ALEXANDRA ROBBINS: George W. said in the 1980's, that -- to a woman who was a graduate of Yale -- that women would be the downfall of Yale.
One other thing interesting about Kerry that I wanted to mention is that both of his wives have been directly related to members of Skull and Bones. A sister and daughter which is another connection to Skull and Bones that people don't usually know about.

Dennis Miller (news) has usually been happy to spray his acerbic wit across the political spectrum, but things will be different on his new CNBC talk program. President Bush (news - web sites) is in a mock-free zone.
"I like him," Miller explained. "I'm going to give him a pass. I take care of my friends."
The liberal media watchdog Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting accused CNBC of a conflict of interest in hiring GOP consultant Mike Murphy, an adviser to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger , as a producer for Miller's show.
He's been having fun putting the show together, posing with a chain saw in promos and promising to obliterate the line between news and entertainment.

Many marriage-based benefits, for instance, are seen as proxies for helping families with children. Yet marriage is no longer a good indicator of parenthood. As of 2000, one in three children were born to unmarried parents. Distributing benefits intended to support child rearing on the basis of marital status gives a windfall to childless married couples while leaving empty handed single parents and their children ? who as a group already face harsher realities.

And what's clear to us now is that clearly the President is worried about the status of the Patriot Act. If he wasn?t worried it wouldn't be in his Presidential State of the Union Address.


Lines which, when spoken, lead Bush to stare directly into the camera13 instances, i.e. 13 discrete messages conveyed to his supporters, i.e. 13 soundbites created for the news recaps

Lines which, when spoken, lead CNN's cameras to focus on Sen. Ted Kennedy (D) and his various scowls
3 instances in which this occurred, conveying liberals' disgust with Bush's statements
1. "The bill you passed gave prescription drug benefits to seniors"...
2. "Had we failed to act, the dictator's weapons of mass destruction programs would continue to this day"...
3. "Starting this year, millions of Americans will be able to save money, tax-free, for their medical expenses in a health savings account."


According to the comprehensive survey conducted with state-of-the-art equipment, The Falklands Shelf conservatively contained slightly more than ten times the total oil reserves of Saudi Arabia.
Some of the data were photocopied out of interest amid loud ?Oohs? and Ahhs? generated by the mind-numbing figures, but the photocopying turned out to be a serious mistake. By 1989 all but two of the British people who had access to this extraordinary information met with fatal accidents. Of the two survivors, one changed names and moved to a different industry, while I chose exile in a sleepy Australian backwater.

In essence, the entire American continent, from Inuvik in northern Canada to the southern tip of Tierra Del Fuego, is to be invaded and captured for Zionist use, with the cabal exercising central command and control from New York City, currently located in the much smaller United States of America. Within this new massive fortress, the USA will be the focal point of all significant economic activities, with Canada and the former countries of Latin and South America providing the bulk of natural resources and cheap labor.
At the same time, a further smaller block of 10,000 Yisraelim terrorists will enter Australia in order to capture and hold strategic mineral reserves, though this is an entirely separate operation that will not impact directly on the Americas.
The Zionist cabal was delighted because it knew full well that the Argentine Government could later be bought off or exterminated, with the massive Falklands oil reserves subsequently being added to Fortress Americas energy assets. But the cabal's delight was to be short-lived, because the Zionists were still unaware that copies of the real report had been accidentally circulated to a small number of people at British Petroleum in London. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had therefore been watching Argentina like a hawk for five months, and responded to the expected invasion within three days of the capture of Stanley, dispatching a large battle fleet from Britain on 5 April 1982.
Intelligence received in 2003 indicates that Dimona has so far manufactured in excess of 600 of these exotic weapons. Most micro nukes remain in Palestine, though 220 have allegedly been pre-positioned in North and South America, with a further six deployed to Western Australia.

Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair contend that the war in Colombia isn't about drugs. It's about the annihilation of popular uprisings by Indian peasants fending off the ravages of oil companies, cattle barons and mining firms. It is a counter-insurgency war, designed to clear the way for American corporations to set up shop in Colombia.

Another problem resulting from the Colombian "drug war" has been the health consequences of the U.S. -sponsored aerial fumigation. Since January 2001, Colombian aircraft have been spraying toxic herbicides over Colombian fields in order to kill opium poppy and coca plants. These sprayings are killing food crops that indigenous Colombians depend on for survival, as well as harming their health. The sprayings have killed fish, livestock, and have contaminated water supplies.

The release of previously classified documents makes it clear that former President Gerald Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, in a face-to-face meeting in Jakarta, gave then President Suharto a green light for the 1975 invasion of East Timor.

A quiet war against abortion rights is being conducted by many local governments in the United States. Cities and counties are placing repressive legal restrictions on abortion providers under the guise of women's health laws. These restrictions can include: width of hallways, jet and angle type of drinking fountains, the heights of ceilings, and how long one must wait between initially seeing the doctor and when the procedure can be performed.
These legal ordinances are known as TRAP laws. TRAP stands for Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers.

Louisiana's newest anti-abortion law, known as the civil-liability law, would allow any woman who has had the procedure to sue the doctor for up to 10 years -- not just for her own injuries, but also for "damages occasioned by the unborn child."
