the troglodytes so much. The kid is trying to apologize, in a sort of juvenile soul-searching way, but shit, he was just a kid and the yahoos were shoveling bombs onto the heads of blushing poet girls. It was a time ot mild rhetorical excess, but at least the rhetoric was about actual feelings about actual events, and not a poor retard schizzing on Mara Liasson's eyebrows or spotting evil socialists in the gummy-bear bin.

My two cents are:
The decision not to be a resister and the related subsequent decisions were the most difficult of my life. I decided to accept the draft in spite of my beliefs for one reason: to maintain my political viability within the system. For years I have worked to prepare myself for a political life characterized by both practical political ability and concern for rapid social progress. It is a life I still feel compelled to try to lead. I do not think our system of government is by definition corrupt, however dangerous and inadequate it has been in recent years. (The society may be corrupt, but that is not the same thing, and if that is true we are all finished anyway.)
When the draft came, despite political convictions, I was having a hard time facing the prospect of fighting a war I had been fighting against, and that is why I contacted you. ROTC was the one way left in which I could possibly, but not positively, avoid both Vietnam and resistance. Going on with my education, even coming back to England, played no part in my decision to join ROTC. I am back here, and would have been at Arkansas Law School because there is nothing else I can do. After I signed the ROTC letter of intent I began to wonder whether the compromise I had made with myself was not more objectionable than the draft would have been, because I had no interest in the ROTC program in itself and all I seemed to have done was to protect myself from physical harm. Also, I began to think I had deceived you.

My two cents are:
Dissent is a First Amendment right, but Jane Fonda crossed the line between dissent and treason when she made her infamous trip to North Vietnam in August 1972. She met with POWs and encouraged them to cooperate with their captors.
She visited a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft battery, donned a helmet and cheered as the NVA soldiers fired at U.S. aircraft. These were acts for which she paid no price. There was no prosecution, no penalty.
The Constitution is clear: "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."
In the summer of 1972, Jane Fonda paid a two-week visit to North Vietnam, against whom U.S. forces were fighting. On Aug. 22, 1972, on a broadcast from Radio Hanoi she said this to the American troops, describing her experience in North Vietnam:
"This is Jane Fonda. . . . I've had the opportunity to visit a great many places and speak to a large number of people from all walks of life.
"I cherish the memory of the blushing militia girls . . . who are so gentle and poetic . . . but who, when American planes are bombing their city, become such good fighters.
"It was on the road back from Nam Dinh, where I had witnessed the systematic destruction of civilian targets.
"As I left the United States two weeks ago, Nixon was again telling the American people that he was winding down the war, but in the rubble-strewn streets of Nam Dinh, his words echoed with sinister (words indistinct) of a true killer.
"Nixon will never be able to break the spirit of these people; he'll never be able to turn Vietnam, north and south, into a neo-colony of the United States..
"I don't think that the people of Vietnam are about to compromise in any way, shape or form about the freedom and independence of their country, and I think Richard Nixon would do well to read Vietnamese history."
Imagine such a broadcast coming from a U.S. citizen in Berlin or Tokyo during World War II. A trial on treason charges would have been certain.

I think that we can all agree, conservatives and fetus-scrapers alike, that this is a pretty dang compassionate compromise.

Are they going to develop stuff they can inject into Bonzo's brain and make him remember how to toe a chalk line and read from a telepropter?

Nevertheless, the anger she exhibits probably translates into wild monkey sex. Unfortunately, her twat is probably pussed over or sewn shut. Her foul mouth may do just fine assuming the fangs don't cause bloodshed.

My two cents are:
The ACLU's speech exception to the pornography amendment//-- THE ACLU is getting a lot of credit these days for defending our precious First Amendment right to scribble sadistic child pornography. Convicted child pornographer Brian Dalton recently pleaded guilty in an Ohio court to a second pandering offense. He later claimed his journal was intended to be used exclusively as his private masturbatory aid, winning the undying devotion of self-proclaimed civil libertarians.
People seem to take enormous psychic satisfaction in defending Brian Dalton's creepy journal. Oh sure, we get the dutiful statements of personal revulsion at Dalton's fantasies. But, oddly, the more repellent his writings are, the more they give Dalton's defenders the self-satisfying sensation of rising above the angry mob calling for his head.
It doesn't matter that there is no angry mob, since everyone is with Dalton. Still, there could be an angry mob.
Defending counterintuitive positions makes people feel like abstract intellectuals, capable of grasping the larger point beyond the ken of the little people. But just because something is counterintuitive doesn't make it true. (College students everywhere, just beginning to practice this annoying pretension, are staring blankly at that last sentence.)
Acceding to the nonexistent pressure from hoi polloi and punishing Dalton for his journal, the argument goes, would be the first step on a slippery slope to fascist thought police banning all controversial opinion.
Slippery slope arguments are always stupid. Please stop making them. What people think they mean by "slippery slope" is that the principle at the top of the slope is indistinguishable from the principle at the bottom of the slope. That's a bad principle argument, not a "slippery slope" argument.
For a slippery slope argument to work, what is at the bottom of the slope must be more horrifying than what is at the top of the slope. Obviously, therefore, there's a difference between the top and the bottom. If you can see a difference, so can the law. That's how we end up with exceptions to general rules.
At this very moment, for example, you are prohibited from engaging in speech that: expropriates the official NBC logo, reveals Coca-Cola's secret formula, defames a private person, would likely incite violence, unduly exploits someone else's work, is a false boast about a product, gives investment advice without registering with the SEC, is too loud, or rebroadcasts Hugo Zacchini's entire human cannonball act (see Zacchini v. Scripps-Howard Broadcasting Co.).
And yet somehow the dark night of fascism has not descended over America. Indeed, no one gives these speech exceptions a moment's thought. They are not sufficiently counterintuitive to tweak the pseudo-intellectual instinct.
Dalton's journal is obscene -- an exception to free speech with a longer pedigree than many other exceptions. If criminalizing Dalton's journal today means the thought police will be confiscating Republican Party pamphlets tomorrow, why didn't prohibiting the Gay Olympics from using the Olympic trademark do the same?
Even more galling than the intellectual pretensions and annoying arguments of Dalton's defenders is hearing the ACLU praised for its stalwart defense of the First Amendment. This is on the order of congratulating William Tecumseh Sherman for his defense of the South.
In its take-no-prisoners approach to the First Amendment, the ACLU brought a lawsuit against the Lubbock Independent School District demanding that high school students' extracurricular, private religious speech be banned. The ACLU's anti-speech position has been repeatedly rejected by the Supreme Court, including just last term in Good News Club v. Milford Central School.
The ACLU won a prior restraint prohibiting an Avis employee from using a specified set of derogatory words in the workplace in Aguilar v. Avis Rent A Car System. The late Justice Stanley Mosk, a liberal, dissented from the California Supreme Court's endorsement of this novel interpretation of the First Amendment, noting that the injunction banned speech that other employees would never even hear. It was mind control, pure and simple.
The ACLU has argued that a private employer's irritating religious statements to an employee were not protected expression and could be banned as a violation of the establishment clause. The Oregon Supreme Court unanimously rejected the ACLU's position in Meltebeke v. Bureau of Labor and Industries.
Taking another "absolutist" view of the free speech clause, the ACLU argued that the University of Virginia was required to deny student activity funds to a religious magazine, Wide Awake. In Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of University of Virginia, the Supreme Court held that the denial violated religious students' free-speech rights.
The Massachusetts ACLU argued that the organizers of a St. Patrick's Day parade did not have free-speech rights to exclude a contingent of gay marchers. The Supreme Court unanimously reversed in Hurley v. Irish-American Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Group of Boston. (The national ACLU, realizing the jig was up, filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court taking no clear position).
Listening to the ACLU on speech may not be a "slippery slope," but it's a bad principle. The ACLU would see that Dalton's journal is obscene only if it mentioned the Creator or referred to females as "broads."

Shooting Stars! Viewer's Guide to the Perseid Meteor Shower
"...The return of the Perseid meteor shower marks one of the most rewarding skywatching events of the year. No matter how many other night sky shows fail to meet expectations, the Perseids rarely falter...The best times to watch will be the overnight hours on Aug. 11/12 and Aug. 12/13, astronomers say. The peak is forecast to occur Aug. 12, between 14h and 17h UT, or Universal Time, said Arlt. Unfortunately, that's 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. EDT. Observers in Hawaii should see the peak under dark skies in the very morning of August 12..."

Did you catch the part about young Al, aged 11, who toured the FBI and asked for souvineer shooting targets? Said the targets were mailed to the Sen. without cover letter. Could imagine the look on his face when he opened up that envelope! Wonder if he got the point?

No blackouts here. I have a Sharper Image hand-crank flashlight for the observatory. For the telescope I have a sealed rechargable 12v/12A-h battery, and a second as a backup. The weakness here is that should the power go out it will not be possible to recharge. So last night I picked up a solar cell at a Karioke bar from another astronomer so that all observatory power, if needed, will be either hand crank or solar charged cells.

