  • Clinton Scandals Compiled by Jerry Winkel
    Clinton Scandals Compiled by Jerry Winkel The following is a compilation, which is by no means exhaustive, of news excerpts from the last few years. Regardless of if you think the various charges against the Clinton’s are false or if you think they are politically motivated, you will certainly see a pattern. You will see patterns of denial, alleged behavior, misinformation and poor judgment. Absurd comments are marked in bold and the comments of the compiler are in italics. This is still a draft since is needs more editing. I also didn’t capture all the references (major oops). But if you dislike the Clinton’s it is a good resource. One article I would love to include but could not find was about Al Gore admitting that he broke the law in campaign financing but was proud of it because he had to do whatever it took to prevent the Republican Congress from hurting America. Great! If you think your cause is the most important, it is ok to break the law. To Bill - Thanks for the Memories As I was making my daily journey to the Post Office the other day, I patiently waited for a car to vacate a parking space near the door. As the rear of the vehicle came toward me, I noticed a bumper sticker which read, in big, bold letters, "THANK ME. I VOTED CLINTON-GORE." Of course, the bumper sticker was printed in response to an earlier sticker which adorned some automobiles some six years ago. Back then, as Presidents Bill and Hillary were attempting to nationalize health care and play havoc with the discipline and fiber of the military, ADon't Blame Me.

  • A's News Clips, Monday November 28, 2011 A's Hire Former Giants
    A’s News Clips, Monday November 28, 2011 A's hire former Giants outfielder Chili Davis as hitting coach By Carl Steward, Oakland Tribune The A's completed their 2012 coaching staff with the hiring of former switch-hitting Giants outfielder Chili Davis as their hitting coach Saturday. It will be the first major league coaching job for Davis, who played 19 seasons with five major league teams, including his first seven with the Giants from 1981-87. But according to Davis, he has been on the radar of A's general manager Billy Beane and manager Bob Melvin for a while. He said Beane contacted him as long as five years ago about possibly working for Oakland and that Melvin was interested in employing him in his two prior managerial stints. Melvin and Davis were teammates with the Giants in 1986-87. "I know (Melvin's) tried to hire me twice, once with the Seattle Mariners, which was a job I was looking forward to at that time but didn't get it, and then again with the Arizona Diamondbacks," he said. "So I guess the third time's the charm. It all comes back around to two people who I know really wanted me with them and the opportunity finally came. To me, it's perfect timing right now." Davis, 51, said he is excited about returning to the Bay Area, and he isn't coming in as a novice. In 2011, he was the hitting coach for Boston's Triple-A affiliate in Pawtucket, R.I., and he was an instructional league hitting coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2010.

  • More Than Two Million American Men and Their
    More than two million American men and their families are currently battling prostate cancer and three million more men will be compelled to join the battle in the coming decade. Our goal is to keep these families together. We are in a race against time. Prostate CancerKeeping Foundation Families | TogetherAnnual Report 2005 Headline to go here every time. More than 3 years ago, the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) was founded with a single mission: to harness resources – both financial and human – to find better treatments and a cure for recurrent prostate cancer, a cancer that was little known at the time. Back then, who knew that prostate cancer would become the most common non-skin cancer in America? Who knew that prostate cancer would strike one in six men? Who knew that a man would be one-third more likely to develop prostate cancer than a woman is to develop breast cancer? Since then, the PCF has raised more than $260 million for prostate cancer research with the help of tens of thousands of generous supporters and corporate partners. We have funded hundreds of researchers in the United States and throughout the world in an effort to keep families together, longer. Despite the great progress, there is still much to do. In 2005, prostate cancer took the lives of more than 30,000 fathers, brothers, uncles and husbands. One of those men was Mickey Tarnopol, a stalwart supporter and a member of our Board of Directors for 0 years. He was a beloved husband, father and grandfather. It is with him in mind, along with the more than two million American men and their families currently battling this disease, that we move aggressively toward fulfilling our mission.
