I just posted this over at Townhall.com In Re: Judge Dismissing BO Birth Certificate Case Thought it might be of interest. --------------------------------------------------- While doing a little of my own "Fact-Checking", I ran across some interesting linkage between U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick and one Barack H. Obama. As we all know, Barack and Michelle worked at Sidley Austin law when they met. Also working with Michelle at Sidley at the same time was one Bernardine Dohrn, beloved wife of Bill Ayers. Now it turns out a fellow named Christopher B. Seaman is the former law clerk for U.S. District...

Congressmen Jim McDermott and David Bonior have "MISLED" the American people about their Vietnam service.  During their Baghdad press conference, both McDermott and Bonior touted their Vietnam combat service, while calling President Bush a liar and praising Sadam Hussein's openness and cooperation.  Upon returning to the U.S., the two congressmen held a press conference and again highlighted their Vietnam combat service, as an obvious measure to boost their qualifications to remark on the horrors of war. Following the news conference, McDermott appeared on MSNBC and once again clearly established at the onset of the interview that he had served in...

Story | Next Story -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The case of three Chinese charged with stealing commercial secrets from US telecommunications equipment giant Lucent Technologies is being blown out of proportion by the American media and far right, a state newspaper said yesterday. The Global Times, published by the People's Daily, said there was no evidence linking the three to the Central Government or any state company. It was the first report in an official newspaper of the case. Last Friday, two scientists with ...

Chinese Religious Leaders Protest Against U.S. Report 2001.05.05 22:12:01    BEIJING, May 5 (Xinhuanet) -- Leaders of China's five national  religious groups Saturday protested vigorously against a United  States report on international religious affairs, which criticized religious freedom in China, and the country's effort to ban the  evil cult Falungong.   They said the China-related part of the 2001 annual report  released on May 1 by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom "distorted facts with ulterior motives" and are  completely unacceptable to them.   Fu Tieshan, chairman of the Chinese Patriotic Catholic  Association, said Catholic followers in China enjoy freedom of  religion.   He described the U.S. report as a sheer fabrication and an  attempt to call white black, which violates the basic norms of  international relations and grossly interferes in China's internal affairs.   "There is no way that religious figures like us would accept it, " he said.   On the Falungong cult, Fu said it is not a religion at all but  an evil cult that is against the human being, science and society.   He went on to say that by attempting to speak for such a cult,  the U.S. aims to take advantage of the cult to destabilize China  and hinder its economic development.   Yu Xinli, deputy-president of the China Christian Council, said Chinese Christians are firmly opposed to the Falungong cult, and " people in China do enjoy freedom of religion."   "Today in China, Chinese Christians enjoy the freedom to  conduct religious activities -- it serves as a good example of how good the situation is."   Yu accused the hegemonism of the United States of being "the  source of all evils" of the world, referring to the recent wars  the U.S. has launched around the world, its attempts to revise the Anti-ballistic Missile Treaty, and reject the Kyoto protocol  designed by the world community to fight global warming by curbing greenhouse gas emissions.   "The way they interfere in other country's internal affairs is  outrageous," said Yu.    Zhang Jiyu, deputy-president of China Taoist Association,  expressed his indignation about the U.S. report.    "The report went so far as to treat the evil cult Falungong,  rejected in disgust by the Chinese religious circles and the  Chinese people, as a religion," said Zhang.   "The report also described China's legitimate ban of such an  evil cult, and efforts to educate and save practitioners of the  cult as acts of suppression."   "Falungong is not a religion, and Li Hongzhi, leader of the  cult, has long made it clear time and again," he said. "We are  wondering how it has turned into a religious group in the U.S."   Chen Guangyuan, president of the Islamic Association of China,  said the U.S. report is full of distortion and fabrication.   "It has ulterior motives and the way they fabricated the report is despicable," he said. "As the president of the Islamic  Association of China, I lodge my strong protest against the report. It is a responsible, reasonable, legitimate and popular move taken by the Chinese government to ban the evil cut, but some Americans  are making a rather big fuss about China's efforts to remove the  cancer."    Dao Shuren, deputy president of the Buddhist Association of  China, said the United States adopts double standards on human  rights and religious issues in a bid to defame China and interfere in China's internal affairs.   "Buddhism stresses comeuppance -- goodness necessitates a  sharing of itself, sow the wind and reap the whirlwind."   Referring to United States' recent failure to retain its seat  at the United Nations Human Rights Commission, Dao said its a  comeuppance for the United States for its wrongdoings.   Qoxi, deputy president of the China Advanced Institute of  Tibetan Buddhism, said the attack by the U.S. report on China's " right policies on freedom of religion and evil cults" constitutes  again a gross interference in China's international affairs.   Enditem

NAACP Ad Goes Over the Line -- PART 2 Mort Kondrake says he is outraged. Well Big Deal. Why is the NAACP not under IRS investigation ? Take a look at this material found at the NAACP web site. By the way, if the pickup truck with the chain dragging down the road isn't in absolute violation of the law, what the hell is?

  2000 Sleepover Gore-Hillary Dbase UPDATE  Opensecrets.org (Center For Responsive Politics) has posted a "preliminary analysis" of overnighters and links to campaign contributors.  What's wrong with the picture they show?  I've gone back and reviewed their data. If one takes the 361 friends-in-process and factors it with the 98 who reportedly gave cash, you come up with around 25%.  But if the WH gang wanted to distort the picture, all that need be done is to include the friends' spouses, soul-mates, kids, cats and dogs to get the factor down to an acceptable percentage level. And then toss in ...
