Windsor, Calif- A newly imposed ban on sexually suggestive dance moves prompted hundreds of teenagers to boycott a Hawaiian-themed party in their high school gymnasium. Windsor High School only sold 56 tickets to Friday night's semiformal Turnabout Dance, which usually draws as many as 500 students. It was the first dance where Windsor students — and their parents — had to sign a good-behavior contract to get tickets. The contract forbids dancers from "sexual" squatting or bending and from touching breasts, buttocks or genitals. The school bans music from the hip-hop genre "hyphy" and any move where one person's buttocks...

With Valentine’s Day approaching, a Black River Falls, Wis., couple apparently decided to show their affection a little too publicly while shopping at a La Crosse store Saturday evening, La Crosse police said. Security cameras at ShopKo on the South Side caught the couple strolling through the store with a cart — and the woman holding her companion’s exposed penis, according to police reports. . . .

St. Johns County Sheriff's Spokesman Kevin Kelshaw said Eyad Adieh was arrested on three counts of lewd and lascivious behavior and three counts of battery. ============================================ Where is this one from?

Well stated review of the new 'Dukes of Hazzard' movie by the Denver Post:Once upon a time, the Box Office Fairy sewed together a form-fitting pair of denim cutoffs. No one knows if the Box Office Fairy is good or evil; she merely casts her spells and lets the market sort out the details, sordid or sublime. Hollywood mortals discovered the denim shorts and asked Jessica Simpson to try them on. They were wicked pleased with what they saw, and commissioned a script. Two bikinis, a halter top and assorted pairs of 4-inch heels later, we have "The Dukes of...

Tulsa man is in the Tulsa County jail, accused of crimes that have shocked even some law enforcement officials. 43-year-old Terry Wayne Bennett is charged with 3 counts of first degree rape, 11 counts of lewd acts against a child under 16, and 6 counts of cruelty to animals. Tulsa County Sheriff's deputies say Bennett sexually assaulted a 6-year-old child in his care, over a span of several years.

U2 frontman Bono was horrified during a visit to Ethiopia, when he saw local women pelting a breast-feeding aid worker with stones. The American woman was oblivious of the offence she was causing, and had to escape the angry onslaught from female Muslims who had no qualms about injuring her or her baby. Bono recalls: "I remember one vision of the people who are with World Vision, which is an American aid agency. "One of the women was breast-feeding a child on the horse. She was so comfortable. She didn't mean to be insensitive. "But the Muslim women did not...

New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) has long been rumored as desperately seeking the democratic nomination for president in 2008. And while many political observers fully expect the power hungry former First Lady to hit the campaign trail within only a few months of being re-elected as a US Senator in 2006, US News & World report claims to have a confirmation of sorts. From USNews.Com's Washington Whispers: Hillary's in… You don't have to take it from us about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's desire to run for president. Her brothers, Hugh and Tony Rodham, say it's true. Friends...

Recent News! They discover proof that Atlantis did not submerge complete but only one part...By Salvador Morales. Atlantis News Agency. Madrid, Spain. 01-06-2005. The Spanish investigator and scriptologist, Georgeos Diaz-Montexano, has discovered paleographical proofs that in fact the island or peninsula (Nêsos) denominated like Atlantis or Atlantic, it was divided in two parts below the sea. To date all atlantologists and students of the Timaeus and the Critias de Plato had thought that in texts of the Greek philosophist narrated the collapse of the all island or Atlantis peninsula, nevertheless, Georgeos Diaz-Montexano has reviewed the oldest texts known writings in...

FOX News Channel host Bill O'Reilly claimed that former President Bill Clinton's newly opened presidential library gives Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) "access to money because Bill Clinton's got a checkbook that he can write anything off against that library he wants." O'Reilly predicted Bill Clinton would use library staff and funds to further his wife's alleged presidential ambitions. In fact, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), a federal agency, took over the Clinton Presidential Center, including its management and funding, on the day the library opened. NARA administers all ten presidential libraries. On the November 18 edition of...

