Hey, Chappell, those of us who have been on FR for awhile know that your Jihad against it has nothing to do with the law and everything about your deep-seated hatred and obsession with FR.The law is used by you not for justice, but to instill fear and confusion into the posters and operators of this site. Your dubious interpretations of the law, coupled (with) injecting yourself in the WP/LAT lawsuit do not speak well of your abilities as a lawyer.Also, posting under numerous screen names such as this one when the owner has told you not to post on ...

There is no better job than mayor, said Mayor Rendell at Thursday night's $2 million fund-raiser, attended by President Clinton, in the ballroom at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Referring to all the speculation about what Clinton will do after his term in Washington expires at the end of next year, Lame Duck Rendell told Lame Duck Clinton: "You'd make a great mayor." Maybe so. And a job opening is coming up soon. . . In New York City.

'Heard voices'  There were voices in Kelli Chapman's head. Voices so loud, her family said, that she fell into a dark, paranoid abyss - a lonely place in her mind that only crack-cocaine seemed to fill. And after spending years in and out of mental hospitals and treatment centers, the voices and her addiction finally drove her mad enough to douse a boy with gasoline and set him on fire Thursday, according to police and family members. "It was voices in her head. She was sick, sick from the drugs," her father, Preston Chapman, said yesterday. "Sometimes she would ...

Around 2 p.m., while we were wrapping up our protest at the White House today, a black sedan with but the driver in it drove up to the Monica Gate and was immediately let in. The vehicle drove on to the White House grounds and out of our thoughts. We didn't recognize the driver (a young, professional, in-shape Black man), and the tags were generic D.C. plates.Ten minutes later, Doctor Raoul and I were over by Lafayette Park putting his gear away when the sedan pulled out of the Northeast Gate and headed past us on its way to the ...

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Conservative activist Gary Bauer criticized Republicans George W. Bush and Steve Forbes for not attending a health care forum on Saturday, saying the two skipped the event to avoid answering "tough questions.'' Bauer, one of six candidates vying for the Republican nomination, spoke to about 50 members of Iowa's AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons. "They're going down the road fairly typical of politicians. They're telling everybody they can have everything,'' Bauer said of Bush and Forbes' Social Security plans. Bauer's health care proposals push to guarantee Social Security benefits ...

SCHOOLBOY James Sutton yesterday vowed to be a good father to his newborn twins, despite being only 13. He has taken a part-time job delivering soft drinks door-to-door to help look after the girls and their 17-year-old mother. And he plans to top that up with cash gifts he gets at Christmas and for his birthday next week. Third-form pupil James - who plays truant so often his family face court action - puffed on a cigarette and said: "We'll learn what to do as we go along. It's going to be a lot of hard work." He was ...

Strange things get said during presidential debates. Some of them are mere word-scramblings, such as Steve Forbes's "the stack is decked" and "investment of menu options" last night. Others are conceptually peculiar, such as Orrin Hatch's insistence that "[t]he antitrust laws are very conservative laws" because "[t]hey're laws that try to make sure we even up and make people equal." Ah yes, egalitarian leveling - that's always been the essence of conservatism, hasn't it? On the whole, though, the candidates gave illuminating responses to intelligent questions. Supporters of each candidate had a reason to be pleased witht heir guy's performance ...

Thousands of Bosniaks are being driven from their homeland by ethnic Albanians --who share their religion but not their nationality. SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina--Belief in the same God is no shield against the fierce nationalism of ethnic Albanian extremists in Kosovo. Thousands of Slavic Muslims, who refer to themselves as Bosniaks, have fled the Serbian province since NATO-led peacekeeping troops rolled in nearly six months ago. Bosniak refugees here say they are being driven out by ethnic Albanians, most of them fellow Muslims. "Albanians have only one religion: nationalism," human rights leader Sefko Alomerovic said in a telephone interview from the ...

Instead of giving gifts to our many neighbors this year, My wife and I want to make a donation to a nationwide charitable organization in the name of all of us. However, searching the Internet provides only the names of charitable institutions I know little (enough to know I don't want to give to them) or nothing about. Can any Freepers out there give me suggestions as to good non-denominational non-directly political yet upholding conservative standards charities that meet my criteria? I'm particularly interested in a charity working for children and one that is efficient, that is one that sees ...

“Kip die Wip zum tor hinaus! Der Galgen ist dein Wechselnhaus!” Before the assault on my German begins anew, let me advise the reader that this is a lyric from the 17th century, transcribed in what I believe to be its most commonly surviving terms. Because of the unusual forms, I will offer this translation (not my own): “Throw the Money-lender/changer out the door! The gallows is your Countinghouse!” The appearance of this bit of verse presaged an economic panic in 1618 in the Germanic princedoms, which instigated what is now commonly referred to as the Thirty-Years’ War. Of course, ...

Prefix: I received this as an e-mail from a VRWC friend in Iowa. I objected to Mao being quoted in a display case in my daughter's cafeteria. Here's the response including all spelling errors, etc.: November 30, 1999 On Tuesday, November 23, your daughter, Amy, came into my office with a concern about the Renaissance display case quote, "Dare to think, dare to do" by Mao se Tung. She stated that you were very offended by using a quote from Mao se Tung because of what he stood for. I appreciate your concern, but as a public school we are ...

STORY CITY-- Ted Frandson pointed north, past a machine shed and its carefully parked tractors and its carefully stored implements. That field, he said, grew genetically modified corn last summer. That field over there grew genetically modified soybeans. And next spring, when his planter is hooked to a big green tractor, he said more genetically modified seeds will go into that flat and black cropground.

Hackers uncover secret billions of Arafat's PLO By Tom Gross in Jerusalem THE Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has salted away billions of pounds for the Palestinian Liberation Organisation in secret foreign bank accounts and investments, including property in London. The disclosure about the hidden wealth of his PLO comes amid deepening economic hardship in his Gaza and West Bank fiefdoms. It will also hamper his efforts to woo a huge influx of European aid for his fledgling Palestinian regime. The timing of the disclosures could not have been more embarrassing as Mr Arafat, seated before a stage built to ...

FBI Targets ‘Right Wing’ By Kelly Patricia O’Meara In a polemic presented as a threat report, the FBI has targeted religious groups and right-wing eccentrics as potential terrorists likely to go postal as the new millennium arrives. The cover story of the Weekly World News just weeks before the turn of the century carried the huge headline: “Bible Prophecies the Government Doesn’t Want You To Know.” Then came revelations to rival the apostle John: “Every American will wear the Number 666 — the mark of the beast” and “The Anti-Christ is alive and living in the U.S.” and “The moon ...
