Last week we were notified of an IAC event right here in town, featuring Ramsey Clark and the usual suspects. This is a group I had never heard of before last year; but, after catching their post 9/11 act on C-Span (that rather large anti-war, bash-America and "Free Mumia" fest in DC), and countering their much-smaller Oct 7 rally in Union square, I definitely feel like I know them.

Thread 2 They're going to march now! Time to see the opposition!

The circus continues. Thread 1

I belong to a Republican email list that has undergone a spam assault from overseas since this weekend. Several people were bounced from the list as a result, and now they've switched tactics: resubscribing under "American" names, just to dump their propaganda all over people who COULDN'T care less for their opinions.

The author's name I left in.) ------------------------------------- Dear _______, I'm agree with your thought. I'm ...

SEPTEMBER 08TH, 2001 With just three days until Primary Day, team Bloomberg isn't laughing about a 32-page collection of offensive musings allegedly made 10 years ago by the Republican mayoral candidate. New York Magazine writer Michael Wolf uncovered the booklet, called "Portable Bloomberg-- the wit and wisdom of Michael Bloomberg," which was compiled by an employee for the media mogul's birthday 10 years ago. The "Portable Bloomberg" quotes Bloomberg making fun of everything from Jews to marriage to the borough of Queens. The alleged politically incorrect musings include: "Whenever my wife catches me eyeing some broad, she's very careful ...

<p>September 5, 2001 -- Lizzie Grubman's dad is using a "blame the victim" defense - saying one of the people run over by his daughter was responsible for his own injuries.</p> <p>Allen Grubman - a lawyer and the leasee of the Mercedes SUV that the publicity princess backed into 16 people - charges in court papers that victim Adam Wacht's injuries "were caused in whole or in part by" Wacht's negligence or "culpable conduct."</p>

PLUCKY NEW YORKERS DIG OUT AND DUST OFF The Bright Side of the Bomb By Sydney Perth Despite a 2-megaton surprise that snarled traffic and turned the Big Apple into the Baked Apple yesterday, plucky New Yorkers--with the same grit and good humor they showed in blackouts, blizzards, transit strikes and the closing of Schrafft's--started to bounce back scant seconds afdter the shock wave rolled by. All over town, hands could be seen triumphantly popping out of holes in the smoldering rubble as their feisty New Yorker owners clawed toward daylight. "Some mess, huh?" quipped deli counterman Pete Sanchez, 46, ...

Secrecy In Giordano Case: Why? By LYNNE TUOHY The Hartford Courant August 09, 2001 The evidence underlying the charges against three-term Waterbury Mayor Philip A. Giordano is being kept secret to protect his right to a fair trial. The mayor is being kept behind bars indefinitely to protect the community. The judge's order explaining this is secret. The name and location of the prison where Giordano now resides is being kept secret, presumably for his protection. (Alleged pedophiles often are dealt with harshly by their fellow inmates.) The name of an alleged accessory to Giordano's crime - the mother of ...
