Abortions now restricted
Oakland Tribune, CA - 11-6-03
By Richard W. Stevenson, New York Times.
WASHINGTON -- Surrounded by cheering anti-abortion
advocates who gave the ceremony the air of a presidential pep rally, Bush
completed the final act of a years-long struggle to ban the procedure its
opponents say is morally odious. It was the first time a specific abortion
procedure has been legally prohibited since the Supreme Court ruling in Roe
v. Wade 30 years ago guaranteed the right of a woman to terminate her
pregnancy...

Bill may suspend use of RU-486 abortion pill
Tri-Valley Herald, CA - 11-6-03
WASHINGTON -- A
bill named after a Livermore woman who died due to complications from taking
the RU-486 abortion pill is scheduled to be presented to Congress today in
an effort to stop the use of the drug.
Rep. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said at least four dozen lawmakers are backing

Administration's approval of RU-486... |
President
signs ban on type of abortion
The Collegiate Times, VA - 11-6-03
...But less than
an hour after Bush put his pen to paper, a federal judge in Nebraska sharply
questioned the law’s constitutionality and issued a limited temporary
restraining order against it. U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf said he was
concerned that the ban contains no exception if the woman’s health is at
risk as he issued an injunction applied only to the four doctors who
brought the suit.... |
Soon
we will be back to the days of barefoot, pregnant and back alley abortions.
There was not one woman standing with Bush signing the bill, and no
wonder, there is no provision for the protection of the woman's life.

Editorial: Credit card war
Sacramento Bee, CA - 11-6-03
... A year ago, Lawrence Lindsey, top economic
adviser in the White House, estimated that war and reconstruction in Iraq
could cost $200 billion. He was shushed and soon sacked. Such large price
tags were an exaggeration, we were told. Rebuilding Iraq, U.S. foreign aid
director Andrew Natsios said last April, would cost U.S. taxpayers a total
of $1.7 billion...

Great
site. I check it every morning before I go to work (of course my
morning in Japan is +14 hours on EST). I would note, however that 6500
meters is more like 21,325.5 feet. (1 meter 39.37 inches, give or
take).

Dear
John,
Thank you for writing.
I am math challenged here in 'Merica---I lifted that sentence from the handout
picture caption that was provided from JIJI Press.
I would love to go to Japan someday. How wonderful that you work there.
I still am awed with the reach of the Internet that Al Gore invented.
Take care.

Issue for Bush: How to Speak of Casualties?
By ELISABETH BUMILLER NYTIMES Published: November 5, 2003
...He [Bush] was offended, his friends say,
by what he saw at times as President Bill Clinton's exploitation of private
grief for political gain.
Like other presidents, Mr. Clinton appeared
at some military funerals. In October 2000, he attended a memorial service
in Norfolk, Va., for the 17 sailors killed in the bombing of the
guided-missile destroyer Cole. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan attended a
memorial service at Camp Lejeune, N.C., for 241 marines killed in Beirut.
President Jimmy Carter attended ceremonies for troops killed in the failed
hostage-rescue mission in Iran.

a sitcom called 'The Clintons.'" —Jay Leno
"Zell
Miller, the latest darling of the Neanderthal knuckle-dragging Right Wing. As a
Democrat, he is loathsome. Just what is his problem? Why doesn't he just become
a GOP slug and be done with it? I remember the days when I admired him. I
remember the days when he was Bill Clinton's mentor and defender! But how he
changed when he was named to the Senate. I wonder what he's been smoking or
eating. Or just exactly what the GOP has on him."....
