HONOLULU - A postal worker discovered a 15-pound opossum moving around inside a trash bin at Honolulu International Airport, the second such animal found at the airport in the past three months, state agriculture officials said. "We're not sure how it got in the trash bin," said Janelle Saneishi, spokeswoman for the state Department of Agriculture. "It is in an offloading area for surface mail. It's possible it came in on a container and somehow found its way to the trash bin." A marsupial native to the mainland, opossums are distinctive for their long, rat-like, prehensile tails which allows them...

Last week, you probably heard all about Newsweek’s inadvertent little faux pas regarding Gitmo, the Noble Qur’an, and a popular porcelain fixture. The story wasn’t true, although the lib/dem/soc/commie media are playing the “let’s pretend it really is true anyway” game. Oddly enough, they didn’t learn their lesson from the last time they tried that (see also: CBS, 60 Minutes, document forgery, etc.) so they trotted it out for another go. Folks are lamenting the 15 to 18 people who apparently died in the ensuing riots. Nobody knows the names of these people so far, or exactly where and how...

Sensational murder defendants such as Cullen Davis, Diane Zamora and Robert Neville have stood trial in Fort Worth, greeted by a crush of TV cameras and curious courtroom spectators. Legal observers expect the glare of national media – and the challenges that come with it – to return this week as the "windshield case" begins in...

Flicking through the channels a few minutes ago, CNN said that a study was done, and the study finds that CNN has the most believable news than any other major news organization. What a load of BS! Also, they said they have the same viewers, or maybe a slight decline than last year. CNN is evidently not keeping up with current events. (AKA Fox News, Rush, Ann Coulter, etc.) Before anyone says anything, NO! I do not watch CNN news. I guess they think if they tell everyone this, one or two people may start believing it. Thought ya'll would...

How Green is the boardroom? Still not very. But that could be changing soon From a look at the green-toned ads put out by companies such as Ford and the Southern Company, you would think that those in the executive suite spend their days meditating on the wisdom of John Muir and Henry David Thoreau. On the other hand, a look at the day planners of their Washington lobbyists suggests that as soon as these same executives step out of the public eye, they set loose their minions to undo every piece of environmental legislation past, present or future. Ford...

Repent, sinners. Your Macintosh is a tool to promote Godless Communism and anti-Creationist "propaganda", according to an article at OBJECTIVE: Christian Ministries. Dr. Richard Paley, apparently "a teacher of Divinity and Theobiology at Fellowship University," starts out with discussions of the PBS series Evolution and Pokemon, and goes on to say: However, these propagandists aren't just targeting the young. Take for example Apple Computers, makers of the popular Macintosh line of computers. The real operating system hiding under the newest version of the Macintosh operating system (MacOS X) is called... Darwin! That's right, new Macs are based on Darwinism! While...

Check out this piece from 1989...the players are the same, with way more power, now... >>>It is important to think of Rollnet as an international institution separate from, though interlinked with, the government of the United States. Rollnet cadres, such as those central to Contragate, circulated in and out of the official U.S. government. Those cadres-most prominently Oliver North-who had gained influential U.S. governmental positions were in effect using these positions to further their Rollnet cause; the Constitution and laws of the United States were secondary considerations. They equated the goals of the United States with the goals of Rollnet.<<<

The 90-page study demonstrates through the writings of pro-gun experts the ineffectiveness and dangers of handguns as alleged self-defense tools.

No Hard Times For Adult Film Biz Terrorist attacks, war in Afghanistan and a faltering economy are not having an effect on one of the San Fernando Valley's most robust industries: adult videos. Some of the area's top manufacturers of explicit films and DVDs said this week that their orders are up by as much as 20 percent since September 11, while smaller companies and video stores said business has remained steady. "Our industry is, for the most part, recession-proof," said Jim Monroe, vice president of Van Nuys-based Vivid Video, one of the world's largest producers of explicit adult entertainment. ...

A worker at a Far-Eastside coin-operated laundry peered inside a trash bin Saturday, hoping to spot a few empty pop cans. Instead, the woman found the body of a newborn boy. The infant had been wrapped in a sheet and several plastic shopping bags before being placed in a trash bag and then abandoned in the receptacle behind Laundry & Tanning Connection, 2128 N. Mitthoefer Road. The umbilical cord was still attached to the infant's navel, indicating the child may have been born as a result of an unwanted pregnancy. Marion County sheriff's homicide detectives have yet to determine ...