Yet it's interesting how these things happen, and it will be interesting to watch it all unfold if you don't have a lot to lose.

Finally, not to be harsh about it, don't you think you could spend your time a little more effectively by worrying about the cows next door rather than sticking your beak into the Texas cow question? What business is it of yours? Don't you have enough local cows to worry about? Some day you're going to turn around after jawboning about Bush's cows forever and find that there are 600,000 of them standing knee-deep in mud and cow-flop on the other side of the city line. Try to tend your own garden first, and then start worrying about out-of-state bovines.

My two cents are:
The hammering nails, he's just playing catch-up with Jimmy Carter. Maybe he thinks it will help him grow lips. Jimmy has enough lip meat to equip an entire drunk-tank full of Bush family members. The cows are about Texas. This is a small-town Texas boy who fought his way to riches, so naturally he had to acquire some cows. It's hard to say what the golf is all about. All presidents play a lot of golf, except maybe Carter didn't, but all the others for sure, at least since Eisenhower anyway. Ike played more golf in a month than Bush will play his entire presidency, and he saved the nation from.... well, he saved the nation. Maybe he saved it from Alger Hiss, ask Glint's dad. Either way, this is a working vacation, and you can bet that George is hitting the books pretty hard, plotting strategy, and wrestling with the moral question of whether to thaw out the 200,000 human embryos languishing in American fertility clinics and bring them to term as the Pope told him to. Who will change all their diapers when they come out of the test-tubes, is one problem that has to be solved.

Do you really think we can afford to let that happen? No, somebody has to stay here and fight for that hill-top. I can't say that I'm the best man or woman for the job, but if nobody else will help, so be it. When you sign on for a war you sign on for the whole shitaree, right up to and including the wild post-war frenzy of guillotining the collaborators. If anyone wants to join in, so much the better-- that's what patriotism is all about. On the other hand, if Fornigate has been interfering with your television viewing, don't worry about it. For some strange reason, I have a feeling that I can handle these two characters all by myself.

You guys are cracking walnuts in your ass. Pete is a rock. What's wrong with Fornigate is that there are no political issues left. Gary Condit is just a poor man's Wilbur Mills. Cher is over the hill. Even Leeza Gibbons is running out of steam. Henry Hyde hasn't had a piece of fresh nookie since he was a youth of 47. What are we supposed to talk about, the fact that Tom Cruise and that famous actess he was married to, the one that dwarfed him, are splitting up the community property? Don't make me laugh. It's all been going down hill since Oprah crushed the Texas Meat Board. Where the hell is that f*cking liberal, Pee Wee Herman when we need him? This board has no suitable topics. Our policy expertise is no longer needed. Everything is back on an even keel now that Bush is talking to the cows, and has seen the honesty in The Butcher of Chechnya's eyes. Fornigate always thrived on important political questions, like how high Dan Rather was lifting his eyebrows. There was always something to learn here, like what a Cuban doctor was trying to sneak into the country to drug children with, and how the moons of Jupiter were discovered by Masai tribesmen hired to stand by the road when the tourist convoy went past, or what David Duke had to say about the Jews on Wall Street. It's all gone now, and we're left squabbling about whether Pete is just over-reved or whether he's a total asshole. Let's hang it up.

I'M the catcher. Or am I the Walrus? I think it's the catcher. In the rye. Paul is the Walrus. Or maybe John. I'm here holding up my end of the world, on fornigate. I'd like to read the Wall Street Journal, cut out the editorials and put them in my scrapbook next to the Jodie Foster pictures. But I can't, because I am the Walrus, and have to watch the cliff. Someday Fess will come and give me his gun and I can guard the cliff even better. I'll keep the good people from falling off, though, because I am the Catcher or maybe the Walrus, if Paul isn't the Walrus. Sometimes my wheels keep going faster and faster but only steam comes out my ears and they fall off the cliff and become liberal, one by one. That is why I need Fess to bring the gun. Fess?

Waiter or clerk, tailor or paralegal, I think that the guy is just reved up with nothing to do with the RPM's. He's spinning wheels out there in fantasy-land, outraged at stuff that nobody else can see. A first-rate guy inside a third-rate brain and fourth-rate personality. Sometimes a little steam escapes when the boiler fire is stoked, and he starts talking about Fess Parker or about pussed-over twats. He thinks he deserves better than to recite the dessert menu to a bunch of rich socialists and buff bitches who wouldn't spit on him. His only problem is his RPM's, a mind that can spin out on hot tar. Cut the guy some slack, and sit quietly as he calls you an evil traitor for the seven-hundredth time, or allows as how your twat is pussed over and sewn shut, but your foul mouth will do fine.

My two cents are:
I believe that Pete was really a waiter. I believe that he still is a waiter, probably in one of the beach hotels. It's a pretty good scam for a big guy with hands that can balance a tray loaded with eats. Plus a waiter can listen to snatches of conversation, maybe even serve Fess Parker or Dorothy Hamill or whoever is pretending to be the lead singer on the Ink Spots this year, and doesn't have to depend entirely on the radio for his view of what the big people are doing. My current theory is therefore that we are dealing with a waiter who still has the arm, and is backed by quick, practiced bus-boys, and who gets up an hour early to memorize the specials. There's nothing shameful about waiting table. Where would we be if nobody brought the mahi-mahi?

Dog's problem was he didn't have an imagination that could believe in the Oklahoma cheerleader. To him it looked like bullshit, so his play on it never was as good as it could have been. He was the kind of guy who would believe in Patience Willoughby before he could swallow the latest instance of Pete trying to puff himself up. I don't think he ever even believed that Pete and Fess Parker were buddies. Oh, he gave it a shot, but he needed something real to work off. The Monty Python stuff never seemed serious enough to laugh at.

As Glint has let it be known, Fornigate has lost its way because there are no longer any "issues." It seems that nobody but back-bench Blue Dog Democrat congressmen are porking interns and getting caught any more. Where are the pumpkin-shooters and pest-control bumpkins who made the late '90's such a policy-oriented period? Where are the lovelorn girls, young enough to be Jeremiah's ugly daughter, who can honestly suspect that their powerful paramours are somehow jerking off into sinks rather than using the pillow-case like a white man? What is there left in this dull century that can inspire us to dress up like smoking materials and parade in front of public architectural monuments? Where are the men of great and grave responsibility sleeping at switches? We have been reduced to following the night-club booking of John Tesh and trying to catch Jenna pretending to make out with her girl chum in the front row at the 'N Sync concert, just to hurt the old man the way he hurt HIS old man. We are left mulling over the bygone rapes of former presidents, the violent taking of starlets and political groupies, the quality of fellation provide by past presidential wives to second-tier British hams. God it would be nice if anything real was happening, if there were any important issues left.

Bruce Rosen was a Jew. Guess you could tell that by the name. Everybody had to read some Plato the first year, same as when the late lamented Pete was at San Pedro JC, so naturally when they sucked the sugar-cube they parablized on the cave. These are the kinds of things that pop into the head when you're riffing with the dog and others, like a mythical buff Oklahoma cheerleader with the clean yet slightly pungent air of cotton panties wafting about her. Ydog picked up on all of it, but best of all, and what marked him as an intelligent observer, he remembered it. Pete and even Glint thought they were reading it for the first time when he mounted it as a Christmas treat. When it was just a cut and paste of a few days around Christmas a year or two previously. The lesson may be that those who can't remember the past are doomed to become appreciative Rush Limbaugh plans. The mean nattering on the airways becomes their substitute for what they have experienced but can't remember and didn't understand to begin with.

With Eleanor, the poor fucker just went at it with the biggest verbal blunt instuments he found laying around in his wrinkle-free brain. He figured he couldn't cut through her cool breeziness so he decided to smash it. All under the retroactive guise of satire. The only interesting thing about all this is why he has this need to kick women in the cunt.

EDINBURGH (Reuters) - The Bangkok ``Ladyboys'' are beset by breast problems. First their silicone implants hardened in the chilly Scottish climate and now a fetishist has stolen a pair of conical fake breasts.
``It could be the ultimate compliment from a fan -- stealing a bra. How close do you want to be?'' said Tony Wilkie-Miller, spokesman for the transvestite cabaret that is one of the big hits at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
``They are size 38DD. We don't do anything by halves. These fake breasts are used by Ladyboys who have not yet had breast implants. Either they are on hormones that have not kicked in or are saving up for the operation,'' he told Reuters.
The thief broke into the circus compound where the female impersonators are performing in an Edinburgh park and stole the bras along with two wigs, two pairs of black tights and a pair of shoes.
``Because the Ladyboys are men, their feet are broader. They look like a bloke's shoes with high heels. If you want to spot a Ladyboy in a crowd, look at the feet. That is one part that cannot be surgically altered,'' he said.
``They are very, very bemused by this. At first they were angry. Now they are treating it as a kinky joke,'' Wilkie-Miller said.
He had three theories about the theft -- it could have been a practical joker, a determined souvenir hunter or ``it is someone with a kinky fetish.''
Security has now been tightened backstage for the ''Ladyboys,'' whose tour had already become frontpage news back in Bangkok when they revealed that the Edinburgh weather was playing havoc with their breast implants.
Leading cabaret star Tor Athapon complained that his finest assets ``became hard in the cold weather. I had to massage them back into shape.''