TFP Student Action Launches Protest Scandalizing students nationwide, 518 colleges and universities intend to allow performances of the lewd "V***** Monologues" play on their campuses, a piece replete with sexual encounters, lust, graphic descriptions of masturbation and lesbian behavior. Perhaps the most disturbing fact is that dozens of prominent Catholic universities have permitted this play on campus year after year during the months of February and March, including Georgetown University, University of Notre Dame, Saint Louis University, Saint Francis University, Fordham University, Loyola Marymount University and others. It is difficult to fathom how any Catholic institution of higher learning would...

Former US president Bill Clinton wins another Grammy nod 2 hours, 9 minutes ago LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton, movie star Steve Martin, actor John Lithgow and comedienne Ellen DeGeneres won places alongside the world's top musicians as Grammy Award nominees. An unlikely nominee, Clinton won his second consecutive nod for music's top awards in the best spoken word album category for the recording of his best-selling autobiography "My Life." Earlier this year, the former leader of the free world won a golden gramophone statuette for lending his voice to the spoken word recording of Russian...

CLINTONS REWRITING HISTORY...AGAIN By Michelle Malkin   ·   November 30, 2004 04:24 PM  City attempts white out during Clinton festivities From the AP: LITTLE ROCK - Seeking to distance itself from a checkered racial past, Little Rock erased "Confederate Blvd." from interstate highway signs just weeks before dignitaries arrived for the opening of Bill Clinton's presidential library. The Confederate Boulevard signs had been the first landmarks many saw after landing at the city's airport. And while the boulevard still runs north from Interstate 440, signs for Exit 1 now tout a southbound stretch of the same road named "Springer Blvd.,"...

Former US President Bill Clinton has said that he would rather live in Ireland than any other country in the world outside of the US. His comments are likely to start renewed speculation that he is to buy a house in Ireland. He made his comments on ABC television during a questionnaire interview with journalist Peter Jennings for a feature on the new Clinton library. There was been ongoing speculation that President Clinton is considering buying a summer house on either side of the Irish border. A rumour two years ago that he was to buy an apartment at the...

It's surprising that four years after President Clinton left office, the Tallahassee Democrat would devote a full, half-page of its precious editorial space to a hate-Clinton column. The paper didn't give the assignment to Bubba Berlow or to Bubba Cotterrell. It gave the assignment to a carpetbagger from the New York Daily News, Michael Goodwin. Goodwin thinks he is being cute, catering to us Tallahassee hayseeds by calling ex-President Clinton "Bubba." The occasion that gives rise to the column is recent dedication of the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library and Museum in Little Rock, our sister capital in the Arkansas,...

The University of Arkansas Press has published the first scholarly assessment of Bill Clinton's presidency, titled "The Clinton Riddle." The compilation of essays by 11 of the nation's top political scientists and historians concludes that Clinton was "a pragmatic and defensive player" who was at his best when under attack. At the same time, it says 100 years from now, people still will be trying to figure out the lessons of the Clinton era. The book promises to be more even-handed than the presidential library and museum in Little Rock, which presents some of the controversies of Clinton's presidency squarely...

It rained on Bill Clinton's parade -- and on a host of gathered Democratic luminaries -- in Little Rock earlier this month. The opening of Clinton's new presidential library, a disconnected bridge to the 21st century, was a largely sodden show. A military man gamely held an umbrella above the former president's already wet head, and the singer Bono's sunglasses were doing double duty as water shields. A day later, a photo preserved the sight of George W. Bush and Bill Clinton jammed together in a doorway, each intending to go first (Clinton won). It brought to mind the shadow-boxing...

The Washington Timeswww.washingtontimes.com The Clintons' win-loss recordPublished November 28, 2004 Two weeks after yet another Democratic debacle at the polls, a crowd estimated at 30,000 celebratory partisans joined Bill and Hillary Clinton in a literal and metaphorical rainstorm to commemorate his two-term presidency at a ceremony dedicating the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock. With Bill reportedly still weak and tired from his recent heart-bypass surgery, Hillary handled many of the non-stop media interviews, including a lengthy prime-time appearance on the Fox News Channel the night before the dedication.     How appropriate. Having been clobbered in the Nov. 2...
