D.C. Sexual Predator on the Loose John LeBoutillier Friday, Jan. 5, 2001 The woman came out of her Washington, D.C., house yesterday morning in a hurry to get to work. She saw a folded piece of paper lying in front of her front door. She picked it up and stuffed it in her bag. Then, as she approached her car, she saw another flyer on her car’s windshield. She grabbed that one, too, as she climbed into her car for the morning commute. She noticed yet a third posted flyer on a telephone pole as she turned out of her ...

German squaddies face wind of change GERMAN male soldiers are being politely asked to refrain from breaking wind in their tents or combat vehicles if they happen to be alongside the female recruits who joined combat forces this week. Women in turn are asked to be tolerant if they find the hygiene of their new comrades-in-arms a little wanting. These and other niggling problems in the ranks of what has hitherto been a male preserve are among several headaches for a brass that never wanted women warriors in the first place. Although squaddies will have to undertake Miss Manners-style courses ...

Bush's "First 100 Days"? How about his "First 24 Hours"? By Richard A. Viguerie, President, ConservativeHQ.com George W. Bush took office after a disputed election in which the country was divided nearly in half. What happens now depends on him. He can spend the next four years waiting for Al Gore's comeback, or he can seize the reins of power and lead. Forget the "First 100 Days." He will set the tone of his administration in the first 24 hours. In that first day, he must establish that he is in charge. He must show that, regardless of the ...

Monday | December 18, 2000 Gayle Allen Cox: Good riddance to hopeless man from Hope 12/18/2000 The Dallas Morning News During Bill Clinton's nomination acceptance speech in August 1992, he said, "It is time for a change in America." And once elected, he rode into Washington, promising reformation as never before. Regardless of your political persuasion, you must agree that Mr. Clinton has succeeded in his quest for change. In fact, all sorts of changes have taken place in this country since his inaugural address in January 1993. Let's name a few, shall we? A draft dodger became president. A ...

The Dawning of a Brand New Hustle Ladies and gentlemen, we are at the beginning, at the outset, at the dawning of a brand-new hustle. The hustle is that the Democrats are going to work with us. The hustle is that there is conciliation going on out there. There isn't anything of the sort, and it's proven by all of the news articles cited in my Thursday stack of stuff. Everyone, everywhere, is telling George W. Bush that he must moderate or perish politically. He must tone down the rhetoric, because this election was so close, and he owes it ...

Counting to Infinity By Andrew Sullivan Sunday , December 10, 2000 ; Page B01 As we watch Al Gore in this final, explosive endgame, it's getting harder and harder to recognize the man some of us once admired and supported. I remember a different Al Gore from the one now steamrolling through a thicket of lawsuits and courtrooms. From the late 1980s through the '90s, Gore seemed to represent a truly new kind of Democrat. He emphasized the importance of responsibilities along with rights. He was a liberal who believed in judicial restraint and was part of the decision-making process ...

12/08/00 8 p.m. It's the Legislature's Turn Time to end the legal chess match. By Todd Gaziano, senior fellow in legal studies at The Heritage Foundation NationaL Review There are many routes that this unbelievable Florida drama can take, but if you play all the moves out in this legal chess match, we still end up with President George W. Bush as the winner in almost every game. But before I outline the ways Bush may prevail, here are a few thoughts about judicial overlords masquerading as judges of law. The Florida supreme court's second tour de force of activist ...

12/07/00 2:00 p.m. God Save This Honorable Court Yet another hearing. By Mark R. Levin is president of Landmark Legal Foundation National Review Well, the Florida supreme court held another hearing today, this time to figure out how to reverse Judge Sanders Sauls and order him to order the county canvassing boards to conduct another recount. Al Gore's lawyer, David Boies, insisted today that Judge Sauls failed to examine the thousands of ballots brought to his courthouse by Ryder truck. The insightful justices never did ask Boies what, exactly, Judge Sauls was supposed to see on those ballots, what he ...

