Just a couple of articles from Slick Times. I do love that magazine!
A lot of it is just funny, but they have a few "too weird to not be
true areas" as well. Well, I guess Bill really IS good for the
economy. Afterall, there are all these people hard at work putting
out a magazine primarily about him and his misadministration. ;)
March
The Rev. Imagene Stewart came to the capital for the famous 1963
march on Washington and stayed on to run homes for battered women.
The Clinton White House recently tapped the well-known black
clergywoman to work with the White House Conference Against Hate
Crimes. Trouble was, the Rev. Stewart's approach to hate crimes
didn't fit the liberal mindset. "During the meeting I stated that
there are a lot of blacks who promote hate and I feel that black
racists should be included in the agenda," she says. "At that point,
I was immediately denounced by two or three persons from the NAACP.
They were aghast. Their mouths dropped open. One member of the NAACP
came up to me later and said I was not helping our cause as a race.
I don't believe until we admit there are problems on both sides we
will ever solve the problem. There are black racists out there. The
conference is turning out to be a White House conference against
white people." But the black clergywoman senses her politically
incorrect stand has consequences. "I don't know if I'll ever be
invited back."

The United Nations development agency has ranked Cuba, whose people
are starving and whose economy is slouching into the stone age, as
the world's second best nation at combating poverty, ahead of Chile,
Singapore, and Costa Rica, which are all economic success stories.
The winner? Trinadad and Tobago. How can nations eliminate poverty?
Narrow differences between the genders and social classes, says the
UN.     
... Too many foreign countries are living beyond our means.