There is no way for Bush to do anything but make things worse, and since he's a Republican he'll make things a lot worse. Bill probably would have preferred to skate, but he didn't like the old man and felt it would be fun to set the boy up. I guess the only thing wrong with this theory is that Calvin Coolidge could have made little Bush look bad, it seems way too easy for Clinton to have bothered with.

He will not lose to woman, that would be the ultimate blow to his manhood.

Interesting how the liberals love to keep this momentary few posts as the whole essence of this site. The final parting with the E*-vile witcha ctually took less than about a day in the life of Fornigate. A blink on a gnat's eye. But the liberals love to keep that ball aloft as their usual dodge cause the truth is they ran out of anything to say that they ahdn't already lied about. I like to think they actually found a conscience. In truth, it is because they could not stand the realization that they were losers and lost. Big time. Fun to watch them dodge, though. Keeps us sharp on our toes for the next anticipated wave of lies and distortions out of these traitors.

Clinton got a pass because they perceived that he was still on the phone from the Oral Office calling shots for the DNC fund raisers even though his pants were around down his ankles. Bush's sin is considered worse because although he's not serving up protein to fortify an intern's diet he is "away from the office." It's a wonder their brains can do such gymnastics without getting charlie horses.

Hi Glint, talk about working it, is that Candy Cane man story all from the dog? I thought this place was still a free for all forum with thick and thin skins alike. I did nto realize one must bend to a rating system, especially when socialsits defend their president's rapes and stuff. Oh well, I guess there is a lot to still learn of the liebral mind. And darn I should have known they had such sensitive skins when shown the error in their own ways. I guess its too late to say sorry. Life moves on...paper gets crumpled, especially if LSD is involved while reading THE allegory. Perhaps the epiphany was his imagination all along. I'm not sure, I know that the highway is long and dusty and there are a lot of cars along the way. This place always let us look into the cars at the people without banging the bumpers....sad really....

Ray, however, may stay on until May to tie up loose ends. "The investigation has been terminated," he said in an interview. "Does that mean the office shuts down, the lights turn out? No."
Ray succeeded Ken Starr in 1999 after the wide-ranging probe led to Clinton's impeachment.

Lawyers say U.S. Supremes damaged
August 7, 2001
BY ABDON M. PALLASCH LEGAL AFFAIRS REPORTER
The infamous Florida election recount and all the lawyering it involved has taught Americans at least one valuable lesson, said Kendall Coffey, one of Al Gore's Florida lawyers:
"You can now officially litigate anything in America--something as sacred as the outcome of the Super Bowl may now be fair game,'' he told American Bar Association conventioneers in Chicago Monday.
Americans largely accepted the U.S. Supreme Court's extraordinary action in stopping the recounts and declaring President Bush the winner because they were tired of court battles, he said.
"There's just so much appetite for lawyers that any public can have,'' he said.
The election battle is the subject of seminars and hallway conversations here. More than any other legal issue in the past year, this one captivated Americans and shaped their thinking about the U.S. legal system, lawyers here say.
In his opening address to the convention, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer said, "These cases have produced less public comment about their most remarkable characteristic: the fact that losers as well as winners will abide by the result, and so will the public."
Lawyers for both sides said Monday they hope the experience proves a valuable "civics lesson" for Americans.
But Coffey said he fears long-term damage to the Supreme Court's reputation for their abrupt decision to stop the recount before issuing their ruling.
"When they said 'stop counting votes,' we believed Gore was a few hours away from pulling ahead,'' Coffey said.
Surprisingly, Bush's attorney Barry Richard agreed with Coffey that the Supreme Court should not have stopped the voting--though unlike Coffey, Richard supported the court's ultimate decision.
"I think that stay did more damage to the U.S. Supreme Court than anything they did," Richard said. "They wanted to protect themselves [against having a recount declare Gore the winner before they invalidated the recount]. I think it was a mistake."

The launching of corpses, sometimes a shipload at a time, and the whining as the corpses were raining down thudding all around him. If it would bring them back I could start wishing Gore had won the election. Oh well, that's not gonna happen, is it? Thank goodness!

I agree that it was hard to keep a good plot going in the right direction, and frustrating when the best and the brightest characters (or worse and worstest) kept getting killed off. But, hey, that's what resurrection's all about. Aint it.

That's a reasonable thing to be, a pagan socialist. At least it's not an oxymoron, like Christian conservative. It could describe an altruistic empiricist, someone who doesn't believe in fairy tales but believes what Jesus said enough to realize that the Kingdom of God is among you if you love thy neighbor, etc. Jesus was of course himself a pagan, and not any sort of Christ, but he had the misfortune of posthumously falling into some great sales campaigns and his memory will always be corrupted. He's sort of the Rock Hudson of religion, never got to be himself long enough to fully express his potential. Ydog knows all this stuff, so you ought to track him down and lurk, listen, and learn. I don't have the time to explain it all to you.

Ydog is a smart, talented, likeable person who enjoys life and makes women feel good about themselves. He can be a little over-enthusiastic on a web board and need to be beaten into shape, but there are very few people who can accomplish that, actually only one that I know about. He probably is what you'd call a liberal, maybe even a socialist in some ways. It looks as if his hopes on election night didn't pan out. I'm not sure that Gore would have worked out in this poisonous atmosphere, and pretty sure that the Bush can't either. At best he'll be a sort of mop that soaks up the pent-up right-wing hormones over four years, and is chunked in the corner having served his purpose. This country can't work so good with 20% of its citizens having a hissy fit, so if Bush soaks it up and they run out of steam it will be OK to have appointed him. Onward and upward.

My two cents are:
It helps if you have context. For example, Bruce Rosen is a real person who really did do that with the paper. Ydog was a kid maybe eight or so at the time. Condit is a troglodyte who happens to have been one of the evil conservative politicians personally disrupting my job for the past eight years. Never as much a liberal Democrat as Jeffords was a reactionary Republican. He happened to have fucked a woman who disappeared, and there is no indication that he had anything to do with that. It's talk-show blather like Mara's eyebrows. On the other hand, if he did have something to do with it, it's several orders of magnitude different than getting a blowjob and obstructing an attempted political smear. Gore has gone to seed the way Nixon went to seed after he lost the California governor's race in '62, got wiped out by Pat Brown and went out on the road helping Republican congressional candidates. We have plenty of turmoil from Bush, it's just not obvious sex turmoil but it will hurt a lot more. This is where it pays to have the context rather than just the hope of how you would like things to be. Dismantling a form of government that has worked for two hundred years or even seventy years is a tricky thing, and there is going to be plenty of disaster and I don't think that what comes out the other end will be anything we really want. This has happened before at least twice in American history, unbeknowest to Pete and the talkshow hosts, or to people who don't know about history in general, and it will have to be corrected eventually after some hard times. Plenty to worry about any night, but I got mine, Jack.

I can't give book and verse for it, but I'll throw in this one just for fun>> Cynic/Crynic, If you had read the post earlier you could readily confirm for yourself that Gore is ahead and

The one about ydog fishing as a child, the serious one? I never liked it. Too forced. To tell you the truth, I've never been much impressed by Pete. Seems like a big baby to me, reved up but reved up on empty. No depth. No self-knowledge, occasional yelps of inner torment and truly embarassing stuff like my specialty is muff diving blah blah. I see someone who really wants to be smart, which is pretty dumb. His worthy foes don't come back, even though the sniffer is said to sniff at least 12 different people posting in a week, something like that. Silly to mention the sniffer, it's like the port 110 stuff. Nobody else ever tried to pull that kind of sorry self-aggrandisement, except MK, the poor bastard. I never heard of anyone making peace with Pete. Could have happened but I missed it. I know why those people bowed out, and part of it actually was the twat series. Who needs that kind of stuff? Aimed at a fairly stable, gentle lady, because she didn't buy the asinine lines about evil and traitor, the basic juvenile crap that the boy hands out. Way out of line, and no fun unless you can figure out a way to work it.

Bruce sitting cross-legged on the floor holding a piece of crumpled colored paper in his had, saying
that it was "striving paper", a shadow of paper cast on a smoky cave wall striving to become the thing
shadowed."

