NEW YORK -- A small plane with New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle aboard crashed into a 50-story condominium tower Wednesday on Manhattan's Upper East Side, killing at least four people and raining flaming debris on sidewalks, authorities said. Federal Aviation Administration records showed the single-engine plane was registered to Lidle, and FBI reports show that Lidle's passport was found at the scene. The FBI believed Lidle was the only person aboard the plane and the other three deaths occurred inside the building. The twin-engine plane came through a hazy, cloudy sky and hit the 20th floor of The Belaire -- a red-brick tower overlooking the East River, about five miles from the ...

Rumsfeld Friend Named L.A. Times Publisher Liberals in Hollywood aren’t jumping for joy after learning more about the new publisher of their local newspaper, the Los Angeles Times. David Hiller, who was named publisher by the Times’ parent Tribune Co. on Oct. 5, was a friend of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and an advocate of "concentration camps” for illegal immigrants. The Times’ profile of its new publisher mentioned only his "two years at the Reagan Justice Department (where his colleagues included current Chief Justice John G. Roberts and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani)” without detailing his work there. But an investigation by LA ...

Reid: Investigate Bush Over North Korea Nukes By Nathan Burchfiel http://CNSNews.com Staff Writer October 09, 2006 http://(CNSNews.com) - Reacting to the announcement that North Korea successfully conducted a nuclear test, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) called Monday for an investigation of the Bush administration's "failed North Korea policies." In a release, Reid said that "on the Bush Administration's watch, North Korea's arsenal has grown to as many as a dozen bombs," because he said Bush is "distracted by Iraq and paralyzed by internal divisions." Calling the test "reckless and counterproductive," Reid called on Bush to "rally ...

A True Blowout is Now Possible By Stuart Rothenberg After looking at the news for the past 10 days or so, I have to wonder how Democrats can possibly fail in their efforts to take both the House and the Senate. The national atmospherics don’t merely favor Democrats; they set the stage for a blowout of cosmic proportions next month. No, that’s not a prediction, since Republicans still have a month to “localize” enough races to hold onto one or both chambers of Congress. But you don’t have to be Teddy White or V.O. Key to know that the GOP is now flirting with disaster. Let’s forget all of the niceties and diplomatic language and cut to the obvious truth: ...
Ex-Page Tells of Foley Liaison

A former House page says he had sex with then-Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) after receiving explicit e-mails in which the congressman described assessing the sexual orientation and physical attributes of underage pages but waiting until later to make direct advances. The former page, who agreed to discuss his relationship with Foley with the Los Angeles Times on the condition that he not be identified, said his electronic correspondence with Foley began after he finished the respected Capitol Hill page program for high school juniors. His sexual encounter was in the fall of 2000, he said. At the time, he was 21 and a graduate of a rural Northeastern college. ADVERTISEMENT "I always knew ...

the clinton failure to confront terrorism - THE BUSH FAILURE TO CONFRONT IRAN AND NORTH KOREA

WHO BENEFITS? The clintons had been hemorrhaging ever since the first week in September when the husband, by attempting to quash the ABC movie, "The Path to 9/11," managed to accomplish in mere days what his opponents failed for years to effectuate, namely, to focus the electorate simultaneously on the clinton jackboot 3, 4 and on the clinton failure to confront terrorism. 5 If the story had legs, continued clinton stupidity and arrogance made them sprint. And as if dispatching the tired clinton scold, the tired clinton spinners and the tired clinton playbook weren't enough to keep story on page one of The New York Times above the fold, clinton brought his tired clinton shtick ...
don't be fooled by GEORGE BUSH AND THE FENCE - No sooner did Congress authorize construction of a 700-mile fence on the US-Mexico border last week than lawmakers rushed to approve separate legislation that ensures it will never be built [DON'T VOTE]

But shortly before recessing late Friday, the House and Senate gave the Bush administration leeway to distribute the money to a combination of projects -- not just the physical barrier along the southern border. The funds may also be spent on roads, technology and "tactical infrastructure" to support the Department of Homeland Security's preferred option of a "virtual fence." What's more, in a late-night concession to win over wavering Republicans, GOP congressional leaders pledged in writing that Native American tribes, members of Congress, governors and local leaders would get a say in "the exact placement" of any structure, and that Homeland Security ...

