For the magic to work, the killing had to be done just right. If the goddess were to grant Khudu Karmakar the awesome powers he expected from a virgin's death, the victim had to be willing, had to know what was happening, watch the knife, and not stop it. But even tranquilizers couldn't lull 15-year-old Manju Kumari to her fate. In his police confession, Karmakar says his wife, daughter and three accomplices had to gag Manju and pin her down on the earthen floor before the shrine. In ritual order, Karmakar wafted incense over her, tore off her blue skirt...

TRIO CON BRIO They don't work together often, but when they do, you can expect the work of Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg and political consultants Bob Shrum and James Carville to be something special for Democrats. And in the case of a recent poll and analysis, their output certainly brought smiles to the faces of people like Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt. That's because the three-headed monster reports that Republicans are highly vulnerable in the 2002 elections. So vulnerable, in fact, that Democrats are in prime position to sweep through statehouses and both houses of Congress. The poll, taken in...

<p>TOUGHTON - The four men emerged Tuesday night from a restroom at BJ's Wholesale Club dressed in fatigue jackets. They took off their shoes and began praying loudly in a language that sounded like Arabic.</p>
<p>Alarmed, customers rushed to the store manager, demanding to know who the men were and what they were doing. When the men left without a word of explanation, the manager called Stoughton police. Within 30 minutes, the police had evacuated the BJ's and called in firetrucks and a State Police bomb squad from Stow.</p>

<p>LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Like any other church group they have their pot luck suppers, charity fundraisers and mid-week fellowship meetings.</p>
<p>The witches and warlocks of Lancaster, California, also happen to practice an ancient, Earth-centered religion known as Paganism, which involves invoking spirits and spells, concocting herbal potions, praying to an array of gods and goddesses, and performing mock "animal sacrifice" rituals by melting chocolate bunnies in fondue pots and eating the gooey remains.</p>

Good Friday/Passover/Easter, 2002 Dear friends, I've never quite figured out why they call it "Good Friday." I mean, for Christ's sake, a guy got nailed to death on a cross! Actually it was THREE guys on that hill in Jerusalem -- the other two being petty thieves who apparently had run afoul of Rome's three-strikes-and-you're-out policy. Maybe someone came up with the term "Good Friday" to try and put a positive spin on things, realizing it's hard to attract converts to your religion with such a downer image of its leader being executed. I've often wondered why the Catholic Church...

To: To All Victims of Elections 2000 Fraud and Corruption The fraud and corruption in the Florida elections process must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by the Justice Department. We, The People must not ever be so complacent that we sit back and allow a bloodless Coup to be successful. This isn't just disenfranchisement, this is fraud and corruption through and through. 1.) The brother as Govenor, campaign co-chair as Secretary of State in charge of elections, 2.) Paid operative thugs being shipped in from Washington to obstruct justice. 3.) Minority voters being unlawfully...

Dead tot's skull used as ashtray 20.02.2002 A Wellington District Court judge listened in disbelief yesterday as he heard how a long-dead baby's skull, stolen from a cemetery, was used as an ashtray and part of its jaw was worn as a necklace. The rest of the remains and the coffin were thrown into the sea. Denis Charles McCarrison, aged 21, student, pleaded guilty to a charge of interfering with human remains and two of burglary. Lachlan Michael Holland, 18, salesman, pleaded guilty to two charges of interfering with human remains, two of burglary and one of theft. Harlen James ...

How political correctness let loose the moose Oliver Burkeman in New York Friday February 22, 2002 The Guardian With five different places called Moose Pond, a Moose Cove, Moose Island, several Moose Creeks and a village called Moosehead, all on the shores of Moosehead Lake, it has always been rather too easy for the inexperienced visitor to get seriously lost in Piscataquis county, a thickly forested outpost of north-western Maine. Now, though, it is even easier. Compelled by a statewide law to change every place name containing the word "squaw", because it is considered offensive to native Americans, reluctant officials ...

