It seemed like the perfect gimmick: a celebrity porn star would launch her own wine, with her alluring picture on the label. Savanna Samson did just that, but when it received a score of 90 to 91 out of 100 by wine guru Robert Parker, the project became serious. It turns out Samson, the star of "The New Devil in Miss Jones," has produced an exceptional wine, becoming the toast of two industries: wine-making and pornography. "I never wanted to just do gimmick. That would just happen with me being a porn star, me having a photographer shoot the label,...

In three years, the United States will know who the Democratic and Republican nominees for president will be. Today, many have anointed their choice of Democratic nominee, Sen. Hillary Clinton from New York. In choosing a president, the country is, of course, also choosing a commander-in-chief, the most solemn of jobs performed by the president as he or she undertakes to "provide for the common defense."

WASHINGTON -- Members of the inner circle of high-ranking House Republicans privately agree that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York is an absolute lock for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination and will not be easy to defeat in the general election. The same lawmakers believe the Republican race to oppose Clinton is wide open but regard Sen. George Allen of Virginia as having the edge over Sen. Bill Frist of Tennessee. The consensus among them is that Allen is a better candidate than Frist and will the advantage over him in GOP primaries. The House members see little or...

Today Sean Hannity had Peter Paul on his show. Who is Peter Paul? Well you may ask, he is the primary organizer of the August 12, 2000 Hollywood Gala Salute to President Clinton. According to the website Hillcap this was a combination Salute and Fundraiser for Hillary's 2000 Senatorial campaign. The gala ended up costing Paul 1.2 million dollars and raised one-million dollars in hard money for Hillary's coffers. The problem, Hillary's campaign only declared a cost of $400 thousand resulting in a net additional $800 thousand of "in kind" contribution by Paul. Why is this a problem? Because under...

An organization representing up to half a billion Christians worldwide has encouraged its member churches to divest from companies that participate in "illegal activities" in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The central committee of the World Council of Churches, which represents more than 340 Protestant and Orthodox churches in more than 120 countries, announced the decision on Monday, toward the conclusion of the governing body's meeting in Geneva. It specifically noted the "process of phased, selective divestment from multinational corporations involved in the occupation" now being implemented by the Presbyterian Church (USA). "This action is commendable in both method...

June 30, 2004 -- "Many of you are well enough off that . . . the tax cuts may have helped you.

SAN FRANCISCO — The heavily Democratic San Francisco Bay area welcomed two of its political darlings Monday, with former President Clinton continuing his blockbuster book tour and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton headlining a campaign fund-raiser. Joining other Democratic women senators at an event for Sen. Barbara Boxer, who's seeking re-election, Hillary Clinton told hundreds of party faithful to expect to lose some of the tax cuts passed under President Bush if Democrats take control in Washington next year. "Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We're saying...

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-Cuba), speaking at a Democratic party fundraiser in San Francisco yesterday, was remarkably frank about the Democrats' intentions to use socialist redistribution policies if the party gains power after the November elections.As reported by the Associated Press, Sen. Clinton said, "Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."With her blunt statement,...

Hillary's path to the White House May 7th, 2004 Hillary Clinton is ambitious, audacious, and fully capable of creating devious, multi-step strategies. Blindsiding her fervent opponents, she may yet shock the world and realize her longstanding ambition to win election as President -- in the year 2004. Doing so would only require her to use tactics which she and her husband have already perfected. Small signs already indicate she and her husband are laying the foundations for a fascinating gambit which could land her in the Oval Office next year. Step one requires her to obtain the nomination as Vice...

Dear Saddam, Remember when we first met on that magic night in Baghdad in 1983? You were gassing those wacky Iranians with chemical weapons and having a grand old time, but Ronnie and I just said hey, 'dictators will be dictators' - know what I mean?!! Hahaha. It's a good thing we sold you all those weapons and military equipment that you used in crushing your own people. Lord knows what might have happened if we hadn't stepped in to help you out. What a time it was too! We sold you all kinds of fun things - anthrax, VX...

Hillary Clinton is running for president. That's the verdict of the Washington Post, a newspaper that could hardly be described as an organ of Hillary's "vast right-wing conspiracy." "In recent days a half-dozen leading Democrats have delivered major speeches on foreign policy," notes the Post on its Thursday editorial page. "Mostly, they follow a similar track. Presidential candidates Howard Dean, John Edwards, John F. Kerry, Joseph I. Lieberman and Wesley K. Clark and shadow candidate Hillary Clinton accept many of the goals of the Bush administration but diverge sharply on the means to achieve them." A few lines later the...

missus clinton's Sunday-Circuit, pink-suited panic  by Mia T, December 7,2003   issus clinton failed to notice: 'living history' begets a certain symmetry. How fitting it is that the clintons were forced to reveal their inept and treasonous hand on this day, exactly 62 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor. One has to surmise from hillary clinton's Sunday-Circuit, pink-suited panic that clinton in-house polling has the missus out-polling Jane Fonda for the Tokyo-Rose prize. (Incidentally, someone ought to clue in her dresser: exculpation-by-pink-suit can work only once; notwithstanding, a treasonous middle-aged matron in a pink suit reads: "dowdy treasonous...

Is the drafting of Senator Hillary Clinton, for president, the secret plan to put her in the running? This move would allow her to save face by not going back on her word - that she will serve out her full six-year term. The New York Daily News reported that former President Bill Clinton was brainstorming a way for Senator Hillary to sidestep her pledge not to run for President in 2004. The former First Lady continually sends mixed messages designed to peak public interest -- creating an air of mystery. It isn't by happenstance that she looms in the...

Door may be open for Hil With no Dem front-runner, pros say she could step in By MICHAEL R. BLOODDAILY NEWS POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT With none of the Democratic presidential wanna-bes rising out of the teens in national polls, some political experts are theorizing that it could happen - Sen. Hillary Clinton gets into the race. "If nobody ... solidifies a position by mid-March, I think you are going to find a real surge and opportunity for someone like Hillary," said Donald Robinson, a professor of government at Smith College. "It presents, maybe for the first time since 1952, [the...

This just in from our friends over at Citizen Lobby; HILLARY TO ANNOUNCE FOR PREZ NOVEMBER 15TH? Die-hard liberals may be marking their calendars for the announcement of their dream candidate for president: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Speculation continues to mount over Hillary's ambitions for the White House and whether she'll enter the race in 2004, instead of waiting for 2008.

The most recent...
