    SURFSIDE BEACH | The U.S. post office in Surfside Beach has been closed indefinitely following a preliminary test result that showed a postal worker who'd been ill may have cutaneous anthrax. The branch, at 420 U.S. 17 N., was closed Tuesday morning after preliminary tests showed that the worker, whose name was not released, may have been exposed to the form of anthrax that occurs through skin contact, said Myrtle Beach Postmaster Michael Bosch. Surfside's town administrator said he got a call at 8:30 a.m. from the postmaster, notifying him of the possible anthrax case. Workers inside the building have ...
  • Bush Kin Predicts China Will Overtake U.S.

    President Bush's uncle, Prescott S. Bush Jr., predicts that Communist China will supplant the United States as the world's No. 1 economic power within the next half-century. Prescott currently serves as chairman of the U.S.-China Chamber of Commerce. In a letter to prospective members, he wrote: "China has a special place in my heart. I have been personally involved in China for over 15 years. My brother, George [the former president] has been instrumental in the development of U.S. and China relations since 1974. "I, like many others, strongly believe that China will be the world's largest economy in the ...

  • DC FReepers Please Protest For US At Chinese Embassy!

    04/02/2001 10:35:26 AM PDT · by BobWNY · 173+ views
    Would the DC FReepers Chapter please organize a protest at the Chinese embassy. The news has covered how the Chinese "people" have been protesting at the US embassy. Let us show support for the American hostages and protest and plant yellow ribbons at the Chinese embassy. Also, all local FReepers/Chapters should find out where they can tie yellow ribbons for our US servicemen and women being held hostage in China. Hopefully our servicemen and women are remembering their SERE training and were able to destroy the critical parts of the plane.
  • US Army Still Buying Black Berets From China?

    04/02/2001 7:41:21 AM PDT · by BobWNY · 165+ views
    I wonder if the US Army still plan on buying those Black Berets from the Chinese? If that is the case, they could save on the shipping cost. When the Chinese rip out all the intel/eletronics gear on the E3, they can fill it up with some of the prison labor Black Berets to fly back with. Just curious on what you think, especially ex-Army. Also, sorry about the screw up in my earlier posts on this Chinese issue and screwing up my tags causing problems with the threads.
  • MFN Voting Status By Sen Chuckie Schumer NY State

    04/02/2001 7:32:50 AM PDT · by BobWNY
    Hello, I thought my fellow New Yorkers might like to know I just contacted the Syracuse office of Sen Chuckie Schumer and requested how he voted for Chinese MFN. The woman answering did not know and asked for my name and address to mail me the answer. I find this funny since I called Rep. Jim Walsh's office prior to this and they looked up the information and called me back on it. It is good to see how Schumer's office personnel have no idea on how their boss votes. Of course, the reason I am calling my reps is ...
  • Syracuse St Patricks Parade Including Sen Clinton and Schumer

    This is to inform any NY or Upsstate FReepers that our favorite Senators, Comrade Clinton and Schumer will be involved with the Syracuse New York St. Patrick's Day Parade. So please attend the parade and thank our Senators for all they do for us in the means of gun-control, promoting abortion, and government coruption. Oopps! Pardon Me, I meant to say corruption. It is a shame that the local Bishop does not comment on this. If anyone is planning on protesting let me know!

  • Catholic Bishop Complains Hillary Misused Church

    11/01/2000 11:16:09 AM PST · by BobWNY
    Catholic Bishop Complains Hillary Misused Church A spokesman for an upstate New York Catholic diocese confirmed to NewsMax.com Tuesday that its bishop has launched an investigation into who invited Senate candidate Hillary Clinton to speak at a local church this past Sunday - despite a recent edict barring political events on church property. Several pro-life protesters who objected to Mrs. Clinton's appearance at Rochester's St. Michael's Church were removed by security. "I regret that this event took place and apologize for any confusion that may have resulted," Rochester Bishop Matthew Clark told the Associated Press Monday. Clark said the first ...