Well, it is a bright and sunny morning in Hope, Arkansas. My road trip home for Christmas ended for the night in Hope, which looked okay in the darkness of night and after 12 hours of driving. Waking up this morning, I stepped out for a quick smoke and surveyed the surroundings from my motel balcony... what a SH!THOLE... So this is where the 'Man from Hope' was spawned from. All I can say is, it figures. Today we are mercifully driving out of this dump of a town and continuing west and south into the vastness of Texas. I ...

To: American Voters No public problem can be solved unless it is faced and honestly examined in public. However, problems with the voting system itself are the most serious threats to any government that claims to be "of the people, by the people, and for the people." Beginning last November, we witnessed terrible problems with the voting system. The highest office in the land was not decided in a decisive and legal manner according to the people's will. Instead, there was a monthlong circus, and an amazing decision was finally made--to ignore the only existing and admissible evidence of the ...

Rarely do trial balloons burst so quickly. During the recent British campaign, Tory shadow home secretary Ann Widdecombe had no sooner proposed tougher penalties for marijuana possession than a third of her fellow Tory shadow-cabinet ministers admitted to past marijuana use. Widdecome immediately had to back off. The controversy reflected a split in the party, with the confessors attempting to embarrass Widdecombe politically. But something deeper was at work as well: a nascent attempt to reckon honestly with a drug that has been widely used by baby boomers and their generational successors, a tentative step toward a squaring by the ...

Excuse this vanity post, but I want to speak up about how I feel about celebrating Mothers Day... Everyone who is alive today, in fact - everyone who has ever lived - owes an incredible debt to his or her mother. Without our mother's effort, none of us would have ever been born. Noone can argue that without their particular mother they would have even been around to read this today. Having said that, it is clear that what has happened at Rodeph Sholom school in New York is clearly a case of someone or some organization attempting to press ...

This has been bugging me all day, and sorry if it has been posted already (I searched for 'Jesse Jackson Cincinnati' and found squat), but I have to ask this question: Jesse Jackson was so eager to fly to China and undermine our President's diplomatic efforts to release our brave crew... So why isn't he so hot to be in Cincinnati, Ohio tonight?! People are rioting in the streets, looting and overrunning parts of that city because of what the African-American community there views as a racist act by a white police officer... ...and we hear not a word from ...

A MODEST PROPOSAL TO HONOR RALPH NADER AND MICHAEL MOORE Here's a proposal, let's have the Bush Administration* name the newly announced policy on CO2 emissions after the men who allowed it to be adopted - Ralph Nader and Michael Moore. That way, true credit for environmental disaster can be given to those who deserve it. As a matter of fact, why don't we enact a policy to name every new strip mine, oil derrick, mono-hulled tanker and pipeline after these two traitorous jerks? Can't you see it? "ENRON is pleased to announce the construction of the Nader-Moore Drilling ...

by James K. Glassman One of the deepest mysteries of this New Age is why Silicon Valley -- as a geographic metaphor for smart, productive high-technologists around the country--prefers Democrats to Republicans. In the presidential election, for example, voters in the two counties in the peninsula south of San Francisco--Santa Mateo and Santa Clara -- chose Al Gore over George W. Bush, 63 percent to 32 percent, with 4 percent for Ralph Nader. Republicans have given far more support to the issues that high-tech executives say are dear to them: expanding visas for skilled immigrants, giving China the same ...

Bircher Democrats By Frank Lavin My previous essay pointed out a similarity between the Democratic Party of today and the John Birch Society of fifty years ago in that both groups are conspiracy theorists. The Democratic Party leadership looks at the Florida election results as part of a giant plot, just as the Birchers looked at Communist advances in the Third World as a giant plot. The chief difference, I suppose, is that we know today that there were Moscow-directed activities across the developing world even if they did not fully account for everything that happened there. One of the ...
