October 6, 2005
Deep in the backwoods of Kentucky a hillbilly's wife went into labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery. Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the father-to-be a lantern and said, "Here. You hold this high so I can see what I am doing!."
Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world. "Whoa there", said the doctor, "Don't be in such a rush to put that lantern down I think there’s another one coming."
Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl. "Hold that lantern up, don't set it down there's another one!” said the doctor.
Within a few minutes he had delivered a third baby. "No, don't be in a hurry to put down that lantern, it seems there’s yet another one coming!" cried the doctor.
The hillbilly scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor, "You reckon it might be the light that's attractin' 'em?"
Study: Kids Start and Spread Flu Epidemics
Oct. 4, 2005 Preschoolers may signal the arrival of flu season. Thirty days after hacking 3- and 4-year-olds start showing up in doctors' offices and emergency rooms, flu-ridden adults seem to follow.
It's a provocative discovery sure to encourage calls to vaccinate more healthy children against influenza - to help keep the misery from spreading.
Moreover, researchers using a system that almost instantly tracks Boston-area health care found that a spike in respiratory illness among youngsters younger than 5 predicts that about five weeks later, influenza-related deaths among the elderly will peak.
The study doesn't prove preschoolers actually drive each winter's flu epidemic, just that they're harbingers for waves of illness.http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/10/4/143128.shtml
Python Explodes After Eating Alligator
Oct 05 MIAMI Alligators have clashed with nonnative pythons before in Everglades National Park. But when a 6-foot gator tangled with a 13-foot python recently, the result wasn't pretty. The snake apparently tried to swallow the gator whole and then exploded. Scientists stumbled upon the gory remains last week.
The species have battled with increasing frequency _ scientists have documented four encounters in the last three years. The encroachment of Burmese pythons into the Everglades could threaten an $8 billion restoration project and endanger smaller species, said Frank Mazzotti, a University of Florida wildlife professor.
The gators have had to share their territory with a python population that has swelled over the past 20 years after owners dropped off pythons they no longer wanted in the Everglades. The Asian snakes have thrived in the wet, hot climate.
...While the gator may have been injured before the battle began _ wounds were found on it that apparently were not caused by python bites _ Mazzotti believes it was alive when the battle began. And it may have clawed at the python's stomach as the snake tried to digest it, leading to the blow up.
..."Clearly, if they can kill an alligator they can kill other species," Mazzotti said. "There had been some hope that alligators can control Burmese pythons. ... This indicates to me it's going to be an even draw. Sometimes alligators are going to win and sometimes the python will win.
...While there are thousands of alligators in the Everglades, Joe Wasilewski, a wildlife biologist and crocodile tracker, said its unknown how many pythons there are.
"We need to set traps and do a proper survey," of the snakes, he said. At least 150 have been captured in the last two years....A reproducing snake can have as many as 100 hatchlings, which explains why the snake population has soared, Wasilewski said. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/10/05/D8D22OHO4.html
Gov't Hurricane Tab May Be Below $150B
The federal government's tab for hurricane relief and rebuilding efforts is likely to cost less than $150 billion, Congress' top budget analyst said Thursday, an amount significantly less than original guesstimates tossed about in the immediate aftermath of the disaster.
Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin told the House Budget Committee that his agency now estimates damage to homes, government buildings, oil refineries and businesses will total between $70 billion and $130 billion. Of that, at least $40 billion is covered by private insurance, he said… Holtz-Eakin said the total costs to taxpayers will come nowhere close to estimates of $300 billion to $400 billion made by some a month ago....

Oil Price Hits Two-Month Low
Oct. 6, 2005 NEW YORK -- The price of oil fell to its lowest level in two months on Wednesday as evidence builds that the high cost of gasoline and other fuels is sapping demand.
New data from the Energy Department show that fuel consumption over the past month declined by almost 3 percent compared with last year. Analysts attributed the trend to soaring pump prices and a slowdown in economic activity, particularly among Gulf Coast states that were affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita... http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/10/5/230112.shtml
OU bomber tried to buy ammonium nitrate
University student attended same mosque as 9-11's Moussaoui
October 6, 2005 The student who blew himself up outside a packed Oklahoma University football stadium Saturday night tried to buy large quantities of ammonium nitrate – a key ingredient in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing – the week before, according to a new report.