Activist ready to out 'gay' GOP senator Held info on Foley, has vowed to shake up November election Activist Mike Rogers A radical homosexual activist who claims some of the credit for revealing former Rep. Mark Foley's relationships with underage male pages has warned there is more to come, stating on his website earlier this year he would "out" a "gay" Republican senator during the run-up to the mid-term elections. "Ladies and Gentlemen ... if they want a cultural war, I'll give them a f------ cultural war. Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumpy 2006," wrote Mike Rogers on his weblog in January – a posting noted by the blog Sweetness & ...

Woo hoo!! Over $10,000!! Thank you FReepers and Lurkers!! Perhaps the Democrats are having a change of heart? Jim Robinson Posted on 10/04/2006 6:53:06 PM EDT by Jim Robinson Sounds like the Democrats want to get serious about protecting youngsters from homosexual predators. Hoorah! It's a little late but could be a good. idea! Maybe we should start by removing homosexuals from all positions where they would have access to young people. Removing them from congress would be a good start, but we need to follow through by removing them from organizations such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, military, churches, universities and schools. And from our state governments. For example, I ...

Who knew Mark Foley was a closeted Democrat? At least liberals are finally exhibiting a moral compass about something. I am sure that they'd be equally outraged if Rep. Mark Foley were a Democrat. The object lesson of Foley's inappropriate e-mails to male pages is that when a Republican congressman is caught in a sex scandal, he immediately resigns and crawls off into a hole in abject embarrassment. Democrats get snippy. Foley didn't claim he was the victim of a "witch hunt." He didn't whine that he was a put-upon "gay American." He didn't stay in Congress and haughtily rebuke his critics. He didn't run for re-election. He certainly didn't claim he was "saving ...

COMMENT: Taking Kristol's cue, notice how the newspaper that originally published this article takes aim at Alex Jones and refers to him as a liberal. Kristol, the Neo-Cons (who themselves are the descendents of hard-core Trotskyite totalitarian socialism) and the controlled corporate media (or in this case the corporate-controlled university systems) are absolutely desperate to keep everyone neatly confined to the Left/Right paradigm. This is a powerful tool in their arsenal to oppress and control the U.S. population by mindlessly simplifying critical issues into two meaningless choices. They limit the debate and force people to pick sides and fight against one another instead of fighting ...

A federal judge in Kentucky has ruled that a Kentucky law barring protests within 300 feet of military funerals and memorial services is too broad and may not be enforced. The temporary injunction comes in a case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky. The ACLU argued that the Kentucky law went too far in restricting freedom of speech when it barred protesters from saying hateful things to mourners at military funerals. A Topeka, Kansas, group calling itself the Westboro Baptist Church has been traveling to military funerals around the country, telling mourners that "God hates fags" and that "God has irreversibly cursed America" for its tolerance of ...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Only once in this nation's history has the son of a president been elected commander-in-chief. George W. Bush stands on the brink of making history again. Like any political legacy, he faces questions about whether he could have made it this far without his famous last name and he must bear the weight of expectations. "It is very possible that if he wins the election, it will be the greatest political family in American history," says Doug Wead, a former adviser to President George Bush. "If his last name were not Bush, this guy wouldn't be running for mayor of a mediocre city," says populist political commentator Jim Hightower. "He was ...

President George W. Bush has sent Victor Ashe, the US Ambassador to Poland and a "special" friend since their cheerleader and cohabitation days at Yale University, "candy and flowers" via US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage. In another matter, Armitage surprised observers in Warsaw by an apparent criticism of his boss, the president. (Warsaw, Sept. 17, 2004) "He has proved beyond the shadow of doubt that he is inhuman," Armitage, who is on a visit to Poland, told a press conference here. "Anyone who would use (the killing of) innocents for political aims is not worthy of existence in the type of society that we endorse," he added. (Xinhua ...

Campaign 2006: The Republicans' Secret Weapon You think the GOP is sure to lose big in November? They aren't. Here's why things don't look so bad to them The polls keep suggesting that Republicans could be in for a historic drubbing. And their usual advantage—competence on national security—is constantly being challenged by new revelations about bungling in Iraq. But top Republican officials maintain an eerie, Zen-like calm. They insist that the prospects for their congressional candidates in November's midterms have never been as bad as advertised and are getting better by the day. Those are party operatives and political savants whose job it is to anticipate trouble. But much ...
