Dear richie baby, dat were a great qoute from Neville Chamberland. But let us discuss the really really import conspiracy of the century. newsmax.com The Jenna Bush Frat Party Photo Conspiracy Cue the "Twilight Zone" music and break out the tinfoil hats. The allegedly mysterious disappearance of a photo of first daughter Jenna Bush at a college frat party last week has mainstream media conspiracy theorists panting. Reporters didn't bat an eye when half of the Vincent Foster death scene photos vanished and the other half turned up underexposed. Or when X-rays showing what looked like bullet fragments in Ron Brown's head were destroyed. But now that a photo of first daughter Jenna Bush has been pulled from the Web site Flash Photography, the company hired to take pictures of a Texas Christian University frat party last week, the media is newly curious. The Associated Press has actually covered the Jenna Bush frat party photo conspiracy with an apparent straight face, revealing Saturday that: "Flash Photography always posts pictures after events so students can order them easily, but owner Rick Strong declined to comment why the Bush picture was suddenly missing Friday." "Freshman William Ashe Bridges, who later was arrested for public intoxication after police raided the bash, is in the picture with Bush, several students confirmed." Police subsequently hauled Bridges off to the local drunk tank, where he was collected by Jenna and her Secret Service agents four hours later. The White House is claiming it had nothing to do with the disappearing Jenna pic, but media conspiracy theorists aren't buying it. These would be the same reporters who declined to pursue multiple on-the-record allegations of President Clinton's cocaine use. But the thought that a college coed may have been - omigod - drinking at a frat party, now there's a real scandal. And so, inquiring minds want to know: Was it Poppy, with his shadowy CIA connections, who blackmailed Flash Photography into yanking his grandaughter's photo? How about Bar, the iron lady of Houston and Kennebunkport. Might she have sneaked into Flash Photography's studios and purloined the Jenna negatives? And just where was Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris when the damning photo went missing? Has anybody frisked Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Conner, who helped "select" President Bush? If the Democrats take back Congress in 2002, look for a full investigation. tom watson tosiwmee

The United States will become increasingly vulnerable to hostile attack on our homeland, possibly by weapons of mass destruction, from which our military might not entirely protect us. Rapid advances in information and biotechnologies — though an American strength — will create new vulnerabilities for U.S. security as they proliferate around the world and can be used against us. Energy sources and production, including the United States’ continued dependence on fossil fuels, will continue to be of major strategic significance. “All borders will be more porous,” according to the report. “Some will bend and some will break.” The sovereignty of states will endure, in spite of the “global economy” and ongoing efforts to build transnational institutions. “Foreign crises will be replete with atrocities and the deliberate terrorizing of civilian populations.” Space will become militarized and by a larger number of nations. I disagree that we are more civilized ....or less. You state it as though it were so. Our defense dept is the "worlds" defense dept and there is plenty of evidence of that. Terrorist threats tax our ingenuity and resources. Everyone hates us to some extent, just natural, but who are we bullying besides Iraq and of course, what's wrong with a little of that. Even the other Arabs were OK with that at one time, but now they've lost their will.
