I have a friend who absolutely is convinced that the Boy President will not vacate the Presidency at the end of his term next year. He has no specific evidence of this, other than a distrust of our beloved President. His theory as to how Clinton will retain power goes as follows. During the 2000 PresidentialCampaign, a theft occurs at one of our nuclear weapons facilities, and several nuclear weapons are missing. The search is on, but no arrests. It is suspected that far-right groups are behind the theft, but no concrete evidence has been uncovered.Meanwhile, George W. Bush and ...

KIDS HAD A PRAYER, BUT SCHOOL SAW DIFFERENT SIGN June 8, 1999 When school kids form strange cliques, school officials get nervous, especially when the kids espouse radical and threatening ideas. So you can understand the concern among some in Lake Forest when Christian Neubauer and a few other 3rd grade boys recently formed their own strange club at Deer Path public elementary school. The devious 9-year-olds had the decency not to meet during class time. But out on the playground, they practiced what school officials considered threatening rituals. In their cult meetings, they flashed sign language and wore ...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States temporarily shut down six embassies in Africa after receiving information they were under surveillance by ``suspicious individuals.'' The embassies in Gambia, Togo, Madagascar, Liberia, Namibia and Senegal were closed Thursday. State Department spokesman James P. Rubin said today a decision will be made over the weekend on whether they will be reopened Monday. ``We will be assessing that that this afternoon and tomorrow,'' he said. ``We had information suggesting suspicious individuals were surveying the sites, and as a precautionary, prudent measure we suspended operations.'' Rubin told ABC's ``Good Morning America,'' that the United States ...

Bennett, a 70-year-old Korean War veteran wearing a Veterans of Foreign Wars cap, rises in the Grand Strand Senior Center lunchroom to ask Sen. John McCain a question. "I'm proud of what you've given to your country," Bennett tells the former Vietnam prisoner of war. He speaks of a "lack of patriotism" in the United States, and how quickly Americans forget those who gave their lives, "and the five and a half years that you served" ...

CLINTON'S NEW FRIEND--AL SHARPTON. EDITORIAL--Washington Times, June 20, 1999 Did anyone notice who was wiping his feet on the White House welcome mat the other day? The Reverend Al Sharpton, that's who. That would be the same Al Sharpton who, along with fellow agitator Alton Maddox, most sensationally perpetrated the 1hwana Brawley hoax on the nation - falsely accusing white law-enforcement officials of raping a black teen-age girl, smearing feces on her body and leaving her in a paper bag marked "KKK!' (One of the slandered officials, Steven Pagones, was recently awarded a $530,000 defamation judgment in the case.) But ...

DEAR FORBES: DO THEY NEED IT ALL? "The man who dies . . .rich, dies disgraced."-- --Andrew Carnegie. ========================================================= It's not that I have anything against money. Hey, I'd love to have enough of the green stuff to ensure that my heirs and I never want for anything again. It might be fun to have that much. But here's the question: What if I had more? That's what I find myself wondering each time Forbes magazine releases its annual ranking of the World's Richest People, as it did just a few days ago. To the surprise of no one, Microsoft ...

SUMMARY: While we were all asleep listening to scintillating tales of groupings and trouser droppings by our fearless leader, our sharp as a cue-ball "National Media" failed to notice the mass resignation of two dozen General officers. The Japanese have a phrase for this sort of thing; roughly translated it means "Killing it with silence." I had a very interesting ride on a company (UAL) DC10 yesterday into Chicago. The F/E was a retired USAF BG - '61 USAFA (with his ring on), Vietnam Thuds (shot-down once) and one of the original Viper guys at Hill AFB. He said that ...

Victor J. Stenger has created new universes. Lots of them. In some, the stars shine for only a fraction of a second. In others, atoms are the size of tennis balls and a typical day lasts trillions of hours. Stenger achieves these wildly disparate results by altering a few of the underlying "constants" of nature--the mass of a proton, for example, or the strength of the electromagnetic force. He ends up with worlds that look radically different from our own. Stenger is a theoretical physicist at the University of Hawaii and author of a book titled The Unconscious Quantum: ...

