The Monicagate judge who determined last year that Independent Counsel Ken Starr's conduct warranted investigation didn't take kindly to complaints about her own alleged misbehavior on the bench. According to a little noticed wire report on Friday, Judge Norma Holloway Johnson now acknowledges that it may not have been such a hot idea to bypass the standard procedure for random selection of judges in the cases of Clinton hot potatoes, Webster Hubbell and Charlie Trie. Johnson had invoked Local Rule 403(g), which allowed these two potential White House nightmares to be adjudicated by Clinton appointed judges in the interests of ...

Untitled Normal Page ALgor is apparently delusional, says cochran is his friend. cochran says algor is no friend of his? More odd behavior from the guy who invented the internet. It is also revealed that this dinner party was "off the record" because algor demanded it. What does algor have to hide? We all know he's a brain dead idiot who's only talent is illegal fundraising, supporting a rapist, and lying.

AS per Jewish World Reviews Wish here is the Link...http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/thomas.html THE HOMELESS are making a comeback in the public mind, just in time for Hillary Rodham Clinton's prospective run for a New York Senate seat. The major media forgot about the homeless after Bill Clinton's election because they were only useful in bashing Republican presidents Bush and Reagan for their "heartless'' and "uncaring'' policies. In the aftermath of an attack on a woman by a man thought to be homeless, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani ordered police to get the homeless off the streets and put them in shelters, ...

WASHINGTON (AP) - The State Department estimated today that 10,000 Kosovar Albanians were killed in a Serb campaign of atrocities and ethnic cleansing early this year in Kosovo, but said the true number may never be known. It also said more than 1.5 million Albanians were forcibly expelled from their homes, tens of thousands of homes damaged or destroyed and an unknown number of other atrocities committed from March through June by the forces of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. ``This report is only a snapshot of the Milosevic regime's brutal, premeditated and systematic campaign to expel many Kosovar Albanians from ...

Dear Fellow Freeper Veterans (and other concerned parties), The Issue of the Week over at Intellectual Capital is about the life of the American Soldier.  This will be the topic until next Thursday.  IC has a pretty good message board but there are more than a few aging hippies, trust-fund radicals and other assorted leftoids that hang out there and will be more than ready to bad-mouth G.I.s and all the values we hold dear. I hope I can count on all my Freeper comrades to surf over and help fight the good fight.

Monica Lewinsky has fallen head over heels for a new man and sources say she's looking forward to getting married and starting a family. The former White House intern is dating Jeff Boggs, a TV comedy writer who seems to have put the laughter back into her life. Sources say the couple have been seeing each other exclusively for about six weeks after meeting at a party in Los Angeles. Boggs used to be a writer for David Letterman and he admits he was responsible for many of the Monica jokes the late-night TV host cracked at the height of ...

Clinton Administration Suing Gun Manufacturers Cato Institute News Memo: From: Julia Williams, Director of Public Affairs, Cato Institute email: jwilliam@cato.org Subject: The lead story in both today's Washington Post and New York Times is the Clinton administration's intention to take the unprecedented action of suing gun manufacturers. That action is inappropriate and amounts to extortion, according to Robert A. Levy, Cato's senior fellow in constitutional studies. "Egged on by the usual suspects in the contingency-fee bar, 29 cities and counties sued gun makers for 'negligently marketing' a product that is 'unreasonably dangerous and defective.' Now the U.S. Department of Housing ...

APA ADMITS ERROR IN PUBLISHING HIGHLY CRITICIZED “ADULT-CHILD SEX” STUDY FRC?s Parshall Applauds “Good First Step” as APA Pledges “Unprecedented” Independent Review WASHINGTON, D.C. — Backing away from a controversial article that had said child molestation with “willing” children may not be harmful, and may, in some cases, even be beneficial, the American Psychological Association unveiled Wednesday a resolution condemning all “sexual relations between children and adults.” “After much pressure, the APA has begun to undo the damage wrought by its publication of a badly conceived article that has been hailed by such groups as the North American Man-Boy ...

Stamper not alone in failing WTO test There's a difference between being a decent person and being an effective police chief, and the failure to close that gap has led Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper to resign. Stamper, whose laudable efforts to reach out to Seattle's minority and gay communities and to make community policing more than just the latest crime-fighting buzzwords, will now be more remembered for something else - the scenes of violence during last week's World Trade Organization riots. Much-pilloried for the police department's insufficient staffing and general lack of preparation, Stamper announced on Monday he would ...

Somewhere, in all this mess of a life we have created for our children, we have lost integrity. Everyone has ulterior motives, and no one is brave enough to say exactly what they think because it might make someone mad, or hurt someone. I say, so what.

(December 9, 1999 4:41 a.m. EST http://www.nandotimes.com) - No doubt, people in the Clinton administration think they are on the side of angels when they dream up something like a national lawsuit against gun manufacturers. But they are not, not unless angels endorse bully-boy tactics. Not unless angels have no respect for the Constitution. Not unless angels think the end justifies the means. The phoniness of the national intervention becomes especially apparent when you note that the class-action lawsuit would be brought by the local authorities running housing projects under the direction of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. ...

Bulgarian "Sega": Leaders of the so-called KLA are Albanian Mafia Sofia, December 8th - Leaders of the Albanian terrorists and separatists from the so-called KLA, leaders of the parties and nonexistent government "officials" - are in control of the organized crime in the southern Serbian province, reports the Bulgarian daily "Sega". This fact has been also confirmed by the UN representatives that came to Kosovo-Metohija in large numbers to allegedly establish some kind of peace and order. Their reports state that those leaders and Albanians from Albania control drug distribution and sale of stolen cars. Hundreds of Albanians in Kosovo-Metohija ...

The November/December issue of The American Enterprise (TAE) magazine carries an interview with Edmund Morris, the official biographer of former US President Ronald Reagan. That interview includes the following exchange: TAE: Was there a particular adviser in Reagan’s inner circle who was the most impressive? Edmund Morris: Oh, yes. Bill Clark. TAE: “Judge Clark,” as he was known. He was Reagan’s chief of staff as governor, and later in Washington he was his National Security Adviser and Secretary of the Interior. Morris: Clark was so private, quiet, and unflamboyant that he’s now largely forgotten. But he’s the most important ...

There have been reports on Free Republic and other places that the Alan Keyes Presidential Campaign has imploded in Iowa, leaving the field to the other four candidates who have chosen to compete here. This is news to me. Keyes has, in fact, devoted significant resources and called in competent and experienced battlefield commanders to make a final push in the 45 days left before the caucus. Despite his being outspent by a 10-1 margin in this state as in others, Keyes is finding those who flock to his standard. He will be crisscrossing the state over the next five ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Although a civil jury has concluded there was a conspiracy to kill the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., a 1 1/2 -year-old Justice Department investigation is not likely to produce any criminal charges, Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder said today. Declining to release specific findings of the probe by the department's civil rights division, Holder told reporters: ``I would not expect that there would be any criminal prosecution out of our report.'' Holder said the report on the new field investigation ordered by Attorney General Janet Reno in August 1998 is almost complete and could be released ...
