"Janet Reno refused last night to concede in Florida's Democratic gubernatorial primary, despite trailing Tampa lawyer Bill McBride by 11,000 votes with 99 percent of the state's precincts reporting."

"Miss Reno instead huddled with a legal team, while her campaign spoke of potential legal action. Last night, the Reno campaign said it has found discrepancies in Tuesday's election."
 

"In the Suburbs, What to Do About a Deer"

"It was a Friday evening, and Cynthia Fain was off to do an errand. As she came out of her apartment complex in Gaithersburg, 'I saw a deer lying on the side of the road,' Cynthia says. 'I realized he had just been hit by a motorist.' "

"Cynthia approached the obviously dying animal 'to see what help I could offer.' Meanwhile, a security guard called Montgomery County police, and a crowd (including several children) began to gather."

"The man did his butchering in full view of several children, all ages 10 to 12, according to Cynthia."

"Cynthia says the children who saw the incident were extremely troubled by the man's behavior, and she 'walked away from the scene in tears.' "

"Let's not turn suburban Maryland into a place where savagery is condoned in the name of free meat."

IN OTHER WORDS...

It's OK for these kids to eat cows raised in factory farms -- many of which don't ever get to eat even one blade of grass in their whole short lives -- but for someone to take a more natural route in front of kids is "savage".

Take these kids to the local cow farm to see where their Big Mac comes from and see how many of them are crying.
 

MD: Anti-self-defense Baltimore misses goal of reducing homicides to 175 this year

"Baltimore crashed through its goal of reducing this year's homicide toll to 175 -- recording three killings Tuesday night, including one of a juvenile."

"Mayor Martin O'Malley, who set the goal when he was running for office in 1999, said that he aims to substantially reduce homicides, even after failing to reach this year's target."

" 'We set very high expectations for the people of our city,' O'Malley said yesterday. 'We wanted it to be down to 175 by the end of this year. That's not going to happen. ... We would have hoped to stay within that or even less than that. It just reiterates the fact that there's just much more work that we need to do. We've got our work cut out, and there's no break to be taken in this process.' "

"The city had gone several days without any homicides, but three people were gunned down Tuesday night in separate incidents. One man was shot in the face; another was shot in the back of the head with a shotgun; and a 15-year-old was killed in a double shooting that left a 13-year-old wounded."

"Hunts would be made subject to national laws on animal cruelty, effectively allowing some forms of the sport to survive, under proposals being considered by ministers for a Bill to be published within "a matter of weeks", Alun Michael, the rural affairs minister, said last night."

"The proposals were outlined at the end of three days of hearings at Westminster on the future of hunting with dogs. Hunting is currently exempt from animal welfare legislation, which bans unnecessary cruelty. Under proposals being considered by ministers that would end."

"Houston police Capt. Mark Aguirre, the officer in charge of last month's mass arrests at several westside businesses, remains under virtual house arrest, his attorney said Wednesday."

"Aguirre has been unable to leave his home between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays since Aug. 24 without permission from a Houston Police Department supervisor, said his attorney, Terry W. Yates."

"Aguirre was suspended with pay last month after he ordered the arrests of 298 people on trespassing and curfew charges during two raids the weekend of Aug. 17-18. The arrests stemmed from a police effort to combat illegal drag racing in the area."

And he's not in jail because...?

The man showed up at the embassy on Wednesday while a memorial ceremony was going on inside the compound wearing a Hussein mask & army fatigues.

Because his outfit "was likely to cause annoyance among those attending the service," authorities asked the man to leave; he refused and was subsequently arrested on charges of causing a public nuisance.

"Outside DCM in Oxford Street, dozens of people were forced to stand in small groups, with their legs apart, as a dog gave them the once-over."

"The media was on hand to capture the drama and, as the television cameras rolled, senior officers described the operation as a huge success. Four people were charged with supplying drugs and about a dozen with minor possession offences."

"But nearly a year later, the 'huge success' is being called into question because the actions against the clubs have been withdrawn or thrown out of court."

Then the author says the cost of the new 'armed-pilots bureaucracy' will be too high.

And then from airline executives: "While we are spending literally billions of dollars to keep dangerous weapons off of aircraft, the idea of intentionally introducing thousands of deadly weapons into the system appears to be dangerously counterproductive."
 

TX: Police supervisor says media, citizens should not "criticize the validity of an arrest"

"As a Houston Police Department supervisor with more than 25 years of experience serving the Houston community, I have been dismayed by the comments of citizens and critics in the media about HPD's handling of the so-called Kmart/Westheimer raid."

"If a person feels they have been arrested improperly, an independent judge and jury provide them an opportunity to state their case. It is not the role of the media or citizens to criticize the validity of an arrest."

WHAT ABOUT CRITICIZING THE VALIDITY OF ASSININE REMARKS MADE BY MINDLESS POLICE STATE APOLIGISTS?

That IS the role of the media, and it IS the role of concerned citizens -- this government employee is just too stupid to know it, probably because he's ignorant of the Constitution, and his loyalty to truly protecting the rights of the people went out the window some time before he made such an unintelligent remark. HPD has already gotten rid of some rotten apples; why they left this jackass in there to speak for them is indeed a mystery.