Besides the vanishing foes there is also the vanishing issues. Clinton's gone, going to take the money and run like his carpet bagging wife. Gore's gone to seed. Uh, let's see, oh yeah, Condit's a tin Clinton, same song second verse. People look at him and say, "yep, he's a lyin' just like BJ before him." Bush is working behind the scenes in Texas leaving the press and the left to natter about Jenna being spotted at this or that party. The absence of scandal so far in the administration is a soothing balm after the turmoil of the mistake called the Clinton presidency. Bush should never have used the "read my lips" sound bite. At least with the younger son as the other bookend to the Clinton years the anomaly is isolated. Oh sure, there's the great hope that Hillary will bookend Dubya. Too far away to be of any concern tonight.

Igneous rock, I'd say.... the complicated variety. The kind that is no good for road base and pipes too easy for pond-lining, but does pretty good if wheelbarrowed out back and spread on the path to the pig barn, keeps mud off the feet before it rains too much.

He can't tell the difference between a harmonious string of words and one of his own odious cackles. It's a bummer, on a page where there used to be some talent. You stick around for the hilarious political analysis, and all you get is Evil socialist, enemies of America. Dangling punch-lines, words all bass-ackwards, mystifying yet banal leaps of logic. Well, enough nostalgia. There is always the possibility that he will somehow manage to get a posthumous suicide note to the page, when he gets the balls to commit to it.

These two characters apparently believe that they went out in the hard world and survived by wit and talent and hard work, that they pulled themselves up by their hush-puppy straps.

Not to beat it to death, but more and more it is obvious that this Pete numbnuts isn't even interested in politics. Clinton to him is just a kind of reverse Fess Parker. His reason for fixating on Bill seems to be that he's toward the front of the tabloids, in People magazine, mentioned on the infotainment shows. Poor pathetic Pete is just the guy who waits outside the night-club door hoping to see Nicole and Tom, or at least a soap opera starlet. I'm guessing that this is why both these saps are into Gary Condit, they're just late-blooming teeny-boppers following the fan mags, feeling they're part of it because they get to vote, and spouting a mish-mash of what the old man farted and blew about and what the talk-show yahoos call in about. The golem doesn't even try any more, is plumb out of open letters and pendulum essays.

Bill Clinton closes $10M book deal
- - - - - - - - - - - -
By Hillel Italie
Aug. 7, 2001 | NEW YORK (AP) --
No bidding wars. No White House meetings. Not even a
press conference. For all the money involved, former
President Clinton's book deal proved surprisingly
straightforward.
Ending months of speculation, Clinton said Monday he
would write his memoirs for publisher Alfred A. Knopf.
Terms were not disclosed but a source close to the deal
said Clinton's advance will top the previous record of
$8.5 million for a nonfiction book.
The memoir, currently untitled, is
scheduled for 2003.
"I am very pleased to be associated
with the distinguished publishing house
of Alfred A. Knopf," Clinton said in a
statement issued by the publisher.
"President Clinton is one of the dominant
figures on the global stage," said Sonny Mehta, Knopf's
president and editor in chief. "He has lived an
extraordinary life, and he has a great story to tell."
The Washington Post and The New York Times reported
that Clinton's advance is more than $10 million. Clinton's
representative, Washington attorney Robert Barnett,
and officials at Knopf declined comment.
The record advance for nonfiction was $8.5 million for
worldwide rights to a book by Pope John Paul II in 1994.
Clinton's wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, received an
$8 million advance from Simon & Schuster for her
memoir.
Publishing insiders doubt that Clinton sought the highest
bidder. Class, not cash, was apparently the priority.
Knopf is regarded as one of the industry's most
prestigious publishers. Clinton's book will be edited by
Robert Gottlieb, whose other authors have included
Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, the late historian Barbara
Tuchman and the late publisher Katharine Graham.
"Knopf is an interesting choice. It's consistent with how
Clinton's trying to change his image," said Judith Regan,
president and publisher of ReganBooks, a division of
HarperCollins.
"Normally, with a book like this, you go around and have
personal meetings and he didn't do that. Hillary invited
everyone to the White House."
Regan, who had expressed interest in the book, called
Gottlieb a "very distinguished editor" and said Knopf was
an "appropriate publisher if you want to low-key it."
But it's doubtful Knopf paid all that money for a policy
book like Clinton's "Between Hope and History," a 1996
release that ended in remainder sections.
Asked in a telephone interview about whether Clinton
would write about the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Barnett
said: "It will be a comprehensive and candid book."
Said Mehta: "All I know is I came away from my
discussions with him feeling it was going to be a pretty
thorough and candid telling of his life, and that he was
going to talk about all the principal events of his
presidency.
"The heart of the book is what you'd expect it to be.
The heart of it will be his presidency," Mehta said.
Asked about the size of the advance, Mehta replied:
"We're very comfortable with the price we agreed to."
Knopf is a division of Random House Inc., whose parent
company is the German conglomerate Bertelsmann AG.
Like so many other things about Clinton, his book plans
were subject to endless gossip. Reports started even
before he left office and continued for months. There
were stories that his pardon of fugitive financier Marc
Rich and other controversies delayed his decision. There
were rumors he was writing a novel.
Barnett said the novel "never was happening." He said
Clinton, who received "numerous" offers both in the
United States and abroad, simply followed his own
schedule in getting a book deal.
"The president, upon leaving office, wanted to have
some rest, get his charitable work in line, get his speech
deal done and then move on to the announcement we
made today," Barnett said.
He said Clinton plans to write the memoir himself,
although he will have "plenty" of research assistance.
Widely known as a voracious reader, Clinton already has
written an outline and has worked out much of the book
"in his head."
"He's thought it out very carefully," Barnett said.
Barnett added that Clinton hoped eventually to write
several books and that a novel was a possibility.
But for all of Clinton's star power, he will be continuing
one of publishing's less productive genres. Few
presidential memoirs are valued as literature or as
history, and books about presidents tend to sell better
than books by them.
Harry Truman's memoir, for instance, is far less
remembered than David McCullough's Pulitzer
Prize-winning biography. In recent years, books by
Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan proved less popular than
those written by their wives.
"Clinton defies all rules; we've learned that," said David
Rosenthal, publisher of Simon & Schuster. "We're
disappointed we didn't get him, but I'm sure he will write
a good book and I'm sure it will be a very big selling
book."

Knew a Jewess once, a virgin at the time and thought it meant something. She wanted initiation, but I stayed true to the Greek and the General's daughter, who were plenty enough, and ended up despising her because she always had to quiz the waiter for ten minutes about what was in each sandwich. Later, after she had learned the essence of sin, a famous cocksman took her into his fuckatorium on St. Mark's Place in the East Village and worked her over. I was surprisingly jealous. She had a body like Eve in the side-panel of the famous Ghent Alterpiece by some Flemish artist whose name I forget. Jan Vermeer? Still, it would have been an experience, and I lament the lost opportunity to this day.

Or maybe he just came out of the oven that way? Or does he correctly assume that he's not interesting and this is all a desparate plea to be involved? Who the hell knows? Maybe the only relevant subject for comtemplation is how one person can throw up such dull series of posts time after time. Sculpting, building, creating his great play on Ren and Stimpy, or whatever the hell he's yapping about. Jeez what a worthless dildo.

And mount with his spirit above,
Escaped to the mansions of light,
And lodged in the Eden of love.
(2) Our brother the haven hath gained,
Out-flying the tempest and wind,
His rest he hath sooner obtained,
And left his companions behind,
Still tossed on a sea of distress,
Hard toiling to make the blest shore,
Where all is assurance and peace,
And sorrow and sin are no more.
(3) There all the ship's company meet
Who sailed with the Saviour beneath;
With shouting each other they greet,
And triumph o'er trouble and death:
The voyage of life's at an end,
The mortal affliction is past;
The age that in heaven they spend,
For ever and ever shall last.

One afternoon in July, 1864, when I was pastor at Hanson Place Baptist Church, Brooklyn, the weather was oppressively hot, and I was lying on a lounge in a state of physical exhaustion�My imagination began to take itself wings. Visions of the future passed before me with startling vividness. The imagery of the apocalypse took the form of a tableau. Brightest of all were the throne, the heavenly river, and the gathering of the saints�I began to wonder why the hymn writers had said so much about the �river of death� and so little about the �pure water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and the Lamb.� As I mused, the words began to construct themselves. They came first as a question of Christian inquiry, �Shall we gather?� Then they broke in chorus, �Yes, we�ll gather.� On this question and answer the hymn developed itself. The music came with the hymn.

The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
/ Soon we�ll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.

What's worrisome about that, old man, is that the queers seem to be trying to wriggle into mainstream society. They think they are just as good as Baptists or something, and soon will be foisting their lifestyle with little homosexuality plaques on their cars, like the fish symbol that the Baptists foist. They even had the chutzpah to install a small rainbow flag in Beverly Hills! Don't panic, though, our new pit-bull has barked loudly in their direction, and we are confident that they will creep back into their closets in fear. They'll think twice before trying to foist lifestyles again, with him prowling in the yard and a leathery pig dig hanging out of his maw, between the pink ridges where teeth would be in the sort of dog that had to rely on teeth and not poetry.

