Blue Hair War Granny steals the election by Tom Adkins 11/16/00 We can measure the distance between Earth and the moon to a quadrillionth of an inch. We have computers that compute a zillion times a second. We can transplant hearts, transplant hair and clone sheep. But in Palm Beach County, Florida, whose zip code is one of the five highest per-capita incomes in America, they choose their president with a hole-punch voting machine that looks like an eighth grade shop-class project. You would think this Mecca of Blue-Haired Millionaires could afford a better voting booth than Fred Flintstone uses. ...

Sometimes it pays to delay making concession speech by Ramona Smith Daily News Staff Writer In a race already strange, the message from Al Gore to George W. Bush was even stranger: Cancel my concession! As the projected vote tally in Florida flip-flopped early yesterday morning, Gore phoned Bush and told him he was taking back the admission of defeat he'd delivered hours before. "You don't have to get snippy about this," Gore told Bush. "Let me make sure I understand," replied Bush, clutching the victory speech he didn't deliver. "You're calling me back to retract your concession?" Gore ...

  Out for a walk one afternoon I came upon a fence around a cow pasture. On this fence was a sign that stated "Beware of the Bull." Now I am not one to doubt the warnings on signs but it did seem to be a shortcut across the pasture to where I wanted to go. I looked very carefully in every direction and no bull did I see. Weighing the decision extremely well, it seemed that crossing this cow pasture was a safe thing to do, since I could see no bull. Anyway this bull may not be ...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The director of a new political action committee says Al Gore has abandoned the family values of his hometown, Carthage, Tenn., in favor of Hollywood "gay" values, and to prove it is running ads in Carthage's newspaper exposing Gore's ties to homosexual activist groups. The ads, placed in the Carthage Courier by the Americans for Truth PAC (AFTPAC), highlight supportive letters that Vice President Gore wrote to two pro-homosexual groups: an organization that is leading the campaign to pressure the Boy Scouts of America to admit homosexuals and atheists; and to the organizers of ...

Never Again R.C. Doc Weaver Bethlehem, PA - Editorial In another ninety-five days a new President will be sworn in as the forty-third President of the United States, thus ending the most disgraceful and scandal-ridden Presidency of the past two hundred and twenty-four years of our nation. This gives cause for a celebration and a reflection upon things that I never, ever again will have to be witness to. For those West Point, Naval Academy and Air Force friends of mine, I recognize the pain that you in particular have endured these past eight years with this loathsome Commander-In-Chief in ...

For the record - here's another one of Gore's "wrong details": From Transcript of Second Bush-Gore Debate -Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2000: Gore: "And I'm a grandfather now. I want to be able to tell my grandson, when I'm in my later years, that I didn't turn away from the evidence that showed that we were doing some serious harm. In my faith tradition, it is written -- it's written in the book of Matthew, "Where your heart is, there is your treasure also." And I believe that we ought to recognize the value to our children and grandchildren of taking ...

HILLARY CLINTON'S Senate campaign is embroiled in a fresh furore over claims that the President Clinton is avoiding taking a stand on Middle East peace negotiations for fear of offending the Jewish voters of New York, where his wife is running for office. Insiders from the Israeli negotiating team, quoted by the Jerusalem Post, reported that Mr Clinton refused to endorse a United Nations plan to allow Palestinians a limited role in controlling the city's sacred Temple Mount. The paper claimed that he postponed a decision, believing it could prove unpopular in pro-Israeli quarters. The allegations follow other claims ...

Hunting up a signer 07/04/00 By JOEL BEWLEY and TOM HESTER Jr. Staff Writers TRENTON -- As he searched for George Clymer's gravesite last month, George Warnecke had more difficulty than he usually does when trying to find the final resting spots of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. No street sign tells passers-by a founding father is buried in the rear of the 1739 Quaker Meeting House, located at Hanover and Montgomery streets. From the sidewalk, it's not distinguishable from the other graves along the wall of the YWCA that are shaded by a grove of small ...
