Everyone knew the Austin Powers release meant shelling out $8 for a smorgasbord of junior-high-school-caliber anatomy humor. But what nobody has warned the public about is that Mike Myers' latest abomination is blatantly, even repetitively, anti-Christian. The bad news is the teenage boy's sex fantasies are the tip of the iceberg; Myers' brazen mockery of Christ and Christianity are even more compelling reasons to save your $8. In fact, the material is sufficiently heinous to warrant a boycott of the films' many sponsors, such as Virgin Atlantic. At almost the outset of the movie, the script gives one a taste ...

Barney's little movie At the same time as polls show Democratic politicians suffering in the polls for their support of President Clinton in the recent impeachment drama, Rep. Barney Frank reveals that a New York filmmaker will release a behind-the-scenes documentary in the fall starring -- you guessed it -- Barney Frank. Mr. Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat and leading defender of Mr. Clinton, gave permission to Bart Everly to bring his camera into back rooms as Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee debated strategy, Roll Call columnist Ed Henry reports. "I'll be somewhat prominent because he put a mike ...

This is it folks. It's the bottom half of the ninth inning; the score is tied and there are two out (the legislative and executive branches of government) the hometown advantage lies with the reigning champion "Minutemen", who have the bases loaded with citizens Robert Schulz, Milan Pavlovic, and Stephen Oughton.Pitcher Janet Waco Reno with the out-of-towner's "New World Order" calls a time out, and approaches the umpire. She is protesting the manner by which the bases are loaded. She says:1. Congress and President enjoy sovereign immunity from suit.2. Plaintiffs have no standing to bring suit3. Case is moot, because ...

The refrigerant was valued at $3.2 million, officials said.Freon is the patented trade name for dichlorodifluoromethane, a refrigerant often used in air-conditioning systems of older cars.

Given that this is a capitalist country, rather than some socialist "workers paradise" with commodity prices set by central planners, many Americans probably figure the price of milk is determined by the price of production, plus the cost of processing and transportation, plus modest profits for farmer, hauler, and grocer. Um, no. Actually, according to the Code of Federal Regulations, the method for determining the "basic formula price" for milk is to apply this simple mathematical formula: Basic Formula Price (BFP) = {last month's average price paid for manufacturing grade milk in Minnesota and Wisconsin + [current grade AA butter ...

Free and fearless: Huge backlog of outstanding warrants under attack. (Published June 28, 1999) Millions of California residents wanted by the police for crimes ranging from murder to shoplifting walk the streets without fear of arrest. The San Francisco Chronicle documents in a special report the staggering backlog of 2.5 million outstanding warrants -- court orders for arrest that are openly and repeatedly flouted by those wanted. Most of the warrants are for misdemeanor crimes -- graffiti tagging, petty theft and shoplifting -- but tens of thousands are for violent crimes. According to the California Justice Department, the backlog ...

How Did the Founders Understand the Right to Keep and Bear Arms? Compiled by Daniel C. Palm   It is frequently remarked that while our nation’s founders said one thing about the right to keep and bear arms, they actually meant something else altogether. In the interest of letting the founders speak for themselves on their understanding of the Second Amendment, we present this chronological list of their comments on that Amendment and the right to bear arms. "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes ...

I reported to Free Republic on this site which is a satire of a crazy and addictive commercial web site. The site is linked to the Assassin Web Site, which offers our kids the chance to beat up, maim and kill celebrities. This Hamster Blast site is very popular with kids of all ages who think it is a blast to kill hamsters. Now the owner of the original site has objected to the parody.... even though the parody site owner had links to send folks back to the commerical 'Hamster Dance' web site. Oh well -- these folks will ...

Four years have passed since the most devastating act of terrorism ever committed on American soil: the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, in which 168 people died and another 400 were injured. In that time, home-grown acts of terror, particularly those committed by factions of the radical right similar to those responsible for Oklahoma City, have not gone away - and have, if anything, grown dramatically in frequency. A survey of politically motivated crimes committed in the United States since April 1995 reveals a disturbing increase in the activity. During those four ...

"Testing, the Easy Target" by Abigail Thernstrom, from the New York Times In case you missed it, the Federal Department of Education may have signaled the end of standardized testing, from college boards to elementary school assessments. This certainly seems the intent of guidelines issued last month by the department's Office of Civil Rights warning of the potentially discriminatory impact of "high-stakes testing." If the guidelines are approved, it will be hard to justify using tests to sort students at any age for any purpose. Here's the problem: At the moment, standardized tests have a disparate racial and ethnic ...

With Pak determined to escalate the war, pressure mounts to cross the line of control and destroy enemy supply lines R. Prasannan/Delhi and Drass with V.K. Shashikumar/Batalik On the bank of the Pandarass rivulet, dust and smoke-covered men make tea, grinning at passing convoys. More than 300 trucks lumber up, mostly in the first gear, from 7,700 feet at Sonamarg, where troops are trained to fight on mountains, to 11,600 feet at Zojila where Gen. Thimmayya winched tanks up a pony track and shot the intruders of 1948. Driving into the meadows of Drass, the drivers are still tense. ...

***TOUGH TEST LIES AHEAD FOR BUSH***Front Page Right Hand Column* ========================================================== AUSTIN--On the face of it, California would seem like friendly territory for Gov George W. Bush. Like Texas, it is a large state that shares a border with Mexico and boasts a bustling high-tech industry. If the comparisons stopped there, Bush would have little to worry about as he embarks on his first presidential campaign swing to the vote-rich Golden State today. But the political differences between Texas and California could hardly be more stark. Texas has a Republican in every elected statewide office. In California, where the Clinton-Gore ...

June 29, 1999 ABROAD AT HOME / By ANTHONY LEWIS The Supreme Power The Supreme Court term just ended showed us a phenomenon that this country has not seen for more than 60 years: a band of radical judicial activists determined to impose on the Constitution their notion of a proper system of government. That was the import of three cases decided last week by identical 5-to-4 majorities. The subject was "federalism," which sounds abstract. But the consequence of the decisions is far from abstract. The five Justices in the majority changed the structure of American government. And they did ...
