As a schoolboy I read most of Carl Sandburg's six-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln. Sandburg was a poet-performer, and I tended to skip his rhapsodic passages, thus missing some key points. Even so, I was sufficiently drawn to his Lincoln … well, to be precise, there is no Sandburg Lincoln, only a sort of grab bag of anecdotes, a do-it-yourself folklore Lincoln, using material that, with time's passage, has been more and more rejected by those scholar squirrels who are always in attendance upon the Lincoln brigade's stern academic icon-dusters. Eventually, I came to write my own Lincoln, dealing with the master politician as a counterbalance to the folksy figure so beloved of ...

Was Lincoln gay? Firebrand Larry Kramer says he has the evidence to prove it. Lincoln scholars are holding their fire until they see it. Get ready for the second Civil War. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Carol Lloyd The 28-year-old traveler was tall, with rough hands, a chiseled jaw and unforgettable, deep-set, melancholy eyes. He arrived in town, his worldly possessions in two battered suitcases, and inquired at a general store about buying some bedding. But the price was far beyond his budget. The strikingly handsome 23-year-old merchant took pity on the man and invited him into his own bed, free of charge, which happened to be just upstairs. The traveler inspected the bed and, looking ...
The Foley Scandal
It's not just about Rep. Foley.

The Foley Scandal It's not just about Rep. Foley. Sunday, October 1, 2006; B06 THE SUDDEN resignation of Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) involves more than an obviously troubled man who sent sexually suggestive e-mails to underage congressional pages. Numerous fellow lawmakers, including Republican leaders, apparently had at least partial knowledge about Mr. Foley's disturbing conduct. A thorough and prompt accounting is needed of what colleagues knew about his behavior, when they knew it and what they did about it. The system of congressional pages offers valuable experience for teenage boys and girls but also puts a burden on Congress to ensure that the young people in its care are not ...

The man who had 14 wives [Oliver Killeen] was so fond of weddings he had attended 16 of his own. Sadly, just like his marriage to education expert Margaret Curtin, then 43, all but two were bogus. And as if that wasn't extraordinary enough, the university qualifications on which he had built his career as a relationship counsellor and psychologist were false, too. Oliver Killeen, international fraudster, had simply culled his knowledge from self-help books he'd read while in prison. Boasting a string of qualifications in psychology, his patients included lawyers, doctors and teachers. It was to take years before Margaret discovered the truth — that she was married to one of ...

Mark Foley asked organizers of a nudist summer camp for children to strengthen their background checks of employees Monday after meeting with leaders of nudist organizations that were defending the camp. A coalition of groups representing recreational nudists asked to meet with Foley, appealing to him to respect the privacy of the families that choose to send their children to the camp. Foley called attention to the camp last month when he asked Gov. Jeb Bush to investigate whether the summer ...

House GOP Leadership knew about Foley almost a year ago, let Foley remain in House leadership, let him remain as chair of House sex offender caucus by John in DC - 9/29/2006 07:06:00 PM Does House Republican leader Denny Hastert have a soft spot for child sex offenders? Seems so. Republican House Speaker Denny Hastert has some serious explaining to do, after today's revelations that they knew about ex-Congressman Mark Foley's sexscapades a good year ago, and did nothing. Whether or not the kid's parents were fine with letting it go, which the story says is the case, why did Republican House Speaker Denny Hastert permit Foley to remain in the House GOP leadership for almost a year after ...

September 29, 2006 5:59 PM Brian Ross, Rhonda Schwartz & Maddy Sauer Report: Florida Rep. Mark Foley's resignation came just hours after ABC News questioned the congressman about a series of sexually explicit instant messages involving congressional pages, high school students who are under 18 years of age. In Congress, Rep. Foley (R-FL) was part of the Republican leadership and the chairman of the House caucus on missing and exploited children. He crusaded for tough laws against those who used the Internet for sexual exploitation of children. "They're sick people; they need mental health counseling," Foley said. But, according to several former congressional pages, the ...

In 1992 two Jeffersonville, Indiana lesbians, aged 17 and 16, abducted a 12-year-old girl whom they accused of trying to "steal a girlfriend." The little girl was pushed into the trunk of a car, stabbed repeatedly, and beaten with a heavy metal bar. While still struggling, they poured gasoline on her and set her ablaze. Later that year a Fort Lauderdale, Florida 14-year-old was convicted of first-degree murder for helping to kill his 40-year-old father. The father "was stabbed 45 times and beaten so badly with an iron skillet that the skillet shattered." The boy confessed that he helped his father’s former homosexual lover and roommate kill him so he and the ...

