Another Blow To Freedom
Supreme Court holds that you must provide your name to a cop, if asked. Even if you are doing nothing wrong. If giving your name would incriminate you--too bad. If you don't provide your name you can be charged with resisting and obstructing.

House panel approves 2nd Amendment -- for cops
Washington Times
"The House Judiciary Committee yesterday passed a bill that allows
[sic] active-duty and retired law-enforcement officers to carry
concealed weapons anywhere in the country. The Law Enforcement
Officers Safety Act heads to the floor of the House for a final vote
before going to the Senate, where a similar bill passed as an
amendment in March by a 91-8 vote. The bill permits 'qualified'
law-enforcement officers -- retired, off duty and outside their
jurisdiction -- to carry a concealed weapon in any state regardless
of the state's law. It passed on a 23-9 vote." (06/17/04)

Panda pregnant
Ananova [UK]
"A female panda named Hua Mei is pregnant after watching hours of
videos showing other pandas mating. ... In February, Hua Mei was
transferred from her birthplace at San Diego Zoo to a reserve in
China. But keepers were afraid she hadn't learned enough about mating
to do so with her new male friends. So Hua Mei, aged 4, was sent to
the Wolong Panda Protection Centre in south-western China for several
months of education lessons, which included watching hours of
panda fornicate. They hoped the videos might put her in a
lustful mood for one of many 'blind dates' she would encounter in
their efforts to get her pregnant -- and the videos paid off."

Report says Bush sought Vatican help
Boston Globe
"On his most recent overseas trip, President Bush reportedly asked
Vatican officials earlier this month to promote socially conservative
values in the United States more aggressively -- a further sign that
the Catholic Church and its members could play a key role in this
year's presidential campaign. Bush, whose reelection strategy hinges
in part on winning support from highly religious voters, told a
Vatican official that 'not all the American bishops are with me' on
social issues, according to an article in the independent journal
National Catholic Reporter. ... White House officials have not
confirmed the account. But advisers to Senator John F. Kerry, the
presumptive Democratic nominee and a Catholic, said Bush's effort to
recruit Vatican support is in keeping with his pattern of mixing
religion and politics." (06/14/04)

Smoke dope and keep out of trouble, fans advised
Ananova [UK]
"Portuguese police are letting England soccer fans smoke dope in the
hope it will keep them out of trouble. The authorities don't want
supporters to get fighting drunk on booze and are turning a blind-eye
to joint-puffing, hoping it will prevent brawling, reports the Daily
Star. Lisbon is said to be flooded with dealers selling 'soft drugs'
to supporters but police are deliberately keeping a low profile,
saying their priority is to make sure fans don't get too drunk.
Lisbon police spokesman Isabel Canelas said: 'We have to use common
sense. If people cause a problem through the use of drugs, of course
police will be expected to take action. But when this doesn't happen,
why should police make a fuss?'" (06/13/04)

IRS raid tactics ripped
Rocky Mountain News
"Rick Stanley can't wait to take on the IRS. 'I'm really looking
forward to being the one that brings them down,' he said Friday --
two days after Internal Revenue Service and other federal agents
raided his home and business, Stanley Fastener & Shop Supply on East
39th Avenue in northeast Denver. The 49-year-old gun rights champion
and income tax opponent, who ran unsuccessfully for a U.S. Senate
seat in 2002 as a Libertarian, said he was lured away to a Perkins
restaurant Wednesday morning by someone pretending to be a potential
customer. But when Stanley drove into the Perkins parking lot, he was
surrounded by law enforcement officers. They searched him and his car
and said they didn't want him present at the raid because they were
worried about 'officer safety,' Stanley said." (06/12/04)
