We measure time from day to day and stack it up like bricks of clay . We move a brick and we fix a stick To all that is, we add some more tomorrow, say we, we plan the door . This house must first be built with a strong and sturdy stilt . Too soon, it seems, the time has passed No door, no frame, no hinge or hasp . But, Time has gone its merry way Tomorrow, tomorrow, is but today . Now, you my dear, may make that door and to the stars, with valor, soar . ...

For the testosterone-overloaded nostalgics; a sequel to sneakypete's original thread. If you don't understand machines, you'll never understand men.

CBS News just announced that Cheney had a stent inserted in a cardiac artery this morning, yet they are not calling it a "heart-attack". It caused angina and resulted in insufficient oxygen being supplied to his heart. Folks, this is a definition of a heart-attack. The past two weeks has been enough to give anyone a heart-attack.

By NEIL A. Lewis The Associated Press Judge Leon Johnson's calendar is too full for the Clinton case. The Clinton Impeachment Trial WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 — It now appears almost certain that a trial in Little Rock, Ark., over whether President Clinton should be disbarred will not take place until well after he leaves office, lawyers involved in the case say. Lawyers from the Arkansas bar association who are trying to strip Mr. Clinton of his law license thought they had had an agreement with the trial judge to schedule the trial for this year. But a state court official ...

Today, I finally decided to listen to Limbaugh so I turned the radio on to the local CBS station, WLAC, that carries his show on a one-hour tape delay. I was just in time to hear this polished female voice saying that she had three (3) children, all born with autism and was supposedly reading from a letter sent to her Senator, Bill Frist (R) Tennessee; she went on to say that she needed help in the care of her unfortunate children and the ad continued with a recorded promise from Frist to pass new legislation that would help people ...

Nothing Follows; I am just curious what Freepers think is behind this sudden shift in prosecutorial process. Who blinked?????????????

Thursday, 9/7/2000 Fisk students revisiting past in Selma; contentious election draws new generation By Monica Whitaker / Staff Writer On a mission that carries echoes of civil rights work from the 1960s, a busload of Fisk University students is bound for Selma, Ala., next week. They'll act as unofficial election observers and polling-place ushers at the end of a controversy-laden mayoral race. The runoff election pits a black businessman against a nine-term white incumbent. There have been accusations of intimidation and voter fraud. The Nashville students, each with a bedroll and instructions from leaders of Fisk University's Race Relations ...

Jul 3, 2000 - 09:59 AM Winning Lottery Numbers Published by Fluke Before Draw The Associated Press VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - Oregon Lottery officials thought it was a joke when someone called to say The Columbian had published the winning Pick 4 lotto numbers a few hours before they were drawn. When they learned the caller was right, they dispatched Lloyd W. Beil, a detective with the Oregon State Police gaming enforcement section. "Game security is our most valuable commodity," said David Hooper, an Oregon Lottery spokesman. As it turned out, the newspaper's computer system in this city across ...

On the eve of another round of sham elections, the AP wires are full of news from our southernmost neighbor, Mexico; once again we are reminded of the difference between democracy and a true republic; the difference between voting one's conscience and one's stomach; the difference between freedom of speech and the serfdom of silence. At times it seems as if all of Mexico's poor and desperate if not the "desperados" are surging across the 2,200 mile border that separates these two nations; they do this for one reason -- freedom. The freedom of a full belly and an empty ...

The Bill of Rights: It must be understood that the first 13 amendments to the Constitution of the United States was a footnote to an unprecendented document espousing the formation of a government designed, not by the beneficiaries of a social order, but, the stalwart souls who saw the error of historical regimentation. As a colony of a kingdom whose powers exceeded their physical presence the act of rebellion was entirely predictable; what was unexpected was the unification of a group of expatriates whose sense of commonweal was greater than the commonwealths of the organizing and exploitative pioneers imagined. Once ...

Delaware was the first state admitted to the Union, but, as a bellwether for politics it hardly resonates. Why then, did Forbes "cash-in-his-chips" here unless he intends to sell his "stake"? Can we expect to see it listed on E-Bay.com, or will this be one of those "behind-the-scenes" transactions? I remember Nelson Rockefeller lusting after the office, and even with all of his wealth, found it not "For Sale". Bush/Forbes, sounds like a bridge in New Mexico.

I have been wanting to ask this question for a long time, but there has been a lot of real stuff being posted; today, it seems quite quiet so I am now putting my head "on the block". My grandmother was 70 years old when I was born and lived with us until she became too infirm for my parents to care for her; her daughter then nursed her the remainder of her life, while I have mourned her all of mine. Having been born in 1870, just after the Civil War and in a poor area of the Appalachians, ...

When my daughter, an 11th grade student, came home from school today, I asked her if she had any homework; she said that she was supposed to name 10 elements from the Periodic Table found around the home (it is assumed this means in raw or molecular form). How many can you name?

Did I miss something between last night and today? I went into FR and didn't have to log-in, and replied to one post as a test; then I did a search for any news on Seattle and all I get is from yesterday. Then I went to Drudge and there was this Link to excite.com. There were 50 arrested this A.M. and no mention of Clinton's arrival or where exactly the protesters were being restrained from the venue proper. Has Jim put this subject off-limits, or is it just "Old News"?
