Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.
But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.
DNA evidence backs up Matias Reyes' recent confession.
Further DNA evidence (from tests conducted last May) shows that hairs found on one of the suspects didn't come from the jogger.
The prosecutors themselves agree the case should be dismissed.
The original confessions were faulty in many details and were arrived at only after the police had taken the suspects to the scene of the crime.
The five teenagers who were convicted in this case have almost certainly committed other crimes. But they didn't commit this one and they deserve to be exonerated for it.
And Ann Coulter is an animal for suggesting otherwise.
Almost a century after an African-American memorial was first proposed for the U.S. capital, a grand vision for a museum encompassing black life in the United States is moving toward realization. Backed by $2 million in federal funds, a special commission appointed by Congress and President Bush started work this summer on a feasibility study for a national museum of African-American history and culture.
"I think it goes without saying that African-Americans have been the major backbone in building and developing America into the country that it is today," said Robert Wright, the chairman of the commission. "Unfortunately ... African-American history, like African-American life in America, was very suppressed. That needs to be told. I think that time has come."
The documents are among the most remarkable in the 2,200 pages of once-secret church files released yesterday: allegations that a priest had initiated sexual acts with teenagers preparing to become nuns by encouraging them to believe they were making love to Jesus Christ himself.
the Rev. Robert V. Meffan [73] admitted it was true, and said he still believes his sexual relationships with teenage girls were ''beautiful, spiritual'' experiences intended to bring young people closer to God.
But Meffan said he put limits on the physical nature of the relationships. He touched the girls' breasts, for example, but stopped short of intercourse to protect his celibacy vow. ''I don't think that was destroyed,'' Meffan said, ''because I always felt that to destroy celibacy you really had to have intercourse.''Reminds me of the Clinton defense .... "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"
"The White House has decided that several thousand political appointees across the federal government will be eligible for cash bonuses, abandoning a Clinton-era prohibition that grew out of questionable practices in the first Bush administration."The policy is causing rumblings of discontent from some career officials. They say the policy threatens to reward employees for political loyalty and could force career civil servants to compete against well-connected political appointees.
It’s that time of year again: ... New York Press has caught wind of a special letter, actually an audiotape, from Osama bin Laden sent to Santa via the Al Jazeera Network. Below please find the translated transcript:Excerpt:
If by some chance Allah decrees your soul to be true, I would like 200 virgins, an olive orchard, a five kilogram hunk of plutonium and the new Justin Timberlake CD. I have been nice this year. Any naughtiness was the result of American cultural and political imperialism for which I am simply repaying the favor on behalf of all Muslim people. Think of Rudolph and his shiny red nose, and all those who would make him an outcast for this. His red nose was the light that guided the way, as am I.
