WASHINGTON (AFP) - Federal law enforcement agents have raided the
Alaska home of a senior Republican senator as part of a probe into
political corruption, US media reported on Tuesday.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service
on Monday afternoon searched the home of Senator Ted Stevens amid
questions about his ties to an Alaska oil services company, VECO
Corp., newspapers reported.

US authorities are investigating whether Stevens and a Republican
member of the House of Representatives, Don Young, accepted bribes or
other gifts from the company. The chief executive of VECO has already
pleaded guilty to a bribery scheme targeting state lawmakers in
Alaska.

Stevens, 83, who entered the US Senate in 1968, said in a statement
his lawyers were informed about the search beforehand and he declined
to comment to avoid "any appearance that I have attempted to influence
its outcome."

Yup........The Disgusting Democrats are Just Waking Up to the FACT
that the "Surge" is WORKING and they're going to be Caught SHORT
because the Democrats are TOTALLY INVESTED IN FAILURE In
Iraq..........Ain't It A HOOT?.........Heehee..........

CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. physicians who identify themselves as
religious are no more likely to care for poor, underserved patients
than those who have no religious affiliation, researchers have found.

The study suggests doctors in the United States who see religion as a
"master motive in their lives" are not more likely to care for the
poor than others.

"Religious physicians are not disproportionately caring for the
underserved," Dr. Farr Curlin, of the University of Chicago, said in a
telephone interview on Monday.

Curlin, who considers himself religious, said he undertook the study
because many religions include a call to serve the poor.

"I was curious about whether doctors who are more formed in their
religious beliefs are more likely to take care of patients who are
poor," said Curlin, whose study appears in the Annals of Family
Medicine.

He and colleagues at Yale New Haven Hospital in Connecticut mailed
surveys to 1,820 practicing doctors. Of those, 63 percent responded.

There is a new service from Expedia, Travelocity and other travel
websites: environmental expiation. If you wish, when you buy a plane
ticket, they will figure out how much carbon your trip will be adding...

WHEN ALL THE LOOSE ENDS FINALLY MAKE SENSE.......

"When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains - however improbable -

After four years of having the image of real planes of at least some kind
firmly planted in one's mind, it can be difficult to switch gears, but I
have due to the study of the images. But in doing so, unexpectedly other
bonuses were revealed..

Trying repeatedly to fit all of the left-over anomalies below into the
scenario of real planes, just didn't work. They made no sense, and didn't
leave the expected physical evidence that should have been plentiful, by
instead was strangely absent.

But it's amazing what a 5-10 second tape delay and virtual planes can do,
for they all started falling into place.

---Why the plane didn't break apart from the impossible calculated speeds,
some 100+ mph in excess

---Why the prolonged stand-down

Proposal to harmonize Thanksgiving in Canada and the United States and
Guy Fawkes Night in England:

1) Canadian Thanksgiving will be moved from the second Monday in
October.
2) American Thanksgiving will be moved from the fourth Thursday in
November.
3) Guy Fawkes Night wherever it's celebrated will be moved from November
5th.
4) All of these holidays will be celebrated on the second Friday in
November.
5) If this works out, efforts will be made to harmonize these holidays
with French sensibilities by putting them all on a Wednesday and taking
the whole week off.
6) I foresee no problems with this, "Remember, Remember the second
Friday in November" scans good enough.
7) See my other thread on moving Bastille Day from the 14th of July to
the 10th to match up with the new date I've proposed for the Fourth of
July.

The "Caveman" panel during ABC's portion of the television critics
press tour was anything but pleasant. Critics drilled the producers
with questions about the comparisons between the "Caveman" characters
and stereotypes of African Americans. After much prodding executive
producer Mike Schiff finally admitted that the ethnic prejudice theme
was a "background to the show ... but it's not a driving force.