Also, Joel "Joe" Henry Hinrichs III attended a Norman, Okla., mosque near his university-owned apartment – the same one attended by Zacharias Moussaoui, the only person charged in connection with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to a report by KWTV-News 9 in Oklahoma City.
...Four days before Hinrichs was killed, the report said, he attempted to buy an undetermined amount of ammonium nitrate at a Norman feed store. Federal courts convicted Army buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols of the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, in which ammonium nitrate was used as an explosive.
Prior knowledge? ...One investigator familiar with the case who spoke to WorldNetDaily on condition of anonymity suggested authorities may have known some sort of attack was coming, because witnesses reported tighter-than-usual security for the OU football game against Kansas State, which was under way at the time Hinrichs was killed...For instance, the investigator said, witnesses reported that security guards were patting down and searching many of the more than 84,000 spectators who attended the game before allowing them inside the stadium – not a normal occurrence..."Prior to the game, the entire stadium was swept by the expert bomb teams with the help of dogs," the statement said.
..."The only change, beginning at the next home football game," Bishop said, "is that there will be no pass-outs through the remainder of the season." So-called "pass-out checks" are issued to spectators who want to leave the stadium and re-enter, usually at halftime. In his statement, Boren said halftime pass-outs were suspended the day of the Hinrichs incident...But a spokesman for the Norman Police Department told WND the stadium is swept for explosives two hours before every home game – a policy that was adopted in 2001. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46681
'Hanoi' Jane Fonda Bankrolling Hillary
Oct. 5, 2005 'Hanoi' Jane Fonda, whose anti-U.S. activities during the Vietnam war remain an anathema to most Americans, is helping to bankroll New York Sen. Hillary Clinton's reelection campaign... Earlier this year Fonda told Time magazine that she "hopes for a Hillary Clinton presidency." The politically radioactive actress had also been a sleepover guest at the Clinton White House.
Mrs. Clinton has been struggling to reshape her image as pro-defense, with multiple visits to the troops in Iraq and boasts on her web site that she saved New York military bases from closure... news of Fonda's support could complicate matters...Links to Fonda proved toxic for Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign last year, when NewsMax published an authentic photo showing him standing near the left-wing actress at a 1970 anti-war demonstration in Pennsylvania. [A subsequent photo circulated on the Internet showing Fonda standing side-by-side with Kerry at a 1971 protest was doctored.]...Sen. Kerry insisted that he barely new his fellow protester, though both he and Fonda shared top posts in the group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War...http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/10/5/102624.shtml
The ACLU's latest mischief in its war on American values
October 6, 2005 According to their own literature, the American Civil Liberties Union's job "is to conserve America's original civic values – the Constitution and the Bill of Rights." Preserving our values is a very admirable goal. But in spite of their lofty rhetoric, the ACLU is not such a protector of America's values.
...Just in the past few weeks, the ACLU has again proven their contempt for American values in several arenas... In September, the ACLU filed a friend-of-the-court brief urging the Supreme Court to allow a ban on military recruiters at university campuses... The current case involves the Solomon Amendment, a 1994 statute that allows the blocking of federal funds to campuses that deny military recruiters "equal access."
...In another startling case, the ACLU – as it does more often than not – is opposing the democratic process and traditional values in Florida… the ACLU opposes this constitutionally valid effort to keep marriage from being tampered with by politicians, activist judges, and other groups – well, like the ACLU...
...When the ACLU is not attacking the military or marriage, they are working on manipulating our children's values and behavior. Last month, they launched "Not in My State," a nationwide effort to eliminate what they call "dangerous" abstinence-only education in schools.
The same ACLU that adamantly opposes any government regulation of the most dreadful and violent forms of obscenity, opposes laws designed to protect children from exposure to such obscenity, and argues there is "no harm" from such material, has launched an elaborate website for their new project, offering a pre-written op-ed for your local newspaper, detailed talking points, and an area of "cool stuff" including buttons, postcards, and bumper stickers...