It's true as Glint says that young Bush won the electoral vote, and of course it is true that there is no appeal and no alternative to abiding by the interference of the Supreme Court. However, a statesmanlike Senate has no option but to reject any further nominations of cynical idiologues to the Court. The Court majority has disgraced itself and this country as much as is reasonable for all of history, and it must not be permitted to re-seed itself.

Gore went on to win the votes that were counted, but Bush won the five votes that counted. Surely nobody is dumb enough to think that the five justices who voted to bypass the election did so because Gore huffed and puffed or because Bush claimed that a welfare mom suffers a higher marginal tax rate than a rich lawyer.

He sits now beloved of all the world and most of the USA aside from the pinch-brained hating thomases and sneaky pete nay-sayers. He sits in stark relief from the mealy-mouthed, hypocritical, stupid little man who could not even get more people to vote for him than voted for his opponent, but had to be fraudulently installed by corrupt courts and the third-rate Florida hack Secretary of State. Why does Pete then think that W. beat Bill? Is this serious, or just another episode of homosexual acting-out?

The election was never completed... it was called short by the conservative supreme court majority in a cynical and unconstitutional intrusion into the electoral process. There is no doubt that Bush would have come out on top of a contested Florida election sent to the Republican Congress in the correct constitutional manner. All the Rhenquest court achieved was an opportunity for Bush fans to forever after weasel and lie about the circumstances of his non-election. The country can survive a stupid, ineffective puppet president; whether it can survive long with a corrupt Supreme Court is less certain.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Layoffs announced by U.S. companies jumped 65 percent in July compared to June, to hit the largest single-monthly job-cut total recorded by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. since it began its survey in 1993.
Announced job cuts rose to 205,975 in July, up from 124,852 in June, more than three times the job cuts recorded in the same month last year.
In the first half of 2001, U.S. corporations said they planned to cut 777,362 jobs, more than three times the number announced during the first six months of last year.
The telecom sector overtook the technology sector in July for the highest number of job cuts announcements, with 44,908, bringing the total number of layoffs announced in the sector to 175,350 for the first seven months this year. Technology companies announced 26,321 layoffs in July bringing the total to 101,044 for the first half of the year.
July's data was the seventh time in the past eight months that job cuts totaled more than 100,000.

Stanford study says ants are here to stay, despite pesticides
Ron Harris / AP 25apr01
SAN FRANCISCO -- Keeping ants out of the home has more to do with the weather than with stocking up on pesticides, a new study by Stanford researchers reveals.
A survey of 69 Northern California households from January 1998 to July 1999 found that Argentine ants, a tenacious non-native breed, routinely are invading households, driving out native ant species and all but ignoring top-selling pesticides.
The weather is the real key to when the ants will come in your home, and when they'll decide to leave, Deborah Gordon, lead author of the study, said Wednesday.
``Putting out pesticides won't make any difference,'' Gordon said. ``The most reliable cause of a decline in infestation may be a change in the weather. They come in because of the weather, and they go out because of the weather.''
The pesticides kill ants, Gordon said, but do not drive them from homes.
Common off-the-shelf pesticide sprays such as Raid, Hot Shot and Black Flag were not effective in driving the ants out of the homes studied. Neither were bait traps such as Combat, Grant's and Ortho Ant Kill.
Messages seeking comment from The Scotts Company, which makes Ortho Ant Kill, were not immediately returned.
Participants in the study tried almost everything to get rid of the ants, even wiping counters with bleach, ammonia, soap, hot pepper and chili oil. The only impact noted was a slight reduction in the ant populations following rainstorms and during summer drought periods.
Gordon's study revealed the Argentine ants likely invade kitchens and dining rooms to escape extreme heat or excessive dampness. She suggested wiping ant trails with glass cleaners such as Windex and plugging holes in walls.
The Argentine ants' unusual biology makes them difficult to control using traditional methods, Gordon noted. The ants have several queens and most pesticides are designed to eradicate single-queen species.
``Unlike other species, Argentine ants have many queens, and the workers can go back to any nest, so it's impossible to kill off a colony by killing off one queen,'' Gordon said.
The Argentine ant, Iridomyrmex humilis, lacks natural enemies and has taken over large areas throughout the state. The insects have begun to flourish in other mild winter locations around the world, including Hawaii, South Africa, Australia and the French Riviera.
The ants are native to Argentina and Brazil and are believed to have come to the United States by way of coffee shipments, according to the National Pest Management Association, which recommends boric acid dust and perimeter treatments around the home to ward off the pests.
California also is becoming home to increasing populations of fire ants, which likely would fight with the Argentine ants for territory, Gordon said.
``The meeting of the fire ants and the Argentine ants will be interesting and gruesome,'' Gordon said. ``If the fire ants take over, they may deal with the Argentine ants for us.''

On the other hand, Glint must be correct in saying that the pitbull is amused, because it frequently allows as how something is quite amusing, really. And it is charming to see that Glint can spot an underground talent, a poetic talent that others don't yet appreciate. It's just a pity that the pitbull doesn't yet know the things Glint knows. That phrase about a cat toyed with in the mouth of the dog isn't bad poetry, either, although not particularly scientific. More logical to surmise a mud-and-stick doll going through a wood-chipper.

Pete is a pitbull with a tenacious hold on the pussycats here. That slobber isn't affectionate, none of you realize you are being toyed with as a cat in the mouth of the bulldog. You hiss and spit back, attempting to scratch and attack the pitbull,while he nonchalantly just keeps playing with his prey, while your attacks on the tormenter never hit the target. He's not oblivious, he's amused. Pete will outlast all of you, this pitbull. You are locked in his obstinate grip , as he pushes your buttons and yanks your chains.

No mosquitoes either, but swarms of gnats, especially in the Mumma family graveyard. It was an out of the way place, a short walk from the auto touring pathway. Kids could cut loose and shake their sillies out by grabbing dead tree branches and attacking each other with their "bayonets". The niece noticed that the people were shorter back then. When she laid on top of the grave of a 24 year-old woman buried in 1872 the back of her neck hit on the next stone down. The mosquitoes, by the way, were at the top of Sugarloaf Mtn. the day before.

Public Interest Group Seeks Documents and

Task Force Meetings Should Be Public
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm

President Dick Cheney over his Energy Task Force. The Energy
Task Force is not in compliance with the Federal Advisory
Commission Act (FACA) and the Freedom of Information Act
(�FOIA�), which mandates that documents, Task Force members,
meetings, and decision-making activities be open to the public.
Judicial Watch filed its complaint in D.C. federal court on July 16,
20001. The case is before The Honorable Emmet G. Sullivan and is
captioned Judicial Watch v. National Energy Policy Development
Group. The White House has refused to make information available
not only to Judicial Watch, but also the General Accounting Office.
The lawsuit alleges that the Energy Task Force �must file a

My two cents are:
Yeah, but he seems to spend a lot of time worrying that someone is going to come along and make him into a practicing queer. That's what I find worrisome about the whole thing-- the idea that a normal heterosexual would fear a Beverly Hills Ford dealer going after the homsexual market. You'd think it would be way down on the bottom of the list, below the federal grapefruit size limitation. I have to guess that the philosophy is that if homosexuality is learned or a choice, and therefore sinful, then anyone could turn into a fag at any time and start stuffing gerbils. But why would a normal male, someone driven distracted at least twenty times a day by the body parts of passing women, worry about that? So what if you turned queer? It would be a lot easier to get laid. Yet this clown Pete worries about it. There's something more than meets the eye going on here.

To whom it may concern: I am a former participant on the fornigate web page. My "handle" is immaterial, so I will not use it here. Back in the great days of the page, I used to come to read the socialist doctrine, but mostly to tweak the one who called himself Pete. The reason I lost interest a couple of years ago was that I realized that this Pete person was not intelligent or educated enough to understand even my least disguised tweakings. It was like tormenting a dog who can't understand it is being tormented, and affectionately slobbers all over you immediately after yowling and dragging his hindquarters across the infield so relieve the pain from the oil of cinnamon you just squirted into his rectum. This "poetry" argument is just another tactic-- Pete actually is not exactly a poet, nor has he a poetic orientation or attraction to poetry. He is simply trying to excuse his ignorance and illiteracy by claiming once again to be something he is not. It is just another lie, like most of the rest of what he has posted here. Do not be fooled, as I was; do not waste your time as I did. You are mistaking a vegetable for a worm, but this is not a worm, just a diseased cabbage, and there is no need to stomp it into goo. It is already goo.

