BILL CLINTON TASERED TO DEATH
Bill Clinton, a 6-foot emu on the run nearly a week, died Thursday after Carrboro police captured him outside a nursing home.
The cause of the flightless bird's death was in dispute: The manager of the Orange County Animal Shelter said police Tasered him. But a police spokesman said officers didn't use a Taser stun gun or tranquilizers. He said the bird injured himself as police tried to load him into a truck to take him to the shelter.

Ron Paul: First Bush Was Working Towards New World Order
"The first President Bush said the New World Order was in tune-- and that's what they were working for.
The U.N. is part of that government.
They're working right now very significantly towards a North American Union.
That's why there's a lot of people in Washington right now who don't care too much about our borders. They have a philosophical belief that national sovereignty is not important.
It's also the reason I've made the very strong suggestion the U.S. need not be in the U.N. for national security reasons."

After tornado, FEMA seizes firearms, turns away help
On Friday, May 4, an F5 tornado wiped the town of Greensburg, Kan., almost entirely off the map. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, along with the National Guard and local police from all over Kansas, then systematically kept out relief workers while they went house to house disarming the residents. As you pass by houses in Greensburg, you notice that some are spraypainted with how many weapons were recovered from the home.
They even turned away trucks from Wallmart that were sent there to help.
