I saw several posts here that police were called to the home of Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va) on a "Domestic Violence" call. Was this just a scam or was it true? I havent seen it anywhere else.

In response to a request on the "What do Freepers Do" threads, I’ve accumulated key phrases from the various posters pertaining to occupations and education achievements. This may help Freepers and Lurkers get to know each other a little better perhaps… I was going to try to sort them out by occupation … but gave up due to the volume of posts!!!

Russian advance into Kosovo was smart move -- Zhirinovsky MOSCOW, June 29 (Itar-Tass) - The bringing of Russian peacemakers to Kosovo "was the smart and only possible decision," Liberal Democratic Party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky said in a live program of the Echo of Moscow radio station on Tuesday. That move showed the might of the Russian army, and "its potential of making fine actions on the European theatre of operations," Zhirinovsky said. In his opinion, the number of Russian peacemakers in Kosovo shall be increased to 10,000 men, "and troops shall be brought to Serbia on the latter's consent." ...

Party Time: World to End Next Week Nostradamus said so According to a prophesy of Nostradamus, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will wreak their destruction in July 1999 - next Sunday, to be precise - and many millennial pessimists believe it. Have we really got five days left to live? asks Nigel Farndale NEXT Sunday will be a big day for War, Death, Famine and Plague. After a light breakfast and a flick through the morning papers, the Four Horsemen will saddle up and go about their apocalyptic business like there's no tomorrow.

We are asking that you inform ...

After raising twice as much as former New Jersey Sen. ...

Gay Youths Say They're Aware of Sexuality Earlier On the last day of seventh grade, Dave Grossman mounted some cardboard boxes down the street from his junior high school and held a one-boy rally. I'm sick of pretending, he announced into a cheap loudspeaker. I'm gay. The affair was a bit botched. Dave's principal, fearing a "disruption," asked him to move his makeshift stage and rainbow flags away from school grounds. The event caused barely an eye-roll from his peers, who scattered from school eager to inaugurate summer. Still, there was Dave with his loudspeaker and his conviction. Like a ...

On June 15th, the NYTimes reported that the new Sony Playstation 2 is a "supercomputer" too powerful to be exported to China according to US law. US law dictates that supercomputers may not be exported from the US to sensitive countries, such as China, to increase in any way their technological intelligence, particularly with regard to the Chinese military, or those associated with it. But does US law determine what Japan exports to China? No. The Playstation2, like the Playstation, will be manufactured in Japan.

A team of Japanese, American and Korean scientists announced Monday that they had for the first time fired a neutrino particle through a 155-mile slice of the earth's crust and recorded its arrival at the surface. The achievement marked the opening of an experiment expected to last several years seeking evidence that neutrino particles in flight oscillate from one form to another. Three types of neutrinos are known to exist: muon neutrinos, electron neutrinos and tau neutrinos. One year ago, Japanese and American scientists announced the discovery of very strong evidence for oscillation between neutrino types, or ``flavors,'' but ...

Our Vulgar President The word "Vulgar" is a derivative of the Latin "vulgaris", meaning "of the mob, common". The modern definition is lacking in cultivation, perception, or taste; COARSE; morally crude, undeveloped, or unregenerate :". Aside from the very obvious appearance of impropriety oozing from every crack and crevice of the National Disgrace at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. we are also faced with the harsh reality that we've put into a position of literally earthshaking power a man from whom no sensible person would purchase a used automobile; a man who cannot apparently be trusted even with the most minimal responsiblity ...