12/06/00 9:25 a.m. No Threat The cases of Seminole and Martin Counties. By Mark R. Levin, president of Landmark Legal Foundation, & Arthur F. Fergenson, attorney and former special assistant U.S. attorney National Review Let's put the supposed legal threat to George W. Bush's presidency posed by the lawsuits in Seminole and Martin Counties to rest. Thousands of absentee ballots were cast in these counties. The computer software used to mark the ballot envelopes with identification numbers failed. Therefore, Republicans hand marked thousands of envelopes with the identification numbers. When the absentee ballots were counted, they were separated from their ...

12/02/00 10:30 a.m. Betting on Boies Gore has met his match. By David B. Hill, director of Hill Research Consultants, a political polling and strategy firm based in Texas. AUTHOR’S NOTE: Among Hill's recent clients are Michigan Gov. John Engler, Indiana congressman Steve Buyer, and the successful campaign to defeat the statewide anti-growth amendment in Colorado. Al Gore has spent the better part of the 2000 Campaign claiming to champion the cause of victims. Ironically, his unprecedented effort to litigate his way to victory is likely to seal his reputation as one of the greatest victims of trial-lawyer manipulation in ...

Basic Living Instructions for Palm Beach County Democrats by Shelley McKinney Democratic residents of Palm Beach County, Florida, as I prepare to file this article, a case is almost ready to be heard in the Florida Supreme Court which asserts that the "butterfly ballot" was too confusing for all of you. I would never want to alienate you right from the start of this article by reminding you that I am a Republican, and a Republican who thinks you're all a bunch of feckless dimwits, to boot. I just want to be kindly and helpful and give you a few ...

ELECTION 2000 An Open Letter to Democrats This time, you've gone too far. BY DENNIS PRAGER Thursday, November 30, 2000 12:01 a.m. EST You finally made a big mistake. You probably never thought you would live to see middle America and mainstream Republicans galvanized to resist your ongoing takeover of America. But like other power-hungry groups in history, you didn't know when to hold back. Your party and its standard bearer, Al Gore, have attempted to thwart an election not in the quiet of the night (as in 1960) but in daylight, before the cameras of the world. And finally ...

Can you believe this. Only dimpled and pregnant "undervotes". Not the over 600,000 other votes. SOS should absolutely not certify. Emergency.

The Speech Somewhere in Florida November 20, 2000 "Be seated." "Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men ...

Monday, November 20, 2000 Pilot's wife says husband disappointed his vote wasn't counted Daytona Beach News-Journal wire services JACKSONVILLE - The wife of a Navy pilot said her husband was disappointed his absentee ballot was thrown out because it did not have a postmark. Abby Krug's husband, Lt. Chad Krug, is stationed aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington. She learned late Saturday that his vote was one of the 44 overseas ballots which had been tossed out by the Duval County canvassing board. Krug passed that information along to her husband when they spoke briefly on Sunday. "My husband ...

How Democrats Wage Political War Controlling the government is imperative to the party's survival. BY CLETA MITCHELL Monday, November 20, 2000 12:01 a.m. EST In case you're bewildered by the machinations of the Gore campaign-turned-law-firm, let there be no doubt that the goings on in Florida are perfectly in keeping with the way Democrats normally think and behave. Lawsuits are a key part of the Democrats' political strategy, so nothing about Florida should surprise anyone who has spent time in the Democratic Party. Until 1995, I was a Democrat. I've been a Democrat elected official, a party official and an ...

Suggested new ballots for Palm Beach County:

Clear choice: Bush Published in The Orlando Sentinel on October 29, 2000 In a little more than a week, Americans will pick their first new president of the 21st century -- requiring that they weigh some very conflicting evidence. The United States, the world's only remaining superpower, is at peace. Employment is at an all-time high. And the economy is in its longest boom in history. Americans, though, are detached from -- some even disgusted by -- the government that presides over such good times. Coarse behavior, infantile squabbling and naked greed at the top have undermined people's trust in ...