...The ACLU's world is one in which abstinence is "dangerous," marriage is meaningless, and officials with publicly supported schools have a right to demand and take federal funds on one hand while telling the people who pay the taxes that fund their schools to take a hike. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46689
Other jury declined to indict DeLay
Texas prosecutor described as angry
October 6, 2005 A Texas prosecutor tried to convince a grand jury that Representative Tom DeLay gave tacit approval to a series of laundered campaign contributions, and when jurors declined to indict, he became angry, according to two people directly familiar with the proceeding.
...The two people interviewed, who commented anonymously because of grand jury secrecy, said Travis County prosecutor Ronnie Earle became visibly angry when the grand jurors last week signed a document declining to indict, known as a ''no bill."
One person said the sole evidence Earle presented was a DeLay interview with the prosecutor, in which DeLay said he was generally aware of activities of his associates. He is charged in an alleged money- laundering scheme to funnel corporate donations to Texas legislative candidates in violation of state law...The person said that Earle tried to convince the jurors that if DeLay ''didn't say 'Stop it,' he gave his tacit approval."
After the grand jurors declined to go forward, the mood ''was unpleasant," the other person said, describing Earle's reaction...After the second grand jury declined to indict, a third grand jury brought money laundering charges against DeLay on Monday.
Dick DeGuerin, attorney for DeLay, sought to have the original conspiracy charge dismissed Monday by arguing in a court filing that contended the indictment was based on a law that the Legislature changed in 2003. The original indictment alleges that the illegal acts date to 2002... Earle said late Tuesday that he sought the second indictment of DeLay on Monday because he became aware of additional evidence. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2005/10/06/other_jury_declined_to_indict_delay?mode=PF
FOREMAN OF DELAY GRAND JURY MADE MIND UP BEFORE TESTIMONY
The foreman of the Travis County Grand Jury that indicted Congressman Tom Delay says he felt there was illegal activity surrounding DeLay, the PAC Texans for a Republican Majority and the Texas Association of Business long before he was tapped to serve on the Grand Jury. William Gibson told the Newsradio 590 KLBJ morning show he himself had questions about the ads concerning the Texas Legislature races in 2002

Austin, Texas, affiliate, Travis County, Texas, KLBJ, 590 AM, the host, Mark Caesar interviewed William Gibson who was the jury foreman on the first DeLay indictment case... as the interview is winding down Gibson decides say something else says to Caesar
GIBSON: Wait, wait. Those ads, the Texas Association of Business, remember those ads? I just looked at that before I was ever on the Grand Jury. They were telling people how to vote, this is before I ever got on the Grand Jury. Being a citizen of this town, I looked at those things and felt that, "Hey those are telling people how to vote."
CAESAR: Now, which ads are these, Mr. Gibson?
GIBSON: These are the ones in the paper from the TAB that were put in your local paper.
CAESAR: All right. GIBSON: Telling people how to vote, (unintelligble), but the so-called freedom of speech, they were putting something in the paper for people to look at and let them make their decision.
CAESAR: Okay.
GIBSON: But looking at those ads, people with average intelligence could tell what they were there for.
CAESAR: All right. Texas Association of Business ads.
GIBSON: And all this came out way before I was ever on the grand jury, these mailers were in your paper, in the Austin papers, everybody else's paper. They were flooding the market around here. That those were way before I ever went on the grand jury, my decision was based upon those, not based upon what might have happened in the grand jury room.
CAESAR: Oh, okay. So your mind was made up after you learned about the ads.
GIBSON: Right, those ads way back, telling people how, their so called freedom of speech deal. I looked at it as they're just telling people, "Go vote for that person, go vote for that person."
CAESAR: So they didn't have the persuade you in the grand jury with any evidence, you already –
GIBSON: That was already public knowledge there. That way back (unintelligible) that is what I based my information on. They stated their positions, and I could state my position by saying, "Hey, I don't like that."
