Iran “Joins the Nuclear Club” – Badinage of Birds Ensues Just a few days ago, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pranced about triumphantly before the cameras,brandishing a small cylinder ,and declaring his nation was now a nuclear power. President Ahmadinejad disclosed that,by using 164 centrifuges,Iranian scientists in the Natanz facility had succeeded in producing a tiny quantity of enriched Uranium – one of the materials from which nuclear bombs can be made. This declaration produced the sort of effect one might get by tossing a firecracker into a large flock of birds : arguably the exact effect Ahmadinejad was seeking. The...

WASHINGTON - Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald huddled with his legal team Thursday as two key White House aides awaited their fate in the CIA leak probe. A spokesman for the prosecutor said there would be no public announcements Thursday. The term of the grand jury that could bring indictments expires Friday. The White House braced for the possibility that Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, could become a criminal defendant by week's end. Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, remained in jeopardy of being charged with false statements. Libby and Rove arrived for work at...

Washington, DC – Traditional Values Coalition Executive Director Andrea Lafferty complained today that an article in the Washington Post about the clothes worn by Supreme Court nominee John Roberts’ children was “unfair and disappointing.” Mrs. Lafferty said in a letter sent to Post Editor Leonard Downie, Jr. that the Post has now set a new pecking order for “unfair journalism which ignores substance and slides right into chortling about form.” “If you can’t come up with something disgusting about the actual nominee or his wife then rough-up the kids some and see what happens,” Mrs. Lafferty said today. Post fashion...

I am offering this because I think it is a wonderful suggestion considering the problems we face in the world today. This idea evidently originated in England recently. I received it from a friend of mine in Canada. I hope this can remain in the sidebar list for a while until many have had the chance to see it and, hopefully, put it into practice. We don't often stop to think how hard it is for emergency workers to find a way to contact people on behalf of injured persons when treating them for emergencies. Almost everyone carries a cell...

The U.S. Senate will confirm John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations when it returns from a weeklong recess and Democratic requests for more information are "just an excuse" to further delay, Vice President Dick Cheney said on Monday. Reuters Photo: The U.S. Senate will confirm John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live," Cheney said he was confident Senate Republican leaders would gather the votes to end debate on the contested nomination. Republican efforts to do so last week ended four votes shy of the 60 needed. Two...

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Iran has announced plans to turn tons of uranium into a substance that can be used to make nuclear weapons, the U.N. atomic watchdog agency said Wednesday in a report stoking concern about Tehran's nuclear agenda. The confidential report of the International Atomic Energy Agency said the agency had been informed that the Islamic Republic planned to process more than 40 tons of raw uranium into uranium hexafluoride. Uranium hexafluoride is spun in centrifuges to produce enriched uranium, which in turn can be used to generate power or make nuclear warheads, depending on the degree of...

Today is an exciting one for me, so I just thought I'd toot my own horn for a minute and let everyone know today is my second birthday. Two years ago this morning I woke up with limbs a'twitchin' and within five hours was informed I had a brain tumor. *shudder* The event pretty much set my life clock back to zero, which is why I refer to the day as my “second” birthday. At the time, I never thought I'd live two years but here I am still living, breathing and enjoying life. Isn't it great to be...

No comments from prosecutors until then..

Democratic National Committee Chair Terr Maculiffe says, 'Flordia is absolutely key, and so having Bob Graham in the mix is very important for us.If he doesn't win the nomination, Bob is clearly on the top tier to be on the ticket as Vice President.'Top Democratic officials say people close to Graham, including family members, say he will not run for senator again no matter what happens in the 2004 White House race.A Democrat: He's done, there will be no fourth term. I have it on good authority.

German tram passengers are having their stops announced by the voice of Gerhard Schroder. The new announcements are only used on the 107 tram line in the city of Essen. The taped voice was provided by impressionist Elmar Brandt who has risen to fame by singing songs and giving radio interviews using the German politician's voice. Brandt has combined the name of the stops with funny comments, like telling people who get off at the hospital to "tell them the chancellor says get well soon". At the end of the line, he shouts out: "Women and chancellors first!" While the...
