Bill Clinton Inadvertently Tells
The Truth. Nobody Notices.
by Randy
Barker
Unique occurrences should not go unmentioned. It was Chicago. He was
speaking before the Daly Gang, praising Gore's head henchman in Florida.
It was then that the President blurted out an absolute truth. He said
"the only way the Republicans could win the election in Florida was
to stop the voting." Excuse me. Stop the what? "Voting"
instead of "vote recounting"? Finally, the truth. The head
Democrat admitting that what they were doing after Election Day was
manufacturing votes.
And apparently, they needed to. On Sunday, The Palm Beach Post published
the results of their recount of the 10,600 disputed votes in Miami-Dade
County, the first left-wing organization to do so. Gore thought he could
easily net 600 new votes from such as recount. The actual results showed
Bush gained 251 votes and Gore gained 245. Bush picked up 6 votes!
Amazing! But maybe not to Ivy Korman of the Miami-Dade Supervisor Of
Elections Office. Korman said, "In other words, Dade was a wash.
And knowing our county the way we do, that is why we didn't feel we
needed to do a manual recount."
Now, you would think, with all the brouhaha about that vote, that this
blockbuster news would be a huge headline on the front page of every
newspaper in America. Not
with the Liberal Press running things! The Palm Beach Post even
downplayed its own "scoop", putting the story on the front
page, but below the fold. But USA Today buried the bad news for
Democrats even deeper, giving the story only 8 column inches on page
14A. If there were ever proof that the press is biased, this is it.
Another thing not widely reported is the con game the Clintons are
pulling on American taxpayers. The Secret Service needed a building on
the premises of Clinton's Chappaqua home to use as a base. According to
a local New York newspaper, the Clintons are renting a shed to the U.S.
Government for the total amount of their mortgage payment. Terry
McCauliff, named the new head of the Democrat National Committee by
Clinton, made their down payment, and now we're paying the mortgage.
Very slick, Willy.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are the new Jim and Tammy Faye Baker. True
Trailer Trash, both couples with PTL (Pass The Loot) Clubs. Only the
Clinton's PTL is called the Clinton Legal Defense Fund, which like PTL
receives contributions from poor deluded poor people even though Hillary
is set to cash in on a $8 million book deal if she can find a ghost
writer who can stand her. Thank God the Pond Scum Presidency will soon
be over.
Any Guess What "Ginger" Is?
Some serious buzz got started last week about a mysterious new
invention, code named Ginger, that will be "bigger than the
internet" and/or a "totally new transportation device".
The inventor is a recognized genius and the project was bankrolled by
people like Steve Jobs. Is it a new type of scooter? A personal
hovercraft a la The Jetsons? I can hardly wait! How about you?

Where The "Smart Money" Is Flowing
Mutual fund managers, at least those running A-rated funds, should know
what they are doing. And what they were buying recently were medical and
financial stocks. This time there were only four portfolio stocks to
make the New Buys List in Investor's Business Daily. They were Carreker
(CANI-$31.13), SEI Investments (SEIC-$80.88), Federated Investors (FII-$27.50),
and the only true tech stock, Keithley Instruments (KEI-$46.88)
Interesting stocks to me were ASI Solutions (ASIS-$17), a human
resources outsourcing firm, EPIQ Systems (EPIQ-$20), a banking software
company, and Key Production (KP-$32), an oil and gas outfit.
What S&P 500 Stocks Are Making The Most Money?
Investor's Business Daily is continuing on its "list kick".
The big one last week listed the S&P 500 stocks that are beating 80%
of their peers when it comes to earnings. Portfolio stocks that made
this 206-stock list were # 24 Nortel (NT-$33.38), #30 Scientific Atlanta
(SFA-$50.94), #76 Convergys (CVG-$47) and # 87 Citigroup (C-$53.13).
Notice that only 206 of the 500 stocks made it? The number of stocks
with earnings growth over the last two quarters was even smaller. Only
44! They are:
Calpine (CPN) Siebel (SEBL) Sun (SUNW) Forest Labs (FRX)
Cisco (CSCO) Tellabs (TLAB) Solectron(SLR) Altera (ALTR)
Pulte (PHM) Scientific Atlanta (SFA) Linear Tech(LLTC) Xilinx (XLNX) AES
