SYDNEY (Reuters) - Is it a UFO, space junk, a meteorite or simply frozen sewage? Whatever it turns out to be a mysterious flying object has landed in an Australian country dam, leaving a large crater, and sunk beneath the mud. Air tests around the dam found no radioactivity, but water supplies from the dam to the nearby town of Guyra have been cut. Police have also erected a one-mile no go zone around the dam, as curious locals and scores of media descend on the sleepy town of Guyra, 250 miles north of Sydney. "At this stage we don't ...

You may recall that the first act of this story of two degenerates maintained by iterating idiots, farce of farce ad infinitum, was generated quite by accident by iterated AlGoreRhythm, who, it should be noted, is now himself the object of iterated calculation by said degenerates who want iteration 2004 all for themselves. And thus the odd bit of bloody Gore in Act II: The ugly sight of a corrupt, bottom-heavy hillary self-impaled on the horns of a Treason-Dilemma-masquerading-as-a-Third-Term-Dilemma-masquerading-as-a-Senate-stampede, for example, or bill's recent unsolicited, underwhelming Times interview on the Gore candidacy. --from INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS   ...

Confederate flag a symbol of evil Tuesday, October 19, 1999 Phil Kadner -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hate the Confederate flag. It not only symbolizes the most shameful episode in United States history (legalized slavery), but continues to represent ignorance, cowardice and racism. U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) has made it known that he will not approve the appointment of Carol Moseley-Braun as ambassador to New Zealand until she apologizes for comments she made about the Confederate flag six years ago when she served as a senator from the state of Illinois. "At the very minimum, she has got to apologize for the ...

Stung by criticism from a range of Mayor Giuliani's political foes — from TV host Rosie O'Donnell to Senate candidate Hillary Clinton — city officials last week sought to defend the mayor's tough new homeless policies in an interview with the Sunday News. The officials insisted that the new rules are fair and humane, and vowed that no children or families would be thrown out of shelters pending a fair review process. "We don't kick them out on the street," said Jason Turner, commissioner of the city's Human Resources Administration. "There are opportunities for the person to appeal." The anti-Giuliani ...

Comments for those who are not watching. Wolf Blitzer is the moderator

Anyone see the great segment with Porter Goss and especially Paul Redmond ? Finally the truth is being shown to the public !

The outpouring of opposition to the World Trade Organization has severely shaken the free-trade wing of the Democratic Party, threatened grass-roots union support for Al Gore's presidential campaign and potentially undermined the party's hopes of retaking the House. The spectacular collapse of the WTO talks in Seattle could have a major impact on American politics next year, particularly for the Democrats: Trade has become a major fault line in a party struggling to unify before crucial national elections, according to politicians, labor leaders and analysts. Democrats are counting on a big grass-roots effort by labor unions, environmental groups and other ...

My fellow freepers. I am trying something new here so bear with me. I took 37 digital photos yesterday at the Orlando "Twofer" Protest and I am trying out a new web page that McMuffin used to send me the Sexual Predator Alert flyer. It's called www.photoprint.com. It's free and you can upload photos, creat albums, store them and then email them to anyone. I've just set up my first album and am trying to link with it so everyone can see my photos. It worked with my first photo. It's time consuming since it is new to me but ...

As Americans ponder the sweeping changes a new century will bring, they also will be asked to choose a new leader. Bill Bradley - one-time professional basketball star, three-term U.S. Senator, author - is best prepared for the job. Through a lifetime of accomplishment and on the campaign trail this year, Bradley has distinguished himself from the pack on critical issues and qualities of leadership. Why a presidential endorsement 11 months before the election? Two reasons: A campaign that began earlier than ever and a field that may be narrowed to two main contenders in caucuses and major primaries by ...

December 12, 1999 Margaret Thatcher was not pleased by her inclusion in television commercials boosting Steve Forbes for the Republican presidential nomination, and made clear to George W. Bush that it was used without her permission. Lady Thatcher appears with Forbes on film, but only briefly and silently. There is no claim that the former British prime minister has endorsed or is supporting the magazine publisher. But her mere presence in the ad was enough to make Thatcher complain. A footnote: The Bush-Forbes relationship is deteriorating. Forbes did not care for Bush researchers digging up his 22-year-old column on Social ...

Folks lore Man's memories of 20th century include Depression, WWI, birth of the auto Sunday, December 12, 1999By Bradley Flory Staff Writer There is still a sparkle in the eyes that have seen every second of the 20th century, even though the vision has dimmed. The trademark smile still comes easily. Even at age 102, he still helps people in his little community. If there were a Man of the Century for Jackson County, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better candidate than Jim Folks. "The best part of living in three centuries is not living so long, but ...

That other guy, you know, that kid whose father was the President once, the kid who wants the job now, at least he talks about compassion. This guy, he'd like to kill us if he could." The 36-year-old speaking to me as he sat in a large cardboard box on a street in the Bronx has been homeless for five months. He wouldn't use his real name — "they'll find me, you know," he says — and he admits, "I'm not really a smart guy," but he knows enough to know he was speaking about George W. Bush and ...