WASHINGTON -- An unusual coalition of liberals and conservatives persuaded the House of Representatives to approve legislation Thursday to make it much harder for Federal and state law enforcement authorities to confiscate property before they bring criminal charges in narcotics and other cases. By an unexpectedly lopsided vote of 375 to 48, the House for the first time rolled back 30 years of criminal measures passed at the height of Government "wars" on drugs and terrorism. Those measures substantially broadened the power of Federal and state authorities to seize houses, cars, cash, boats, planes and other assets before filing criminal ...

It's always suspicious when Washingtonians start breaking into bad Latin. There may be a quid, you hear them say, and there seems to be a quo. But--aha--there's no smoking pro to connect the two. This pseudo-talk combines my least favorite styles: that of the overpaid attorney and that of the overpaid political obfuscator. Thus, it is not denied that Chinese military-industrial sources managed to transfer an awful lot of money to the Democratic National Committee. Nor is it denied that many tranches of valuable information made their way from American nuclear laboratories into the computer systems of the People's ...

Kosovo's Gypsies flee wave of ethnic reprisals 03:06 a.m. Jun 25, 1999 Eastern By Matt Spetalnick PRISTINA, June 25 (Reuters) - Thousands of Gypsies are fleeing their homes in Kosovo because of revenge attacks by ethnic Albanians who accuse them of collaborating with their Serb oppressors. Across the embattled Yugoslav province, Gypsies -- who call themselves Roma -- have begun streaming out of towns and villages in the third wave of refugees spawned by Kosovo's bitter ethnic conflict. NATO sources say renegade members of the separatist Kosovo Liberation Army have joined in the violent reprisals. Dozens of Gypsy homes ...

1) A DOD analyst said he was forced to delete a warning about a transfer to China, but only FNC cared. CBS's Bob Schieffer didn't cite gun control in noting how "Congress has been busy with symbolic things." He named the Ten Commandments and flag burning. 2) On CNN's Crossfire Dan Rather claimed that conservatives see liberal bias in him only because he's "an independent reporter." The "on the right" co-host concluded that CBS News is not biased. 3) George Stephanopoulos again co-hosted Good Morning America this week and conducted political interviews, but generated no indignant media outrage.

Interviewers have pressed him on his view of President Clinton's affair with Monica S. Lewinsky. Commentators have ridiculed his shouted oratory, with the Chicago Tribune's James Warren likening him to a "Baptist minister on amphetamines." And no report on Gore is complete without noting the ...

Don't Ask, Don't Tell A mid-level intelligence officer working with the CIA gave persistent warningsthat there were grave problems with a target selection during the war inYugoslavia. "I'm not sure that's the right building," he's quoted as saying. Damn straight, it was not the right building. That building turned out to be the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. But why be shocked? When have warnings ever been heeded by the Clintons or their subordinates? I'll bet someone also said, "I hate to intrude, Sir, but I think that's an aspirin factory." Or "Don't you think it might look bad, Mr. President, ...

Upstaters Bugged as Hillary Aide 'Flies' In the Face of Good Sense 7.19 a.m. ET (1119 GMT) June 25, 1999 By Gregg Birnbaum ALBANY — Angry Adirondack residents may be biting a lot worse than the region's notorious black flies do if first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton decides to visit the popular tourist area. Locals are buzzing mad at a comment by an unnamed adviser to Clinton — that it would be a bad idea for the first lady to vacation in the "fly-infested Adirondack Park" this summer. Newcomb town supervisor George Canon, a Republican, fumed, "She wouldn't have to ...

U.S. Has Seen No Evidence Of KLA Drug Trafficking 06:01 p.m Jun 23, 1999 Eastern (This article is priceless for the picture it paints of the US governement willingly turning a blind eye to the ovious.) WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has no credible evidence the Kosovo Liberation Army engaged in drug trafficking to support its armed struggle against Serbia, State Department spokesman James Rubin said Wednesday. ''The U.S. government has never identified credible evidence of these drug-running charges,'' he told reporters. ``We've seen reports in newspapers and elsewhere,'' Rubin said. But although American intelligence agencies have looked ...

Someone can fill in the blanks, but I wanted to nevertheless post this information. On a talk show yesterday (I can't remember which) was news that the school board in San Francisco has voted 5-2 to ban Oreo cookies from it's vending machines and lunches. Nabisco is a subsidiary of one of the tobacco companies, I believe R.J. Reynolds. The rationale is that they refuse to support the dreaded tobacco industry which benefits from the sale of Oreo cookies. Where is this nonsense going to end?
