Levin went behind Peter's back, flew to Japan, and made a deal with Peter's Japanese partner, Tendo Oto. Because of that deal, Oto did not fund $5 million to SLM as promised, and the stock collapsed. That led to the incredible damage done to Peter and his family. People should understand that this is a guy who is never going to stop going after Bill and Hillary Clinton.
One ringy-dingy
This shocks them, but her ties to Larry Flint does not?
All the scandals, stories coming out now, and Freeh's book, the MSN doesn't say one word, but they are all over DeLay and Rove with the Plame stupidity.
"Mom," I said as gently as possible, after gazing over the crowd of plaid-shirted womyn hugging overall-ed womyn, "these are all lesbians." "Don't be silly," she responded, blinking sincerely, "they have just been working too hard for the opening to change their clothes."
About half an hour later she said she was done looking at displays and we left, never to mention it again.
BTTT
Hi Doug...made the call this morning. Left Billi a message. Said that I read about Hillary's ties to prostitution kingpin on FreeRepublic and that you were awaiting a return call from her. Said that if the Women's Hall of Fame was simply an organization honoring women, the FreeRepublic citation wouldn't make any difference but that if they were simply a liberal front organization that my call would, no doubt be ignored.
Thanks for making the call. If we have some way of finding out the names and contact info for the judges, I would like to contact every one of them. Can anyone help?
Great story. Thanks.
In addition to temperance and suffrage, under Willard's leadership the WCTU supported broad social reforms such as equal pay for equal work, the eight-hour work day, Armenian relief, world peace, the protection of women and children in the workplace, kindergartens, mothers' clubs (the forerunner of the PTA), dress reform, jail reform, uniform marriage and divorce laws, and physical education in grade schools. The WCTU established homes for working girls, shelters for abused women and children, and free kindergartens. In addition, Willard was a founding member of the Illinois Woman's Press Association, one of the first five women elected to the Methodist General Conference, and a founder and first president of the National Council of Women.
I'm still waiting for the executive director's call and explanation. If anyone would like to call and suggest to her that Heidi Fleiss be the next inductee, that would be fine.
***** WILL SOMEONE PLEASE FIND OUT ANY OF THE NAMES OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF JUDGES? *****
Clinton Inducted Into Women's Hall of Fame By BEN DOBBIN, Associated Press Writer
Sun Oct 9, 8:34 AM ET
SENECA FALLS, N.Y. - Inspired by Alan Shepard, the first American to journey into space, a 14-year-old from suburban Chicago wrote a letter to NASA in 1961 asking what she needed to do to become an astronaut. She got a curt reply: Girls are not being recruited by the nation's space program.

"It had never crossed my mind up until that point that there might be doors closed to me simply because I was a girl," recalled the letter writer, better known today as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, as she was enshrined Saturday in the National Women's Hall of Fame, along with nine other inductees.
Honored with her were Maya Lin, who designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.; Dr. Rita Rossi Colwell, who became the first female director of the National Science Foundation in 1998; and Betty Bumpers, a crusader for childhood immunizations who was Clinton's predecessor as Arkansas' first lady.
"I don't think there has ever been a better time to be a woman than in the United States of America in the 21st century," Clinton said in an interview.
The first known women's rights convention was held in 1848 in this upstate New York village. The hall, which opened in 1969, acclaims women who have made valuable contributions to society and especially to the freedom of women. In all, 217 women have been chosen by a national committee of judges.
Six women honored posthumously this year included pilot Blanche Stuart Scott, a barnstormer in the early days of aviation; Ruth Fulton Benedict, an anthropologist whose 1934 book, "Patterns of Culture," became an American classic; and Florence Ellinwood Allen, who in 1934 became the first female judge appointed by a president to a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
