A 30-year-old millionaire playboy with a pre-pubescent mentality wants to be in Congress representing the good folks in North Carolina�s 5th Congressional District. It was my bad luck to have stumbled upon this worm...but now that I have, I�m left with no choice but to expose him (so to speak). After all, he all but �double-dared� me to do so in a very Gary Hart-like fashion. Anyway, I come to bury Nathan Tabor, not praise him. Check out my new website dedicated to revealing the fact behind the fiction on this clown at www.tabortales.com. PREZ LAUNCHES RESCURE MISSION IN...PA �President Bush will go to Pittsburgh April 19 on a rescue mission attempting to save four-term Sen. Arlen Specter, who faces an increasingly serious conservative challenge from Rep. Pat Toomey in the April 27 Pennsylvania Republican primary. �As a matter of policy, Bush supports all incumbent Republican members of Congress. He plans to campaign at Specter's side in Pittsburgh. He will then go to Hershey without the senator, but is expected during his visit there to call for Specter's renomination. �Polls have shown Toomey gaining ground on Specter, and Bush's trip may be necessary to stop that trend. Specter, a tough political infighter, disappointed his supporters in last Saturday's sole televised debate between the Republican Senate candidates. Specter repeatedly referred to notes, sometimes looked confused and once referred to �President Reagan� when he meant �President Bush.� " - Columnist Robert Novak SURVEY SAYS Do you think challenger Rep. Pat Toomey will defeat incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania�s April 27th GOP primary contest? * Yes * No * I�m a Kerry Democrat: Yes AND No ASIANS WAY OUT IN FRONT... �South Korea is known to have the world's highest usage rate of broadband Internet and is, along with Japan, home to the world's most advanced mobile telecommunications infrastructure.� - Washington Times, 4/11/04 ..MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE US... �(Houston) city schools are dropping a policy that required high school students to pass such core courses as English and math before they moved on to the next grade. The board of the Houston Independent School District on Thursday gave preliminary approval to a new promotion policy that school officials hope will keep struggling students from getting discouraged and help cut the district's dropout rate. More than 5,000 freshmen and sophomores who would have been held back under the old policy will now be promoted. . . . �I view this policy ahead of us as compassionate high standards,� said district trustee Dianne Johnson.� - Associated Press, 4/10/04 BRUSHFIRE ALERT �Compassionate high standards,� huh? Sounds like �dumbing down� to us. Who cares if Johnny can read, right? Just so long as he feels good about himself and doesn�t get �discouraged.� Wanna share YOUR thoughts with Ms. Johnson? You can email her at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] POLITICAL CROSS-DRESSERS �Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) found one of many typical examples of the way governments misspend our money. It is an annual appropriation for the Virginia Association of Counties. Last year, that group dined on gourmet food, played golf and enjoyed the spas at the state's premier luxury resort, the Homestead. The little junket cost taxpayers $300,000, according to CAGW. That some Republicans are co-conspirators in this outs them as political cross-dressers.� - Columnist Cal Thomas _____________________________________ WINNING �HOW TO� CAMPAIGN REPORTS Quick, down-and-dirty "how to" reports on specific aspects of political campaigns and grassroots organizations.� Written primarily for beginners with little or no experience, but certainly chocked full of tidbits and hot tips to benefit even the most seasoned political pro.� Generally 8-16 pages of A-Z, step-by-step instructions to gain more votes, more money and more volunteers for your political activities and/or campaign.
