  • It was a hot and humid night
    9 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Haim Handwerker
    On a hot and humid Manhattan summer night, some 70 businessmen were on the balcony of developer Ofer Yardeni’s large penthouse in the Ritz Plaza building for a most unusual encounter.
    The guest was Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto of Ashdod. Yardeni invited prominent Jewish American businessmen active in real estate, most not religious, to hear a Torah lesson and receive a blessing from the rabbi. The event, which started at 7:30 P.M. - the rabbi himself only came at 9 - ended at (…)

    By Walter F. Roche Jr.
    WASHINGTON — A US grand jury in Guam opened an investigation of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff more than two years ago, but President Bush removed the supervising federal prosecutor, and the probe ended soon after.
    The previously undisclosed Guam inquiry is separate from a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia that is investigating allegations that Abramoff bilked Indian tribes out of millions of (…)

    Cindy Sheehan paces on a road Sunday near President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Tex. She vows to wait until he talks to her or leaves the ranch.
    By RICHARD W. STEVENSON
    CRAWFORD, Tex - President Bush draws antiwar protesters just about wherever he goes, but few generate the kind of attention that Cindy Sheehan has since she drove down the winding road toward his ranch here this weekend and sought to tell him face to face that he must pull all Americans troops out of Iraq now.

  • Bush pushes very hot button President’s comments embolden anti-evolutionists
    9 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Joe Garofoli
    The real impact of President Bush weighing in on the national debate over how to teach the origins of life may be felt in the classroom, where much of the anti-evolutionary lobbying is done under the radar.
    One tactic is for a student or parent to present the teacher with a list that’s popular in conservative circles called, "Ten questions to ask your biology teacher."
    The result, observers say, is that some teachers fear even mentioning "the e-word."
    "That’s what (…)

    Cindy Sheehan phoned me from Texas a few minutes ago to say that she’s been informed that beginning Thursday, she and her companions will be considered a threat to national security and will be arrested. Coincidentally, Thursday is the day that Rice and Rumsfeld visit the ranch, and Friday is a fundraiser event for the haves and the have mores. Cindy said that she and others plan to be arrested.

  • Bizarro Iraq : a war of "liberation" brings only slavery - and death
    9 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Justin Raimondo
    Cindy Sheehan is on a mission. The death of her son in combat in Iraq has sent her on her own personal odyssey, a quest for the answer to the question: Why? The latest stop in that journey: Crawford, Texas, right outside the presidential ranch, where she and a few intrepid antiwar protesters marched in the triple-digit heat, determined to confront the author of this war. Bush didn’t come out to meet her, but, surprisingly, she was met by two of his top aides - national (…)

    The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed. - Stephen King
    George W. Bush hauled stakes for Texas and a vacation a few days ago. Cindy Sheehan followed. She got off a bus Saturday afternoon and started walking to the Crawford ranch. She wanted some answers and was going to get them.
    Sheehan had met Mr. Bush once before. On April 4, 2004, just shy of a year after Bush stood on an aircraft carrier beneath a banner that read "Mission (…)

    by Dr. James Howenstine