One Number -- 592,777 -- tells us plenty about Florida Democrats

Janet Reno's failed bid for the Florida governorship reveals exactly how ignorant a Democrat can be. Though her Alzheimer's disease may preclude her from knowing it, Mrs. Reno lost to her challenger in the Democrat primary by only a few thousand votes in a sea of 1.3 Million votes cast.

Fortunately, we didn't have to see her pass out on stage while muttering about whatever mass murderers (Waco) mutter about as they hit the floor.

Still, one thing is clear: 592,777 Florida Democrats will vote for someone who slaughters a score of little children and covers up investigations of the event -- and that should scare anyone who sees this Republic being democratized.

Maybe we can finally get her to move South to Cuba so she can go visit Elian Gonzalez to see how his childhood is shaping up.

" 'Do you see those two buildings?' he asked while pointing toward the World Trade Center. 'They won't be standing there next week.' It was noon, Sept. 6, 2001."

"The idea of pistol-packing pilots jetting around Canadian skies just isn't on."

"That's the welcome caution from Transport Minister David Collenette. As he noted last week, 'you're either a pilot or a policeman.' In his mind, you can't be both."

"The United States seems prepared to hand its airline pilots that dual role to prevent a repeat of last year's terrorist hijackings."

"Ottawa is smart not to follow Washington's lead. Letting pilots strap on a .45 only invites potentially disastrous trouble in the air."

What should we expect from the Canadian media -- they'd also rather see a woman raped than a rapist shot by his intended victim, so their moral compass is already broken.

Talking Head Couric & PAPS (Pig in a Pant Suit)

Item 3 in list:
-------
"Just before 12 noon EDT, Couric hit Senator Hillary Clinton from the left: 'When it comes to the government I wanted to ask you, you voted in favor of having guns in cockpits of airplanes. Of course a lot of critics have said this is insane, this is a ridiculous notion.
Why did you decide to support that measure?' "

Violent Racist Zimbabwe President Robert Mubabe to be "Guest of Honor" at Race-based Event in NYC

"Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe - whose controversial land-seizure programs have drawn the ire of the world - is expected to drop by City Hall on Thursday to make his case to the city's minority lawmakers. Mugabe...will be guest of honor at a reception by members of the City Council's black and Latino caucus. Mugabe has sought to seize about 90 percent of the country's fertile farmlands currently occupied by whites and hand it over to landless blacks."

QUESTION:

If a white leader of another country was encouraging armed white people out throw black farmers off of their land -- by force if necessary -- and if he was invited to be a "Guest of Honor" at an event catering to white people's political interests here in America, where do you think the first riot would take place?

"The order to shave facial hair and to 're-adapt uniform and grooming standards' came after a special operations commander, Maj. Gen. Geoff Lambert, saw numerous photographs of troops operating on the ground in Afghanistan with full beards and partial uniforms. The decision came after the perception that the grooming standard of the troops was out of hand and that the time had passed for the need of the soldiers to blend in."

"You've heard about reparations where whites compensate blacks for enslaving us - guess what we've got now: Reverse Reparations: blacks earn less in retirement benefits cos they have shorter life spans - next time a Democrat says he won't touch Social Security ask why he thinks blacks owe reparations to whites"

Julian Bond (NAACP) said "To believe aiming lies in such a racially colored way aimed at African American voters thinking they'd buy it hook, line, sinker is insulting.'

"For those of you who missed our shows last Thursday and Friday, you missed hearing my outrage over the interview conducted by NBC's Matt Lauer last Thursday with screen legend and probable Alzheimer's sufferer Charlton Heston. While Lauer acknowledged Heston's formidable screen and stage career in the interview, he devoted most of the second day to grilling Mr. Heston on his NRA activities and political advocacy on behalf of gun rights."

Two flights to NY JFK airport were diverted with F- 16 Fighter Jet escort over security concerns; one of them because a sick woman left her seat to go the bathroom violating a security rule within 30 mi. limit of NY & the other diversion was due to miscommunication between pilot & air controllers.

The sick woman is being spared local & federal charges.

"Although his heart problems raise questions about his ability to carry out his duties, Cheney said: 'If the president's willing & my wife approves & my doctors say it's OK, then I'd be happy to serve a 2ND term - but I emphasize again, that's the president's call, not mine.' "

"After America was attacked 61 years ago, we started turning vacuum-cleaner factories into machine-gun factories in a matter of weeks. We created an intelligence-gathering service that stole enemy plans within months."

"People sacrificed their jobs, careers. Families were pried apart. All for their country."

"That was then."

"Now it's a big deal to stick a flag on your SUV. Now the CIA is so fat, it's more interested in protecting its turf - and its rear - than protecting its countrymen."

"We're better today at holding ceremonies memorializing victims than holding villains accountable. Witness Wednesday's over-televised sobfest. It was a redux of the goofy candlelight telethon held right after we were attacked, when we were filled with justifiable rage."

Victims had a "protection-from-abuse" order. Another case of a piece of paper that failed to protect against a murderer.

Or as one Newslinks reader said the other day,
"They are going to have to start issuing these protection orders on steel plate; paper doesn't seem to be working."