What is worrisome about this whole thing is this statement: "Gay people don't often feel comfortable being themselves in a straight, male environment, ..." This could apply to any situation a gay person decides to inject themselves in a manner where they must flout their "sexuality." This little carved up haven could apply to anything and may lead to requirements for their littel sensitivities, like smokers and any other minority special interest group...the fractionalization based on catering to every possible sensitivity is a liberal hallmark....sometimes life is just tough, as it certainly is becoming more and more for those who disagree with this lifestyle choice being increasingly foisted on mainstream society.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- The only sign that the car dealership caters to a distinct clientele is a small rainbow flag on the wall, and the name -- GLBT.
It stands for "gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender," and the flag is the international symbol of gay pride.
While other dealerships court gays through specialty advertising, none has gone as far as Beverly Hills Ford, which last month set aside one of its six lots to cater exclusively to homosexuals.
"Gay people don't often feel comfortable being themselves in a straight, male environment, which the car business is," lot manager Claes Lilja said. "We've created an atmosphere where they can." [WHAT's NEXT?}
The lot is believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, said Peter Blacksberg, the dealership's owner and president.
While the manager and four salespeople are homosexual, that isn't a prerequisite to work or shop on the lot, Blacksberg said.
The gay lot may help Blacksberg stand out in the heavily competitive Southern California marketplace, home to about 110 Ford dealers. Next door is West Hollywood, which has a large homosexual population.
"Because of the low incidence of children in gay and lesbian households, gay people have a lot more discretionary income so they are more likely to buy consumer products -- like cars -- more often than other households," Combs said.

These are the questions that we should be asking ourselves, not whether bacteria should be innoculated against like weeds when they puff up. It's all relative, and anything that puffs up to a certain point probably needs to be innoculated against like weeds. Even bacteria needs to be innoculated against, just like weeds, when IT puffs up. It's the foundation of modern medicine, but it is not relevant to the topic, see? Pete just threw in the weeds to strengthen the anti-bacterial innoculation figure. It's like saying, "Michael Jordan can jump like a palm tree," or "This new suitcase of mine is as strong as a coat-hanger," or "Pancakes should be eaten hot, like doorknobs."

Any federal judge worth his salt clearly has to discipline people who try to defend themselves in such a way that after hours and weekend plans are disrupted, and the best way to do this is the unyielding application of guilt by association, and interjecting himself tendentiously into the next state legal action involving someone associated with the disruptive defendant. Get with the program.

Be that as it may, I endorse Glint's theory that the Supreme Court installed Little Bush in the presidency because they were sick and tired of having Bill Clinton using up their precious time after hours and on the weekends when they could have been playing golf. No wonder the country has reaffirmed, in the immortal words of Justice Breyer, that everyone will "abide by the result." It's a hell of a triumph, that new willingness of losers, winners, and the public to abide by the result of a Supreme Court decision.

Aha, pushed another hot button. Found another sensitive spot. As noted, the only way to re-establish those corrupted "checks and balances" is to disrupt the intent of the judicial coup by vetting any Bush Supreme Court nominations closely. There is no clear way to overturn the precedent for unconstitutional judicial meddling in the election process, although the precedent itself permits further meddling by federal courts everywhere, which will give the opportunity for the Supreme Court, in some more honest future configuration, to reverse itself.

"Bush v. Gore demonstrated
Americans' faith in courts, says
Justice Breyer"
- By Associated Press, 8/4/2001 20:24 -
CHICAGO (AP) The Supreme Court decision that effectively
decided the 2000 presidential election is an example of the
durability of Americans' faith in their legal system, one of the
justices on the losing side of Bush v. Gore said Saturday.
Justice Stephen G. Breyer said the December decision, like
recent controversial Supreme Court decisions on abortion and
religion, is remarkable for ''the fact that losers as well as
winners will abide by the result, and so will the public.''
Breyer was among the four dissenters in the 5-4 decision that
stopped Florida ballot recounts sought by Democrat Al Gore.
The decision preserved George W. Bush's slim lead in the
decisive state. In a secondary holding, Breyer and Justice
David H. Souter agreed with the majority five that the Florida
recount was improper, and said an acceptable remedy might
be a new recount with proper standards.

My two cents are:
Let's assume for a moment that the U.S. Supreme Court *is* politically motivated and was in some way biased against Gore. Could it be because of the Lewinsky case in which Clinton kept desperately trying to cover his ass with bogus legal appeals, such as the "protective service privilege" and the like? Talk about flinging turds against the walls and columns. They're trying to keep their schedule on track and here's Clinton, when he's not lying to the American people, using up their precious time after hours and on the weekends when they have better things to do than stop that man from making a mockery of the Consitution. And then came Gore and his SCOFLA boot lickers. The high court chopped them off at the knees using language any dog with a tail to stick between its legs could understand. The Florida Supreme Court trying to grab election authority away from the Secretary of State. Talk about your "politically
and tactically stupid" men and women of the court. Yes, it's really easy to understand what happened when you actually follow the timeline paying attention to the events and causes that triggered the U.S. Supreme Court's proper decisions in this case of the Sore Loserman.

Thus sayeth the House of Meat: "The Supreme Court, over
which there is no appeal, has attempted to re-install itself by interfering with the electoral process, which is
constitutionally reserved to the states and the Congress. This was an unneccessary coup d'�tat or
precedent for judicial interference, because the recount could at best send two Florida slates to the
Republican Congress, which would choose the Republican slate or kick it back to the Republican
governor of Florida. Not just the decision was stupid, but the men and woman who made it were politically
and tactically stupid as well." Couldn't agree more. Thank God we live in a country of checks and balances that allowed the U.S. Supeme Court to squash these actions that eminated from the politically motivated Florida Supreme Court. Their asses took a well deserved kicking on that one.

That never made it into the tax bill, must not have been a high enough priority, but now the Republicans are trying to get it into the church bill. Trouble is, the cuts for the rich cost so much that the deductible gift is limited to $25.00, so the most someone in the low bracket can get back on the deal is about $3.75. Shit, you give a fifth of Cutty Sark to a bum and all you get back from the feds is enough for a Bud Lite at Hooters.

My two cents are:
Supreme Court is running the country. The majority intervened in a matter where the court has no constitutional authority, no business at all, and in a logic and law-free decision installed a President who had stated as a candidate that he would perpetuate that majority. The Supreme Court, over which there is no appeal, has attempted to re-install itself by interfering with the electoral process, which is constitutionally reserved to the states and the Congress. This was an unneccessary coup d'�tat or precedent for judicial interference, because the recount could at best send two Florida slates to the Republican Congress, which would choose the Republican slate or kick it back to the Republican governor of Florida. Not just the decision was stupid, but the men and woman who made it were politically and tactically stupid as well. The decision, which was in essence that all votes have to be counted the same way, would disallow every election ever held in the United States, was nothing more than idiotic, simply a lie of the majority. The only way to overcome its potentially disasterous effects on the American system of government is to reject and Bush nominee smelling even remotely of Scaliaism. How's that for serious, bonehead troglodytes?

And for those who love corny jokes, here a real story from today's Wichita Eagle: "For residents in some east Wichita neighborhoods Friday afternoon, the weather was particularly strange: Partly cloudy, with a chance of corn husks. People in homes near 13th and Woodlawn reported seeing what looked like extraordinarily large, dried corn husks spiraling down from the sky about 6 p.m. Paul Corn (yes, that's his real name) was playing host to a family reunion in his back yard in the 1000 block of Vincent Lane on Friday afternoon. He said the family stopped swimming when they noticed something strange spiraling down from the sky. They waited for it to land to see what it was, but the frond came to rest just over the fence in a neighbor's yard. Then there were more. And more. Each one, about 30 inches long and 3 inches wide. "They just kept coming down," he said. "There had to be, I don't know, a thousand of these things."

".... inability to get along with his neighbors..." - `Go Glint Go' Was out cutting the grass during twilight last night. As Gourdon's mercury vapor light started warming up I spied something. Why it was a lone vine stretching across the property line from a patch of green large-leafed weed-like plants. A simple twist of the wheel and -- >FRAP-AP-AP-SNAP!< -- what a wonderful sound! Music to my ears. The start of 2001's zero tolerance policy against the trespassing gourd. Then during the night it rained. Something compelled me to look out from the bedroom window and just as I did the mercury lamp somehow, either mysteriously or miraculously, blinked off! His house still had power. A handy spotting scope I keep under the pillow revealed that his appliances still had their LED clocks on. Perhaps the rain shorted out his lamp. Of course it did, hadn't Gourdon wired it up himself? Whatever the root cause of it, the timing was superb. This morning when he gets up and surveys his patch his little mind will have to struggle. The lamp's dead and the vine's got split ends. Is there a connection? Beautiful!

