The McKinney Questions By ELLIOTT MARTON REED Imagine walking past M-c-K-i-n-n-e-y on Ho Plaza, asking "Hi. Isn't the weather great here?" Her response: "Yes. Bush did steal the election, because as MLK said… so in conclusion, I always fought for blacks in Florida while in Congress." As the second person to pose questions at her "What Kind of America" speech on Nov. 19, I swear this is basically all her standard response entails. Don't professors answer questions in good faith? Real ones do. If I were a less reserved and conservative individual, I would have attended Cynthia M-c-K-i-n-n-e-y's events carrying...

A science fiction writer's irreverent take. 1. NUCLEAR WEAPONS ONE CAN make some sound arguments for nuclear power-medical radioisotopes are quite handy, while far-traveling spacecraft can barely function on anything less-but there is no reason for us to go on pretending that we need to fry entire chunks of continents. Not only are nuclear weapons technically clumsy, but they betray a blatant death wish better suited to al-Qaeda than a civilization. Nowadays, a well-organized state can deftly obliterate any conceivable target with exquisite GPS accuracy. Conventional "daisy cutters" and cluster bombs can be scaled up to any size or potency...

Does Mitch Albom bother anyone here? If so, then please explain. Something about him bothers me. Just thought I would see if anyone else feels the same. Especially if anyone heard what he said about Rush.

There’s a simple and symbolic way local bars and restaurants are fighting back against the Mayor’s ban on smoking here in New York City: they’re ordering Slycraft.com’s “You CAN Fight City Hall” ashtray by the dozens. “This law is killing business,” says one bar owner in the Village. “It’s a nightmare.” The owner purchased 40 ashtrays to pass out to his favorite customers. “Every time I use this I feel much better.” The ashtray has a portrait of the Mayor with the words “You CAN Fight City Hall” around it. “The ashtrays are a means of peaceful protest against this...

A group of demonstrators marched outside the Washington bureau of the New York Times today demanding the resignation of Times Executive Editor Howell Raines. The demonstration was led by the DC Chapter of Free Republic and Accuracy in Media. Demonstrators chanted "Hey, hey, ho, ho. Howell Raines has got to go." They carried signs bearing messages like "Howell, Gerald and Arthur: New York Times Liars Club," "All the Lies That Are Fit to Print," "New York Times: Credibility Quagmire," "A Fish Rots From the Head Down. Fire Howell Raines," and others. They distributed stickers saying "I don't believe The New...

Muslims & Christians: Winning The "Holy War" Of Love & Charity Instead Of Buying Gold Plated Guns Of War Let’s Use The Money To Help The Homeless And Hungry An Op-Editorial By Danney Ball After recently viewing scenes on the nightly news of the many Christian organizations lending a hand in war-torn Iraq and then seeing some scenes of piles of cash and gold plated assault rifles being discovered in various places in that far off country, I got to wondering ... With all of the riches in Arab countries where the predominant religion is Islam, what kind of charity...

Clinton Campaigned in Florida with Roving Eye Ex-President Bill Clinton wasn't able to fulfill his goal on Tuesday of "humiliating the Bushes" by ousting first brother Jeb from the Florida governor's mansion, but maybe that's because he allowed himself to get distracted by other pursuits. "Clinton was campaigning in Florida last week for failed gubernatorial hopeful Bill McBride when the duo - accompanied by two others - stopped at [the] Bice eatery in Palm Beach and caused a patron to lose his temper," reports Chicago Sun-Times gossip maven Michael Sneed. Upon entering the restaurant McBride is said to have waved...

NEW YORK, NY. (c) 2002 ----/ PRIVATE GROUP TO USE FACE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE TO DETECT AND PREVENT VOTER FRAUD (October 16th, 2002) The recent discovery of fraudulent requests for absentee ballots in South Dakota has prompted a private group to help combat voter fraud this election.

Included in these requests was one from a woman who died in early September yet whose ballot request had a date much later in the month. Republicans constantly allege that Democrat activists often...
