WASHINGTON -- Democrats need to reach out to voters who oppose abortion rights and promote candidates who share that view, the head of the party said Friday.

The arrogantly named "Rods from God" weapons from space weapons of mass destruction "WMD" program (see the second article below) is well underway and has received a substantial boost from the successful trial attack on comet Tempel-1. Capping a series of other recent planetary death weapons tests such as the failed space mirror test conducted by the Planetary Society, the NASA probe "Deep Impact" provided military observers with significant data and analysis concerning the proper design for kinetic energy weapons configured to slam into an Earth ground target, releasing an explosion similar to an atomic weapon but without the radiation....

WASHINGTON, DC --- Howard Dean alerted Democratic Party leaders that it is time to start talking about the moral values behind their liberal beliefs. "The truth is we're Democrats because of our moral values," said Dean. "We need to focus on the morality behind having sex outside of marriage in the White House, killing unborn children without government interference, creating life in order to destroy it for medical purposes, euthanizing the old and the infirm so they are not a burden to us, teaching oral sex and the values of homosexuality to our elementary school children, creating a welfare state...

END OF THE ROAD FOR DEAN? - OH I HOPE NOT Howard Dean has been polarizing and controversial since his failed bid for the Democrat nomination. Now as DNC chair, his histrionics and poor leadership are causing prominent politicians and supporters to either distance themselves from Dean through statement or deed. Recently, John Edwards said that Dean "is not the spokesman for the party." Joe Biden chimed in with, Dean "doesn't speak for me with that kind of rhetoric and I don't think he speaks for the majority of Democrats,"... Now New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has joined the chorus...

Official T-Shirts are now available! If you are coming from the New York Times article: Please note that the article is somewhat misleading about the many devices that residents of East Campus have built. Amal Dorai did not build any of them. Most of the devices such as the pizza button, robot, and motorized couch were built by Adam Kraft and David Nelson. The disco dance floor is really awesome and was built by Grant Elliott and Scott Torborg. It has a webpage here. A note to the News Media: We are approaching finals week and we are busy full-time...

What happened? Hello? Hello? Anybody home? "MESSAGE TO DISABLED FLORIDIANS" December 1998, Florida By Governor-elect Jeb Bush "Talking with a variety of Floridians with disabilities and their families has helped understand a lot more about the lives, challenges and dreams of those with disabilities. However, I know that my education continues with everyone new I meet. People with disabilities are no different than anyone else. They want to work, have families, and live independently. As Governor, I would work hard to create an environment that gives people with disabilities every opportunity to be independent and play an active role in...

By the time you read this, Terri Schiavo may well be dead, and America will have taken the next step down the road to democide. While the brothers Bush may not have found it within their executive powers to prevent a woman from being legally starved to death, they did manage to con an entire nation into thinking that they did not act because they could not. This is most unfortunate, because it is quite clear that neither George Bush nor his brother Jeb ever had any intention of saving Mrs. Schiavo from death by starvation. Like Pontius Pilate, they...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a leading critic of the Bush administration's environmental policies, is expected to tell Sacramento legislators today how federal changes in policies and laws could harm California.

A Glimpse Ahead Timothy Snodgrass The Impossible Will Come Alive In 2005 01/28/05 In January of 2004, as we began to intercede for the New Year the Holy Spirit gave us the prophetic slogan, "The Seas will Roar in 2004". This year we were given a new slogan, "The Impossible will come Alive in 2005". As the veil of darkness begins to come down over nations and regions, along with great shakings will come great breakthroughs; signs, wonders, healings and a spectacular release of miracles in impossible circumstances. This year, although we are ultimately poised to gain much ground, there...

What's the deal with all the dead scientists?

At one point, a demonstrator made a snowball about the size of an orange and tossed it behind him into a crowd of police and Bush supporters. Within seconds, two large men jumped him, pushed him down to the ground and punched him in the face repeatedly. A crowd quickly gathered, and women screamed for the beating to stop. Blood was visible on the young man's face and on the pavement. He was then led away by police.

ARLINGTON -- On a spring day, Susan Lawrence was flipping through a magazine, Home School Digest, when she came across an advertisement that took her breath away. In it, ''The Rod," a $5 flexible whipping stick, was described as the ''ideal tool for child training." ''Spoons are for cooking, belts are for holding up pants, hands are for loving, and rods are for chastening," read the advertisement she saw nearly two years ago for the 22-inch nylon rod. It also cited a biblical passage, which instructs parents not to spare the ''rod of correction." The ad shocked Lawrence, a Lutheran...

RBC: Jan 3: Chapman grabbed by Police and Shrinks A few blocks from the IRS Office and a few minutes before the demand time, Gene?s pickup-camper was stopped by a dozen police and he was placed in an ambulance. More details later. I went by city-county jail at noon and he was not there. Apparently he was in the ER waiting shipment to mental hospital and mental examination. He should be back out in 1 to 3 months. Probably, the police had a commitment order from the Judge. Many Patriots showed up to see The American Gandhi mess up the...

I believe National Treasure implies that Freemasons are a POSITVE influence on our country. Anybody that knows the TRUTH about Freemasonry rather than the propaganda they wrap themselves in will NOT be takin in by the positive portrayal in this movie. Please America, wake up, don't buy into the guys who brought "Seperation of Church/State" to America, model ISLAM as the highest truth (the Shriners), label the Holy Bible as "Furinture" in a lodge, and outlaw the name of "Jesus" in any lodge. I know I will get flamed by 10,000 Masons and Mason supporters on this, but if you...

In an unsolicited e-mail to Countdown, Warren Mitofsky wrote that he was “struck by the misinformation” in our program. He heads Mitofsky International, which along with Edison Media Research, conducted the election night exit polling for the television networks and the Associated Press. I referred to the variance among the early and late exit polls, and the voting. Insisting “there were no early exit polls” released by his company or Edison, Mr. Mitofsky wrote “the early release came from unauthorized leaks to bloggers who posted misinformation.”Mitofsky compared those leaks to “the score at half time at a football game” and...
