Representative George Miller (D-Calif.) and Senator Feinstein are Communists trying to hold this land for the UN to mine when they have burned our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Some old stories are worth re-telling.

Now there's a blast from the past! The old days of Prodigy and Whitewater.

Don Fife is one wild and crazy guy. He's got the stones to push this one, and he'll have the money just as soon as he starts producing from hie limestone mine this year.

I hope he lives long enough to get DiFi/Blum a long-term lease on some low-cost housing.

Here's a vintage ad from '98:

Presidential Loincloths Sure to Be a Hit!

This Presidential Loincloth is much less restrictive and cumbersome to wear, and easier to remove than traditional underwear for REAL Presidential access. This comes in handy when that special intern has only just a precious few minutes to visit. Even the "Loin King" himself would be proud to wear one! This Presidential Loincloth comes with it's own White House Seal, sure to impress any staffer.

LOL... ;0)

Thanks for the pings, guys. I know we're awake and preaching to the choir; I have to wonder just what it will take to awaken the rest of the country.

Dehnert Queen, a San Francisco businessman, filed a criminal complaint in regards to this investment to U.S. Attorney Michael J. Yamaguchi and Ms. Sylvia Scott of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Queen states, in his complaint that Sen. Feinstein "misrepresented facts to defraud a public corporation (CALPERS), abused power and conflicts of interest to defraud State and U.S. taxpayers. In early 1993, CALPERS doubled its investment in Catellus to 41 percent...Queen contends "that both former Senator Cranston and Senator Feinstein acted to sponsor the Desert Protection Act in order to preserve and protect the formal agreement that then Mayor Feinstein signed with Catellus to build the Mission Bay Project in 1984, updated in 1986 and shepherded same through the City's (San Francisco) departments and commissions."

And yet they can tear into Kenneth Lay on live television and call him a "carnival barker". What complete hypocrites!
Any quick links as to the result of this criminal complaint?

Good find, editor-surveyor. Thanks for the flag! It's an old story but nowhere near as rare as it should be, unfortunately.

Wasn't the biggest gold heist in history when the Russian Commies looted all the Spanish gold and brought it back to Moscow? How about Saddam's gold heist from Kuwait?
