“You will not teach or show that propagandist Al Gore video to my child, blaming our nation — the greatest nation ever to exist on this planet — for global warming,” he wrote in an e-mail to the Federal Way School Board.The computer consultant is an evangelical Christian who says he believes that a warming planet is “one of the signs” of Jesus Christ’s imminent return for Judgment Day.Hardison’s e-mail (along with complaints from a few other parents) kept the film from being shown to the class.”
Teacher Kay Walls, was allowed to show the film after receiving permission from parents to show “controversial” material as long as she was able to present a balanced perspective on global warming. However, Walls said she is struggling to find authoritative articles to counter the Gore documentary.
“The only thing I have found so far is an article in Newsweek called ‘The Cooling World,’ ” the teacher said.
After passing a sign for the boat launch and pier off Durham Drive, on Big Muskego Lake, the driver of the WDJT-TV (Channel 58—Milwaukee’s fourth rate news station) had taken the truck about 150 yards onto an ice- and snow-covered channel leading to the lake. They were hoping to shoot footage for a segment about snowmobile safety on ice.
The ice, get this—suddenly gave way.
She escaped unharmed, but the van sank in the 5-foot channel ruining about $250,000 worth of equipment.
“Simon Garrett, senior innovation manager for Guinness Red, said: ‘Whilst Guinness Red is still very much in the initial test phase, we expect it to be enjoyed by less regular drinkers of Guinness; people who love the brand but perhaps only drink a few pints a year on events such as St Patricks Day and when watching rugby.’”

“President Bush has quietly claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans’ mail without a judge’s warrant, the New York Daily News has learned.
The president asserted his new authority when he signed a postal reform bill into law on Dec. 20. Bush then issued a “signing statement” that declared his right to open people’s mail under emergency conditions.
That claim is contrary to existing law and contradicted the bill he had just signed, say experts who have reviewed it.
Bush’s move came during the winter congressional recess and a year after his secret domestic electronic eavesdropping program was first revealed. It caught Capitol Hill by surprise.
“Despite the president’s statement that he may be able to circumvent a basic privacy protection, the new postal law continues to prohibit the government from snooping into people’s mail without a warrant,” said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., the incoming House Government Reform Committee chairman, who co-sponsored the bill.
Experts said the new powers could be easily abused and used to vacuum up large amounts of mail.”
Domestic for ‘Road’ is $30 ‘Road’ to B.O. ignominy
By DADE HAYES
In Hollywood’s rebound year at the B.O., some films certainly fell a little short. But even the year’s biggest bombs surpassed the curiously titled Zyzzyxx Road,whose domestic cume reached just $30.
That’s no typo.
It’s the lowest tally for any pic since modern record-keeping began in the 1980s.
The vigilante thriller starring Tom Sizemore, Katherine Heigl and Leo Grillo bore the ominous tagline “Dead Ahead.” Like many on the dishonor roll of 60-plus titles cuming less than $1,000 over the past two decades, its stint in a single theater had more to do with contracts or four-wall rentals than mass audience desertion. Unheralded, it opened to $20 in February in Dallas, tacking on an additional 10-spot (repeat biz?) before slinking off to the video shelf.
Lest anyone assume the B.O. basement is reserved for unrated indie fare bound for pay-per-view, it’s worth noting a PG-13 Warner Bros. release ranks as the fifth-lowest grosser. Trojan War, a teen comedy starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and Will Friedel (with bonus turns by Lee Majors and Anthony Michael Hall), collected $309 in its entire 1997 run. The director? George Huang, best known for Swimming With Sharks.
