George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.\n\nHe phoned the police, who asked, "Is an intruder in your house?" and he said no. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.\n\n"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now 'cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.\n\nWithin five minutes, three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence. Of course, the police caught the burglars red handed.\n\nOne of the policemen said to George, "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"\n\nGeorge said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"\n\ni thought this one was hilarious

Q: "Did he really "rent" out a room in the White House?"\nA: Technically no, but he did allow contributors to his campaign to sleep at the White House, so there was a quid pro quo.\n\nQ: "Did he really sell secrets to China?"\nA: This was never proven in a court of law, but there is abundant evidence that the Clintons were receiving illegal campaign contributions from the Chinese, that their friend Bernie Ebbers at Loral passed secrets to the Chinese, and that a Chinese agent was working within the White House.\n\nQ: "Did he really have "sex" in the White House?"\nA: Would your wife agree that a BJ is not sex?\n\nQ: "Did he really go to Russia during Vietnam?"\nA: Yes.  While a student at Oxford University in England, Clinton participated in a protest rally against the U.S. during a trip to the Soviet Union.\n\nQ: "What else did he do?"\nA1: He lied to a military officer in order to gain a draft deferment.\nA2: He lied to a Grand Jury, thus committing perjury, while in office.

What won't they uncover more like.\n\n1) That there was never any real evidence that there were WMDs\n2) That the whole invasion and war was planned out by  the New American Century think tank back at the start of the Clinton years.\n3) That Karl Rove revealed Valerie Plame's name to the press with the knowing consent of the president\n4) That Haliburton ad the subsidiaries of Carlysle group have been the recipient of a huge amount of government funds that cannot be accounted for.\n5) That Rumsfeld ignored vital advice from the brass on what was needed to win the war.\n6) That plans were made to  invade Iran as well.\n\n...the list goes on and on.

The Watergate scandal was a slow-building series of embarrassing and incriminating disclosures about the conduct of the Nixon administration in using its political authority and executive powers, beginning with the disclosure of the Pentagon Papers—a highly classified Defense Department study of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and preceding political and military conflicts in the Southeast Asia region, in the wake of the end of French Indochina colonial occupation.\n\nRead all about it at the link below.

The mother of all coverups: i think the Cubans were behind JFK's assassination.  Castro was getting back at JFK for his involvement in trying to get the American Mafia to assassinate him. The Russian connectin, helped give the Cubans the patsy they needed (in the form of Oswald) to carry out the job. A week before the assassination, Oswald met with a Cuban agent in Mexico City.  The FBI was following up on this lead during the Warren Commission investigation, but the FBI agents were recalled on orders from their HQ office in DC.  Ruby had all sorts of connections with the Mafia, including Marcello of New Orleans and Giancana from Chicago.  But why did the US Govt keep the Russian, Cuban and Mafia connection out of the limelight, what is the truth???

Well never know.\n\nFrom what I read, people didn't believe Nixon could have known about that watergate thing.

Maybe because he wanted to be caught.\n\nA lot of these guys do.  Sometimes it's because they want to be stopped but mostly because they want to recognized for what they have wrought.

That's what I am trying to figure out. I know that J.T. and Paul found some information that had his birth date, social security number and name but it wasn't his face on the picture. Who is he really? And why did he steal that other guys identity? All I know is he must be a hell of a hustler because for an ex pool boy he sure has married into wealthy families, the Abbotts twice and the Newmans.

Republican elected to the U.S. House of Reps in 1946 and 1948. Then elected to the U.S. Senate in 1950. Then was elected Vice President in 1952 with Dwight Eisenhower. Then ran for President in 1960 but narrowly lost to Jack Kennedy. Then ran for President again in 1968 and narrowly won. Ran for re-election as President in 1972 and won by a landslide (carried every state except Massachusetts). Then resigned in August, 1974 because he was about to be impeached. The articles of impeachment were mainly directed at the fact that he knew about a breaking-and-entering crime (at the Watergate Hotel, the office of the DNC) and actively tried to cover up the investigation.

The Democrat operative Richard Armitage admitted to being the leaker. Nothing is going to happen to him because no crime was committed.\n\nThe Liberal press did very little coverage of it. That is why you didn`t know.\nThat is also why you see all the posts here of uniformed answers about Scooter Libby who was indited for an unrelated issue and had nothing to do with the outing.

1) No\n2) No\n3) No\n4) No\n5) No\n6) No\n7) No\n8) Yes\n\nWhy does everything that Bush or Cheney do have to be a conspiracy to you people. If this is such a big deal, why didn't the liberal media know that Cheney was hunting? They didn't even know where he was.

The FBI had an opening for an assassin.\n\n\nAfter all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were 3 finalists.\n\nTwo men and a woman.\n\nFor the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.\n\n"We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair.\n\nKill Her!" \n\nThe man said, "You can't be serious, I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home."\n\nThe second man was given the same instructions.\n\nHe took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."\n\nThe agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."\n\nFinally, it was the woman's turn.\n\nShe was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls.\n\nAfter a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow. \n\n"This gun is loaded with blanks" she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."

I was originally as surprised by this unexpected announcement last Friday as you were, planksheer. But as one of your subsequent questions indicates, we may have the answer: the "new" Watergate scandal. I think goss was up to his neck in the illegal gambling and prostitution ring that was being operated by these upper level ANP swine and bush threw him over the side as soon as his intelligence people made him aware of the facts -- and especially the consequences. \n\nThat said, bush may well not have been happy with his hand-picked appointee's track record at the agency. Reports suggest goss routinely butted heads with old guard CIA officials who basically refused to cooperate with him (and who can blame them?). Clandestine organizations like that operate best when upper level officials are more or less on the same page and no one is out to make waves or set himself up as potentate, as goss apparently attempted to do. We should know more about all of this as leaks begin spouting (i.e., very soon).\n\nAnd I share your concerns about this new appointee, gen. michael hayden. He is thick as thieves with Dr. Evil (aka dick cheney) and that alone is enough for me to wish him to never make it out of committee. The fact that he headed up the illegal domestic spying program would, in normal times, be enough for him not even to be under consideration. Indeed, he'd likely be fighting his way through court trying to avoid prison time. This country -- or at least the government alleged to represent us -- in its present state is clinically insane.