My two cents are:
VENTURA, Calif. - In what could turn out to be a landmark decision, a Ventura County Superior Court judge ordered a Ventura couple to support their 50-year-old son indefinitely.
Judge Melinda Johnson ruled two weeks ago that James and Bertha Culp of Ventura pay their son David Culp $3,500 a month for living expenses because he is incapable of supporting himself. Culp suffers from depression and bipolar disorder.
They were ordered to begin payments this month from their monthly income of about $20,000. James Culp is a retired trailer-park developer.
The Culps are appealing the decision. The appellate court ruling would be the first of its kind in California, according to Johnson, and could set a precedent for future cases.
David Culp is a Stanford University graduate who practiced family law in Ventura County for 19 years. He went from earning as much as $10,000 a month to collecting Social Security Disability at $1,049 a month because of his disability.
Johnson based her ruling on state law, Family Code section 3910(a). It states that "the father and mother have an equal responsibility to maintain, to the extent of their ability, a child of whatever age who is incapacitated from earning a living and without sufficient means."
In court documents, Johnson described the law as "unambiguous on its face."
Also factored into her decision was the possibility that Culp's emotional illnesses may have been hereditary and that his behavior disorders may be caused by physical and emotional abuse by his father.
Culp told his therapists his father physically and emotionally abused him and described his father in court documents as "an evil sadist" whose favorite sport was "humiliating the great lawyer in public."
Dr. Donald Hobson of Camarillo, Calif., Culp's therapist of four years, described his emotional problems as "almost post-traumatic stress disorder."
Specialists in family law emphasized the precedent-setting potential of the case.
Family law expert Sorrell Trope, of the Los Angeles firm Trope and Trope, said he hadn't seen a case like this in 53 years of practicing family law.
"As far as I know this is a landmark decision," he said.
David Culp's attorney, Jeff Jennings of Oxnard, Calif., said "every parent I talk to gets shivers when they hear about it."
But he noted the family code provision is clear. "The statute didn't come about by accident."
The Culps and their attorney declined to comment. David Culp also refused to comment.
David Culp was a successful family law and criminal defense attorney who practiced in Ventura County for 19 years and lived in Ventura with his wife and two children.
But in the late 1980s, Culp claimed he began exhibiting erratic behavior caused by untreated clinical depression, according to court documents.
He reported becoming "verbally abusive" toward judges and attorneys in court, "physically intimidating opposing counsel" and shaking a judge's desk in a "blind rage." He described being threatened with immediate incarceration and having bench warrants issued for his arrest.
The escalating behavior led him to close a private practice in 1994 on the advice of his therapist.
After his wife and two children left him, Culp applied for Social Security Disability.
In June, Culp filed the lawsuit against his parents for monthly expenses amounting to more than $11,000, which included college tuition for his children and several thousand dollars in medical expenses.

For those offended by serious things now and then, I am truly sorry, but thought this was worth presenting: "LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. productivity data due out on Tuesday could shatter the belief in a ``new paradigm'' economy of high growth and low inflation, triggering a stock market crash, a leading investment bank has predicted.
Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein said in a note to clients that revisions included with second quarter productivity numbers will revise away the ``productivity miracle'' of recent years, cited as a major factor in the bull market of the 1990's.
``Investing in the U.S. miracle will in retrospect be seen as a sick joke. The markets will be forced to confront this harsh reality on August 7,'' DrKW Global Equity Strategist Albert Edwards wrote.
``Make a date in your diary! The U.S. 'new paradigm' will then be officially revised away! The risks of an equity crash are high.'' Yikes!!

Of course, if he really didn't have anything to do with it, one would think he'd be more forthcoming with the answers, and more sincere in terms of grieving for his missing "friend" and stuff like that.

The Clinton years, made so difficult for me , and I suspect for all Americans, by the direction into Clinton's overwhelming personal life, are now gradually unravelling as Bush slowly and carefully takes his time, trying cautiously to switch the direction from what has gone on before. Oh, sure, hundreds of Americans may still be getting head and then trying to cover it up, whitewash it; scores of Americans may even still be wetting smoking materials in the vaginas of women young enough to be the daughters of American voters. But it is probable that none of these Americans are the President. The nightmare is indeed over, our dark hour as a nation ending, the trial of our collective lives nearly finished, and we can move into the broad uplands of ..... what? The only thing I regret is that I bought so many shares of webvan.com, and so few neckties.

Here, throw down your knee pads and suck on this poll Democrats: According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll (supplemented by face-to-face interviews with voters in four battleground states)
Bush has a 63 percent personal favorability rating in the poll and a 59 percent job approval score.

My two cents are:
SO MUCH FOR ZOGBY: The latest poll from the Washington Post reiterates what most other polls have been saying. Bush has a job approval rating of 59 percent, his second highest ever. His personal rating is 63 percent. The Village Idiot appears to be doing far better than Clinton at this point in his presidency - despite a jihad against him from such outlets as the New York Times. But as I pointed out last week in "Negatives," the real point is not these dips and bumps - but the more impressive stability of these numbers. Dick Cheney, moreover, has now overtaken John McCain in favorability ratings. One quote in the Post says a lot, I think: "'I feel a lot more comfortable having Bush in the White House. He's taking his time, being careful, trying to switch the direction from what was going on before. . . . The Clinton years were very difficult for me. His personal life overwhelmed everything else.'" This from a swing-voter in Pennsylvania. No reason for complacency but certainly a tonic against panic.

International stability was threatened when the Russians, staggered by daily revelations about the horrors perpetrated on Paula Jones, lost control of themselves and butchered Chechnya. The wily Arab crept sneering out of the sands of Arabia, and upset the balance of power in the Middle East. The Chinese gerontocracy hatched evil plans to force and American spy plane out of the sky. Slobodan Milosovich stepped up his efforts to control the drug trade and nearby criminal malcontents, and ended up having to wipe out an entire generation of people resistant to voting for him in the free and open elections he had planned. Oil company profits plummeted to 75%, as the dick-swinging Clinton slept, spent and blown, at the switch. Whole nuthouse wards imagined his pencil dick bumping the lectern, and the American mental-health pendulum shifted toward the neo-classical.

The nightmare of the Clinton/Gore years? What nightmare? Everybody was doing good, even the Mexican, even the Syrian, even the gapers at the gate. Everybody had a lawnmower and gas to burn in it, even MK. Look what happened to MK, by the way, as soon as Bush got in. Put on the old spare tire, turned into a couch potato, lost his job and never got a new one, or even a lucrative assignment.... Sure, Bush is holding the fort in a masterful political way and beginning to craft alliances with groups needed to perpetuate the power curve and dissemble the lies of the Demonrats once and for all, but that and a two-dollar bill will get you a cup of jamoka at Starbucks. What happened to Pete as soon as Bush got into that mode? Right, he died and now speaks through his golem, a five-inch tall herky-jerky figurine made of mud. A golem stuck uttering all the obsolete diseased judgements of the past, like a vinyl record stroked by some evil Negro D.J. at a Sioux Falls hip-hop rave in out-of-date baggy pants with pockets on the knees. Shit, I thought he would get some new material driving to the old cunt's funeral, but even the top right-wing radio hosts seem to have got stuck needles. At least Glint is now masturbating to thoughts of a real woman, the MTV chick, rather than his worn Linda Tripp pinups. Warily eyeballing the latest poll results, worried that the Bush disaster has dropped below 50 percent on spin results but not worried at all that he couldn't even beat Al Gore in a fair election. What a weird couple of wing-nuts.

Underneath, in tiny print, it says Poll: Bush Approval High, and links to an article about his current 59% job approval and 63% personal approval.

"happy with Bush" compared to 39.6% who think things would go "Better with Gore ." Although Bush has his worst marks in the east he still comes in front of Gore 45.8% to 41.8%.
Gore's numbers are their worst in the central and great lakes region, 51.4% to 33.5%, while Bush really shines in the south 57.9% to 34.2%. I think Gore has made his mark among history's footnotes! Read it and weep - Bwa!

Although Dole was greeted warmly by his former Senate colleagues, that was nothing compared with the reception he received from a group of about 15 female interns who staked out the hearing to get their photos taken with the septuagenarian.
"They were giggling and fawning over him," marveled one Senate aide. "Just shows what Brittany Spears and a little Viagra can do."

Sorry that I missed Whatever and Jeremiah yesterday. It was a busy day and then the MTV chick invited me to swing by the house after work. It was her birthday and she decided to buy a bushel of crabs. Seemed like perfect timing. The wife, kids, and prairie princess niece were spending the day at the Delaware beaches and were due home late. When I got there a brown haired dark eyed thing answered the door and let me in. There were introductions followed by nervous laughter as the women blushed and exchanged glances. Apparently one had referred to the other one as her "roomate" although they each have separate houses. So maybe they're lezes but I didn't really notice. I was too busy staring at the stack of beer off in the distance. A guy from next door showed up and the four of us started chowning down. Unfortunately, the reporter and photographer from the Carroll County Times had rescheduled their observatory shoot for last night so I had to leave rather quickly, slam bam thank you. The news team showed up about an hour late. The photographer really got into shooting the moon through the telescope's wide field eyepiece. He had a digital SLR camera so we could see his results on the small screen. They both hung around until about midnight. When I got back down to the house the family was back from the beach. My oldest daughter complained that my beard had a fishy smell.