DETROIT, Sept. 25 — When the new Chevrolet Silverado pickups begin rolling out of factories this fall, they will have stronger frames, more fuel-efficient engines and a metaphorical American flag in the rear window. Starting this weekend, General Motors will run ads that tap into patriotism. The same brand that likened itself to baseball, hot dogs and apple pie in commercials in the 1970’s now hopes to kindle the same feelings by positioning the Silverado as America’s truck. No longer is the Silverado “like a rock,” as Bob Seger insisted for years. Chevy has enlisted singer John Mellencamp, whose soon-to-be-released anthem “Our Country” will be the ...
WMR: POTUS a closet homosexual? College and Air National Guard activities exposed

Sep. 26, 2006 -- According to individuals who investigated George W. Bush's stint in the 147th Fighter Group of the Texas Air National Guard (TANG), the GOP's top dirty tricksters, notably Karl Rove and Roger Stone, interceded to derail the investigation and, instead, have CBS focus on Bush's faxed, scanned, and Xeroxed original TANG records -- which were later hyped by the right-wing media as fakes. The reason for the GOP's concern was that the investigation was getting dangerously close to exposing Bush's suspected homosexual activity with other members of his TANG unit. Given the times and culture of the early 1970s, investigators were surprised to discover Bush's frequent association ...

I've been having this fantasy recently about how the more stupid Americans (say Freepers) would react if we nuked Iran: "Awright! Go USA! Fuck Iran! Yeah, we just nuked those fuckers, yeah! Uh, hey, why's gas suddenly $5 a gallon? I guess it doesn't really matter, though, cuz I lost my job and had my Dodge Ram repossessed...lost my house, too. Shit, I didn't think it'd be like this....maybe nuking the place wasn't just a great idea."

The barrister whose wife has conducted a 19-month affair with a Tory MP has made a bitter attack on him, accusing him of wrecking family life and causing pain and suffering that would continue "for decades". Rupert Mayo spoke out a week after it was disclosed that Philippa Mayo, his wife and the mother of their three children, was leaving him to pursue her relationship with James Gray, the MP for North Wiltshire. Mr Mayo said: "The irony is that I will not reap the benefits of David Cameron's excellent family-based policy proposals because one of his own MPs has ripped my own family apart." Mr Gray, 51, who is also a father of three, has admitted conducting his affair ...

Former Ohio Congressman Bob Ney has admitted his role in Washington's influence peddling scandal, but prosecutors still have other politicians in their sights After months of defiant protestations of innocence about his role in the Jack Abramoff influence-peddling scandal, Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, has pleaded guilty to making false statements, to conspiracy to commit fraud and violating post-employment restrictions for former congressional aides. But the probe into the lobbying scandal is far from wrapped up. A source close to the investigation told TIME that scores of US prosecutors and FBI agents continue to examine the activities of other sitting members of Congress and prominent ...

To be described as an unfaithful, pot-smoking self-centred robot two months before seeking re-election is something most politicians would think unhelpful. But for Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood hard man turned California governor, it is just another chapter in his journey from immigrant body-builder to Republican leader of America's most populous state. The Austrian-born star has again strayed from the political rule book by ignoring the moral majority to contribute a foreword to an ex-girlfriend's tell-all book. Arnold and Me: In the Shadow of the Austrian Oak is the self-published memoir of Barbara Outland Baker, who dated the governor for six years. Rather than issue fervent ...

An African-American educator hired to promote diversity at the tony Riverdale Country School contends he was told to avoid the children of black celebrities and find more "full-paying Asians and non-Jews," the Daily News has learned. In a lawsuit set to be filed today in Bronx Supreme Court, Shereem Herndon-Brown says he was hired as admissions director to increase diversity at the $31,200-a-year Riverdale Country School's middle and upper schools. But he alleges his efforts were thwarted by Headmaster John Johnson. Johnson persuaded Herndon-Brown to avoid recruiting children of African-American celebrities, like Sean (Diddy) Combs and Spike Lee, because such parents ...

20. To: Badeye (#17) I warned him publicly at least twice, and by email NOT to post anything that was in Arabic, or linked to an Arabic language site. He said it was done accidently, and would not do it again. In the last article he posted, (I deleted the thread), when I went to the link, it was AGAIN to an Arabic language site. That was it. Done. I won't be lied to. LP cannot tolerate that. We are at war...like it or not. There is no way for me or others who cannot speak Arabic to know whether or not there are messages between terrorists going on, and I won't be a party to that. It's too dangerous for all of us. When I warn someone about an action, and spell out the reason why, and they do ...

Authors claim Rove lobbied to get Abramoff, 'gay stepdad' chapters removed from book RAW STORY Published: Wednesday September 6, 2006 The authors of a new book claim that Karl Rove lobbied to get chapters removed which alleged that President Bush's chief political adviser held streetcorner meetings with fallen superlobbyist Jack Abramoff, knowing that all visits and phones calls to the White House were logged, and that his stepdad was gay. On Saturday, RAW STORY reported that The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan for Absolute Power written by Austin-based journalist James Moore and senior Dallas Morning News political reporter Wayne Slater would reveal that Rove's step-father, ...

An Italian politician has used the "work makes you free" slogan used on the gates at Auschwitz in a brochure to promote local job centres. Tommaso Coletti said he could not remember the source but was impressed by the quote. "Work makes you free. I don't remember where I read this phrase but it was one of those quotes that have an instant impact on you because they tell an immense truth," Mr Coletti, the president of Italy's southern Chieti province and member of the centre-left "Daisy" party, wrote in the pamphlet. Countless photographs have focused on the "Arbeit macht Frei" sign at Auschwitz to encapsulate the horror of the Nazi death camps. ...
