Dad on trial today over homosexual book
District banned him from property after dispute at meetingSeptember 21, 2005 A Massachusetts man is on trial today over a dispute about the teaching of homosexuality in his son's kindergarten class.
In April, David Parker, of Lexington, spent a night in jail and was charged with criminal trespassing after refusing to leave a scheduled meeting with officials at the Estabrook Elementary School unless they gave him the option of pulling his child out of certain classes.
...the District Attorney's office appears reluctant to go forward with a trial, and would probably prefer to have Parker accept a plea-bargain that includes probation. But Parker insists he has done nothing wrong and represents a danger to no one.
A no-trespass order issued against him by the school – which includes all district property...Parker cannot drop off or pick up his children from school; attend his children's sports events or other school activities; meet with his children's teachers at parent-teacher conferences; attend or participate in school committee meetings; or even vote on election day at his local polling place, a public school. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46431
British cleric unveils '100-Minute Bible'
Sep 21 LONDON Business folk are used to reading executive summaries of important documents, and now would-be Christians are to have the same privilege, in the form of a chopped-down Bible that can be read in under two hours...A Church of England vicar was on Wednesday unveiling his self-styled "100-Minute Bible", an ultra-condensed edition of the Christian holy book which claims to neatly summarise every teaching from the Creation to the Revelation...Publishers the 100-Minute Press say the book has been written for those who want to know more about Christianity but who do not have the time to read the original in full...http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20050921/od_afp/britainreligionbibleoffbeat_050921112127
Climate Changes on Mars (must be global warming!)
September 20, 2005 New gullies that did not exist in mid-2002 have appeared on a Martian sand dune…suggest changes to age-estimating models. And for three Mars summers in a row, deposits of frozen carbon dioxide near Mars' south pole have shrunk from the previous year's size, suggesting a climate change in progress...
..."To see new gullies and other changes in Mars surface features on a time span of a few years presents us with a more active, dynamic planet than many suspected before Mars Global Surveyor got there," said Michael Meyer, Mars Exploration Program chief scientist, NASA Headquarters, Washington.
Two gullies appear in an April 2005 image of a sand-dune slope where they did not exist in July 2002. The Mars Orbiter Camera team has found many sites on Mars with fresh-looking gullies, and checked back at more than 100 gullied sites for possible changes between imaging dates, but this is the first such find. Some gullies, on slopes of large sand dunes, might have formed when frozen carbon dioxide, trapped by windblown sand during winter, vaporized rapidly in spring, releasing gas that made the sand flow as a gully-carving fluid. http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mgs/newsroom/20050920a.html
Mr. Consistant
Sept. 20, 2005 Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has told associates he intends to oppose confirmation of John Roberts as chief justice...As party leader, Reid had urged fellow Democrats not to announce their positions until the conclusion of last week's confirmation hearings for Roberts...By stating his own position first, Reid likely would set the stage for strong Democratic opposition...http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/9/20/133611.shtml
Socialist War on God Continues
Sept. 20, 2005 ...A little history as to how this hostility toward God in our schools began begs our review.
In 1932, it was Communist Party USA founder William Z. Foster, in his book "Toward Soviet America," who outlined "the elementary measures the American Soviet government will adopt to further the cultural revolution."
His target: America's schools. His strategy: [S]tudies will be revolutionized, being cleansed of religious, patriotic and other features of the bourgeois ideology. The students will be taught on the basis of Marxian dialectical materialism, internationalism and the general ethics of the new Socialist society. Present obsolete methods of teaching will be superseded by a scientific pedagogy. (1)
There is much to behold in that 1932 statement, and it has all come to pass – religion and patriotism replaced with materialism, internationalism, the ethics of socialism, and the scientific pedagogy…
...Communist Founder Karl Marx bragged that he and his fellow communists would "Abolish the family!" Why? Because the traditional family was the transmission belt of Christian and Capitalist values. The traditional family had to go – and with it, home schools, private schools, and old-styled public schools (where parents were the employers, the curriculum chiefs, the bosses over the neighborhood school). (2)
...The removal of prayer was followed by the removal of God from every textbook and the replacement of the Judeo-Christian viewpoint with the humanistic, ‘progressive' ideology of Karl Marx and John Dewey, a viewpoint that would, step by step, tolerate everything and anything in the classroom, anything and everything but Judeo-Christian values.
...That's where we are today. ‘Christians and Jews shut up! – All you atheists, agnostics, communists, humanists, adulterers, homosexuals, and abortionists – your speech is protected! Your take on religion and morality will be in the textbooks and shouted from the house tops. Criticism of your perspective will be prosecuted as hate speech!'
...Private Christian schools are next. Wrote Foster, "The churches will remain free to continue their services, but their special tax and other privileges will be liquidated. Their buildings will revert to the State. Religious schools will be abolished and organized religious training for minors prohibited." (8)
One thinks of the University of California's rejection of high school credit from schools that study history, literature and science from a Christian perspective (presently before the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles). (9)
One thinks of the N.E.A's opposition to school vouchers because "85 percent of private schools are religious" and because such a groundswell of students turning to religion "would only encourage economic, racial, ethnic, and religious stratification in our society." (10)

Democrats got Steele's credit report
September 21, 2005 Two members of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee have resigned after admitting they obtained Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele's credit report. ...A source familiar with the investigation said the employees were "senior staff" members in the research department of the DSCC. ...Mr. Steele, the first black person elected to statewide office in Maryland, achieved national prominence after his prime-time speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention.

China Names Condom for Bill Clinton
Sept. 20, 2005 The names of former President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, the intern who had sex with the commander in chief, will be attached to a new line of condoms.
A 12-pack of Clintons is expected to cost $5.00, with Lewinskys selling at a discounted price of just over $3.00.
"The Clinton condom will be the top of our line," said Liu Wenhua of the Guangzhou Rubber Group. "The Lewinsky condom is not quite as good."
"The names we chose are symbols of people who are responsible and dedicated to their jobs," Liu said. "I believe Bill Clinton cannot be unhappy about this because he's a very generous man." (Apparently it can truly be said that Bill held nothing back..)
Clinton is the only U.S. president to be honored with his own condom brand line...New York Sen. Hillary Clinton was unavailable to comment on her husband's latest achievement.