That one single stem cell that cames from a fertilized egg contains the blueprint to build every part of a human. It's name is totipotent, which means total potential. Not a human yet, just the potential to become a human. Then the math part sets in and we have division. These stem cells have the ability to specialize into any type of cell in the human body. That's why researchers are hoping these cells can be used to replace any type of damaged cell in the body. Maybe other countries will go forth with this type of research even if this country chooses not to.

My two cents are:
Stem-cell research on embryos is an even worse
excuse for the slaughter of life than abortion. No
woman is even being spared an inconvenience this
time. We don't have to hear the ghastly arguments
of mothers against their own children, the travails of
girls being sent away to live with their aunt for a few
months, or the stories of women carrying the babies
of rapists -- as if that's happened more than twice in
the last century. This is just harvest and slaughter,
harvest and slaughter. Liberals warm to the idea of
killing human embryos.
The last great advance for human experimentation in this country was the
federal government's acquiescence to the scientific community's demands
for money to experiment on aborted fetuses. Denouncing the "Christian
right" for opposing the needs of science, Anthony Lewis of The New
York Times claimed the experiments were "crucial to potential cures for
Parkinson's disease."
Almost exactly a year later, the Times ran a front-page story describing
the results of those experiments on Parkinson's patients: Not only was
there no positive effect, but about 15 percent of the patients had
nightmarish side effects. The unfortunate patients "writhe and twist, jerk
their heads, fling their arms about." In the words of one scientist: "They
chew constantly, their fingers go up and down, their wrists flex and
distend." And the scientists couldn't "turn it off."
So what great advance are we to expect from experimentation on human
embryos? They don't know. It's just a theory. But they definitely need to
start slaughtering the unborn. Why not have the government give me a lot
of money so I can sit around and think. Who knows what I might come
up with? I'm clever. It's possible. Give money to Ann or condemn the
world to disease and pestilence!
It is simply asserted that scientists need to experiment on human embryos
if they are ever going to find a cure for Alzheimer's, cancer, AIDS,
Parkinson's and so on. Yeah, maybe. If so, then it's true, but no one has
demonstrated that it's true. Liberals are sobbing and groaning that we
don't know if SDI will work. We just shot a missile out of the sky; what's
their proof?
The left is so transparent: Nobody ever heard of this incredibly important
research on human embryos until 10 minutes ago. Yet everyone makes
believe he's known about the undiscovered bounty in human embryos
forever, and talks about it with real moral indignation. This whole debate
is a hoax designed to trick Americans into yielding ground on human
experimentation.
Incidentally, whatever happened to all the conjectural cures waiting to be
discovered in the rain forest? Somebody found a guava root that tasted
good in tea once, and that's the last the rain forest has offered up. The
pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. has been combing the rain forest
for a decade looking for some useful weed. The results so far? Nothing.
Now it will take forever to chop it down. I have nothing against the rain
forest. But I'm confident that, someday, the "scientific community" will
decide that we face a choice of chopping it down or risking never finding
a cure for cancer.

My two cents are:
Oh, gee. And now for the really good news: "Despite a growth burst that more than doubled the global human population
over the past 50 years, a study released today predicts it will peak at 9 billion by the year 2070 and then begin to decline.
"People thought for many years that we would breed ourselves out of existence," says Warren Sanderson, a professor
appearing in this week's Nature . "They thought we'd produce so many children, there would be no standing room left on the
planet. But now it seems our population will peak. "And that's an optimistic message." The scientists estimate there is an 85
percent chance the species will taper to about 8.4 billion by the year 2100. The current world population is counted at 6.1
billion. Previous demographic studies by the United Nations had projected higher populations of 9.32 billion by the year 2050,
with no decline in growth. Part of the reason for the different predictions is the new study anticipates the number of children
born per woman will go down." Wondering how a stagnating economy and restrictive governmental policies intends to feed,
clothe and shelter all these extra people in the next few decades - OUR lifetimes, perhaps. It will not come from lack of
initiative-type socialistic policies. IMHO.

My two cents are:
Yes, I was watching the day MTV started. Loved that channel. It went belly up when it went away from music and into God knows what else is on their socialistic agenda. Oh well...

My two cents are:
The MTV chick just swung by and I showed her the article cited below. Turns out she was on the set -- had actually painted the set herself -- on the day tha MTV started it's downward plunge: The day of the Clinton boxer V. brief interview. Tomorrow she's bringing in pictures.

My two cents are:
"Bubba's curtain call"
The big lug is back. After six months licking his exit wounds, The Man From Hope - Bill Clinton - held the first rally of his ex-presidency up in Harlem. It was, perhaps, ironic that it took Bill Clinton to push, if briefly, Rep. Gary Condit off the cable news shows. I couldn't help thinking that we might be seeing the Democratic dream ticket for 2004:
Condit/Clinton. It would pair up nicely with Bush/Cheney - Condit/Clinton would be the evil version of the young buck and the old pro. The media would love it. They could glide seamlessly from the Condit story to the presidential campaign without breaking to cover the sitting president, George Bush, at all.
In fact they already have. After a weekend of flourishes and fanfares to herald Mr. Clinton's arrivals, they pre-empted President Bush's speech to a group of African American police officers to cover Big Bill's glorious return to Harlem. The Washington Post ran, as a set-up piece, a front page, above the fold, 70 column-inch story on "His" return.
MSNBC provocatively headlined one segment of its coverage: "Ex- president sets up shop in nation's premier black enclave, and a long love affair continues." It was later reported that Hillary couldn't make the Harlem rally, and the "long love affair" turned out to be a collective one - with America's African American population.
Somehow I doubt it was a tough network decision to cover an ex-president opening up his office rather than a major speech by the sitting president. Heck, the American public has never seen the ritual opening of an ex-president's office before. Of course, all of our other former presidents simply wandered into their new offices and sat down. Only Bill Clinton would alert the media. And only our dear media would respond to the call.
But Mr. Clinton didn't just alert the media. As The Post pointed out in its lead sentence: "Bill Clinton this week will begin a second attempt at launching his ex-presidency." I have followed presidential departures since Eisenhower, but until today I have never seen an ex-presidency "launched." Ships are launched. Rockets are launched. Campaigns are launched. But ex-presidencies?
However, The Post is a careful newspaper, and its reporting discloses that launch is precisely the right word. The Post reports that Mr. Clinton has assembled some of his top political operatives "to help plot a strategy . . . to reintroduce to the public in a new role."
It will be fascinating to watch the re-introduction. After eight years, I would have thought we knew far too much about him already. He must be planning one hell of a makeover.
One begins to get a hint of where this launched ex-presidency is headed when The Post reported that Mr. Clinton's pollster, Mark Penn, released a poll to them revealing that 48 percent of the public "would be more comfortable with Clinton as president," while only 36 percent felt that way about Mr. Bush. Incidentally, when did ex-presidents start using pollsters? Today, I guess.
According to one of his operatives, his former Chief of Staff John Podesta, "The issues that animated his presidency are still the ones he wants to work on and make a contribution to. He wants to leave footprints. I think people are ready to listen again." I suppose those footprints will have to be noisy, if the people are to hear them.
Mr. Clinton doesn't make any political moves haphazardly. While the rest of the nation has been going about its business with little thought of Mr. Clinton's ex-presidency, The Post reports that in the Clinton camp, "All winter and spring, an internal debate brewed" over how he should respond to the alarming collapse of his approval numbers. In what has to be one of the cruelest sentences in the English language, one of his aides is quoted as saying: "This is not about getting ready for 2002 or 2004. This is about the next 20 years."
Yes, it's true. Mr. Clinton is planning to be in our face, and in the media, for the next 20 years. Eight years wasn't enough. Actually, we should be grateful for his restrained ego. At only 54 years of age, if Mr. Clinton were to take the right herbs and roots - or perhaps have his genes tweaked in the Cayman Islands - he could reasonably have planned to intrude into our lives for 30 or 40 years. As it is, the nation will be Clinton-free by 2021 - if he keeps his word.
Go! Tony Blankley Go!

Oh yeah, speaking of MTV's 20 year downhill slide...

My two cents are:
This fellow in Washington who says he made keys for Chandra after everyone else says she disappeared may have solved the mystery. She simply locked herself out of her apartment and is waiting at a vacationing friend's house who's set only gets CBS.

My two cents are:
So today MTV turns 20. I'm working with a woman, another consultant here, who used to work at MTV's Manhattan office. The thing she misses most, she told me at last Friday afternoon's company kegger, was the catered meals they had every single day. Before she came here she was laid off from a company in Virginia where employees could have free massages on company time, before they went belly up >ahem!>. I'm a simple person with few needs. I'm in heaven when the company just provides free Starbucks coffee.
