TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Broke and without enough money in the bank to pay its bills after the end of the month, the Florida Democratic Party has now been slapped with a lien by the Internal Revenue Service for failing to pay payroll and Social Security taxes in 2003. The state party's budget and finance committee voted Tuesday to ask for a new audit to account for more than $900,000 it believes somehow disappeared from the books during the 2003-2004 calendar years when the party was led by Scott Maddox, who is now seeking its nomination for governor. Maddox and successor...

November 27, 2003 (ELGIN, Ill.) — A high school fed up with students wearing hooded sweat shirts to get around a dress code banning headgear has banned the shirts. Gifford Street High School officials last week told students to leave the "hoodies" at home, Elgin School District U-46 spokesman Larry Ascough said. It's a hard stance that has angered some students and their parents, who say they shouldn't have to pay for new cold-weather clothing and that the rule is silly. "The school sent my daughter home because she was wearing a hooded sweat shirt," Jim Frederick said. "Come on....

EX-KLANSMAN Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white nigger" twice on national TV this weekend. Enraged civil rights groups organized a protest campaign against Sen. Byrd and demanded that he undergo sensitivity training ... not. The ex-Klansman, you see, is a Democrat. Democrats can join hate groups and utter the ugliest racial slurs and get away with it because they are Democrats. They belong to the party of racial tolerance and understanding. They're paragons of virtue, and the rest of us are bigoted rubes. The ex-Klansman showed his true colors when asked by Fox...

Spectators boo as fashion models sport nooses and hoods Models sporting nooses, execution-style hoods and body-covering bandages triggered howls of protest and walkouts at Madrid's most prestigious fashion show. Carrying rosaries or crucifixes, they paraded - and stumbled - to the sounds of a man's voice saying the Lord's Prayer, followed by a woman panting erotically and iron bars screeching as they opened and closed. Spectators at the finale of the Pasarela Cibeles fashion show last night booed, whistled and called out to the vision-impaired models to guide them after some tripped. Some in the crowd said the hoods recalled...
