<p>Maybe there is something to the old injunction not to trust anyone over 30--at least on campus. Within the confines of the faculty lounges where graying radicals are now ensconced, September 11 may be seen as another example of America paying for its sins. Yet students seem to have recognized it for what it is: their Pearl Harbor.</p>

Indian politicians are considering giving televisions to people in the hope they'll watch the box rather than have sex. Health minister CP Thakur told lawmakers people were having sex because they were starved of other entertainment. He claimed a prolonged powercut in New York had once led to a baby boom. "Entertainment is an important component of the population policy. We want people to watch television," Mr Thakur said. Socialist Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav asked if cheap television sets could be made available for poor people. Mr Thakur said the government is considering the option. According to The Times ...

VARANASI, India (Reuters) - Doctors in the Indian city of Varanasi have finally discovered the reason for a surge in the popularity of the free condoms they have been dishing out for family planning. Weavers in the holy Hindu city, also known for its silk industry, have been using government-distributed condoms to help in producing hand-woven silk sarees. Weavers rub the condoms on bobbins to speed up the weaving and stop yarn from snapping while making their world-famous brocade sarees. "It is the fine quality lubricant on the condom that does the wonder trick of speeding up the spin ...

The news that Janet Reno is even being considered as a serious candidate for governor of Florida should make Americans of all political persuasions shudder. Reports that recent polls give her an excellent chance against Governor Jeb Bush, even with a primary fight for the Democratic nomination, should remind us just how far the United States has fallen away from its Founders' desire to restrict government in favor of empowering the rights and protecting the liberties of individual citizens. Janet Reno's tenure as Attorney General was the culmination of a quarter century of increasingly outrageous attacks on the civil ...

Did Tom Daschle lie to Tim Russert on Meet the Press last Sunday? It certainly looks that way. When asked by Russert about a recent party at the vice president's residence, Daschle tsk-tsked, calling it "inappropriate." But, as Russert quickly pointed out, Daschle had held a $5,000-per-person fundraiser for about 100 of his donors near the top of George Washington's head on Mt. Rushmore in October of 1997. Daschle proceeded to dodge and weave. He tried to pass off the donors as "friends." But his buddies at this event included lobbyists for Bell Atlantic, Bellsouth, Ameritech, Sprint, Miller Brewing ...

I don't do vanities as a rule, however, watching Hardball when I got up for work at 4 this AM, During a colloquy with CM, James Warren said that yes, he also heard Boies drag the Illinois decision into Judge Sauls courtroom, and that the Bush lawyers (he had spoken to) were waiting to nail him on it.... When I saw the hearing repeated on C-SPAN at 5, there are two Bush lawyers sitting against the wall, as Boies goes into his "Standard from Illinois" schpiel, one guy's face lights up like a Lightbulb and he nudges the other ...

California race tightens Republican George W. Bush is closing in on Vice President Al Gore in California, where a new poll shows the Republican nominee trailing by only five percentage points. The Zogby International survey of 805 likely voters, conducted Oct. 6-8 after the first presidential debate, showed Mr. Gore leading 44 percent to 39 percent. Green Party candidate Ralph Nader had 6 percent; the survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points. Previous polls in California had Mr. Gore leading by as much as 13 percent, and the last Zogby survey in the state ...

FORCED TO HER KNEES by an urgently insistent Al Gore, the young woman cried out for help. Liberals nearby watched silently, like cattle in a slaughterhouse, afraid to challenge the unexpected sexual impulse of the Democratic Party’s heir apparent. If, like his master Bill Clinton, the man who set records for putting vice in the Vice Presidency now wished to sacrifice a virgin to his urges, so be it. It was his droit du seigneur, the only right honored by the Democratic Party’s feudal rulers vis-a-vis their vassals. Perhaps it was Gore’s attempt to turn himself into an alpha male. ...

George W. Bush officially asked former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney to be his running mate Tuesday morning, Fox News has learned. Bush spokeswoman Karen Hughes said Bush called his selection for the vice presidency at 6:22 a.m. CDT from the governor's mansion in Austin. Hughes, who would not identify Bush's choice, said the running mate accepted the offer. The new GOP presidential ticket planned a news conference for later Tuesday and a trip to Cheney's home state of Wyoming on Wednesday. The official announcement promised to be an anticlimatic ending to a top-secret search involving a score of prominent ...

Mr Chairman, As long as this 'open primary' travesty is allowed to continue,and,allowing a self-centered, non Republican senator to conduct a Clintonian campaign AGAINST our partys principles, I shall not be contributing to any campaign. It is incumbent upon you ,sir, to publicly call on Senator McCain,to either, run as a Republican, or enter the Democratic primary. As long as the RNC abandons rank and file members by not speaking out, I hope others shall follow this path, and treat you with the disdain those of us in America feel we have been treated with....
