tell me how this piece of (alleged) STINKING FILTH
can have a dozen supporters? or even ONE for that matter. the DNA EVIDENCE SAID HE FATHERED THE CHILD OF AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD GIRL. why would ANYONE, ANYONE support a man who could do this? WHY (he's not gone to trial yet so i will hold back a bit. ). anyone who supports him (with the dna evidence proving he indeed fathered the girl's child) should ALSO be thrown in the slammer

Three-century-old Virginia witch is exonerated
Grace Sherwood was convicted through trial by water in 1706 VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (AP) -- The Witch of Pungo is no longer a witch.Gov. Timothy M. Kaine gave an informal pardon Monday to Grace Sherwood, who 300 years ago became Virginia's only person convicted as a witch tried by water."I am pleased to officially restore the good name of Grace Sherwood," Kaine wrote in a letter that Virginia Beach Mayor Meyera Oberndorf read aloud before a re-enactment of Sherwood's being dropped into the river."With 300 years of hindsight, we all certainly can agree that trial by water is an injustice," Kaine wrote. "We also can celebrate the fact that a woman's equality is constitutionally protected today, and women have the freedom to pursue their hopes and dreams." ( Watch the re-enactment of Sherwood's riverside trial -- :42 )Sherwood, a midwife who at times wore men's clothes and lived in what today is the rural Pungo neighborhood, later became known as "The Witch of Pungo."..........

years ago when i went to visit friends in texas, we went to the texas state fair (where, i will tell you, i almost passed out for the FIRST time in my life STONE COLD SOBER mind you - due to the heat AND it was october) and besides being attacked (in a GOOD way) by pygmy goats, AN EMU SHAT ON MY SHOES

Emus on the loose
(Middletown-WTNH, July 10, 2006 2:38 PM) _ Farmers in West Simsbury are desperate to find their missing emus. Five of the large flightless birds are living at the Flamig Farm; two got loose this weekend and are still on a wild adventure. One was spotted in Simsbury. The last known sighting of the other bird was in Middletown this morning -- a good 45 miles away.
by News Channel 8's Jodi Latina
A drive in the country -- birds are chirping, cats purring, and an emu is missing. What?!
"We're looking for an emu. Yeah, big, runs real fast. Have you seen it?" asks the reporter."No I had not," says Pete Smigel.
Yes, state police and Middletown police report an emu is on the loose.
"Haven't seen it.""Would you know what to do if you had?" asks the reporter."I would call you.""What am I gonna do?""I don't know. I'd run!" says John Nemecek as he laughs......

Lieberman confronted by voter on campaign stop
(WTNH, July 10, 2006 6:10 PM) _ With just 28 days to go until the state Democratic primary, Senator Joe Lieberman seems to be encountering a bit of political harassment.
Ned Lamont's campaign says they have nothing to do with it but Lieberman's campaign thinks otherwise.
by Chief Political Correspondent Mark Davis
It has been a full week since Senator Lieberman announced he would hedge his bets on the outcome of the Democratic primary by circulating petitions to run as an Independent in November. Today, he got called on that strategy at one of his own campaign events.
In between events in the Hartford area today, Senator Lieberman made a quick trip to the Tigin Irish Pub in Stamford to get the endorsement of the Irish/American Democrats of Connecticut.
There were two anti-Lieberman picketers outside who claimed not to be part of the Lamont campaign.
Inside, I found myself in the middle of a verbal confrontation from someone who claimed to be a life-long Democrat and Lieberman supporter.
"I'm wondering why you're being a 'fair weather democrat' saying that you'll only respect the Democratic primary if you win, isn't that the epitome of a 'fair weather Democrat?" asks Maura Keaney."I'm gonna win," says Lieberman."And if you win I will respect that and I will support you 100 percent as will other Irish-American immigrants," says Keaney."I want ultimately to give a larger group, including a larger group of Democrats the opportunity to vote in November," says Lieberman."Aren't Democrats smart enough to know when the primary is?" asks Keaney."I hope so, and, in a way this is a challenge and look, this is the point of our system," says Lieberman....................
