Congressman accused of sending 'sick' emails to 16 year old boy
Larry Womack
Published: Thursday September 28, 2006
A Congressman has been accused of sending questionable emails to a sixteen-year old Capitol page, RAW STORY has learned.
Reports circulated on the Internet earlier this week, indicating that in private emails, Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) had requested photographs of the page, asked what he wanted for his birthday, and inquired about his age. The emails may be viewed below.
A subsequent investigation by RAW STORY discovered that the addresses on the emails were indeed those of Foley and a now-seventeen year old boy, who forwarded them to a fellow staffer. There is no overtly sexual communication in Foley's emails, and the age of consent in Washington, DC is sixteen.
Our investigation also uncovered a MySpace profile attached to the congressman's personal address, containing very little information.
Foley's office has told ABC News that it is their policy to keep pictures of former interns so that they could be remembered by anyone looking to recommend one. However, ABC also reports that the page did not work in Foley's office.
RAW STORY spoke with several sources, who confirmed that they felt Foley was unusually friendly with young Hill pages, but failed to uncover anything of a more serious nature.
Foley's office contends that the Congressman is only guilty of being overly-friendly and has categorized the story as part of an opponent's "smear campaign."
Foley has long marketed himself as a protector of children from sexual predation. In 2003, he became an outspoken critic of a summer nudist camp for children. An amendment by Foley to change federal sex offender laws became part of the Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act of 2006.

b4 blog time
truth between
fact and fiction

the elevator with LK
leaving my eye doctor today
the elevator opens, full of people
i hear another ding
i'll wait i say noticing
the other elevator
is going up
not down
i get on the crowded elevator
look to my left and see him
instinctually i say 'hi lar'
'how are you' he responds
as if he remembers me
knows me
all very cool
calm, collected
we continue the ride down
2 the bottom of the cnn building
together all of us
him with his possy
and me alone
they're talking numbers
ratings or cd sales
i'm not listening all that closely
all i picked up from the 10 floor drop
was he being pissed about something
something that clay did
gaykin i think to myself
always up 2 no good
the elevator stops...floor 3
CNN's broadcast studios
the possy begins to depart
all of a sudden he stumbles
i wouldn't say he was about to
well hell yes i'll say it
he was about to bite it
big time...lets face it
the cat's old
i reach out my hand
again instinct
4 him 2 grab
saving this man
known 2 all
4 being a news staple
from falling on his face
outside his own studio
he mumbles something
as i help him up
the doors close
and proceed to my car
i'm unlocking the doors
beep sounds my new fancy ride
i know a car's too much 4 me
when i can't understand the beeps it makes
let alone anything else
i digress
hey you i hear someone screaming
running in my direction
i freak slightly as i do
along in a parking garage
being screamed at and chased
the lady looks familiar
barely my age if that
young, naive, and in a hurry
i stop and turn to her
'what's up' i respond
he wants to thank me
he wants to invite me 2 the taping
on a show notorious for closed sets
no thanks i instantly answer
i've got 2 be somewhere
she is shocked, this girl still catching her breath
like i just told her to go fuck her mother or something
'let me get your information...he'll want it'
why the hell would he need my contact info
i thought to myself as wrote on her back
a contact, a number, an address, and my private email
almost two months later i've forgotten it all
i get a call something's at the office 4 me
a case of dom, flowers have just arrived
are at his office with my name on them
guess who they were from
guess i won't make so much fun
of the old battle ax after all

Authorities made a drug bust after getting a lead at an unlikely place, a McDonald's restaurant.
Members of Saginaw Safe Streets and Gang Task Force uncovered packaged heroin stashed in the McDonald's men's restroom Thursday evening after they saw suspicious drug activity in the restaurant's parking lot.
Authorities say the discovery led police to execute search warrants at two addresses.
It's at those addresses where police recovered 30 to 40 packages of heroin, cocaine, marijuana and prescription medicines.
Police say the heroin alone could have a street value as high as $50,000. Officers arrested a 50-year-old Saginaw man.

chevron
today was a boring day
errands and such
no excitement planed
so i'm at my local chevron
filling my new car up
for the first time
that was enuf excitement 4 me
then homeless man walks up
shoping cart in tow
this man is disholved 2 say the least
off meds god can only imagine
talking to himself, mumbling
going thru the garbage
normal LA life
then the gas employee guy comes out
and starts taking smack with this guy
for some random reason
i still dont know
mr homeless
feeling engaged
i'm sure
jumps into the fray
another employee comes out
and joins in the verbal dispute
they are basically going back and forth
trying to intimidate the other party
seems pointless 2 me
the gas station boy
that's what i'll call him
not only because he was a kid
but because he acted like a child
so the gas station boy threatens the man
that if he doesn't get lost,
the boy's gona get his gun from his car
well he called it his 'piece'
and didn't say it in such a mild manner
i'm just standing there
pumping my gas
minding my buisness
while this all goes down
in front of my car
at 1:30pm less than a mile
from my home
the guy ended up leaving
the employees went back 2 work
i passed on going inside
2 buy some water
and think i'm going 2
have to fine a new gas station soon...
well i'm off to workout
with the personal trainer
still can't wipe that scene
out of my mind
maybe sweat will do it

therapy
I got there early today
Had a few minutes 2 blog
She opens the door frazzled
Look whose on time, I joke
Actually early...really early, she replies
No ur way late I thought...
Role reversal is strange!
She leads me back 2 her office
Can I have a water I ask trying 2 break the ice
Its been 3 weeks since last time
And were both enevidbly uncomfortable
Its our routine
After a break
Relationships are wierd!
You sound sick she replied
I think I am I said
She went to get me the water
Tea she offered
No thanks
Echinesia, zircam, ricola, the list went on
Just the water I replied
I love her
My frazzled shrink
Puts me right back into place
From chaous 2 calm
Odd, yes.
I got a preview dvd
4 nip/tuck this season
Never seen the show
Years in now I have this dvd
I went out and bought all past season dvd box sets
Half way thru year 2
Love the show
Can't get enough
But having to watch them all
In order
God please don't say I have ocd!
The Hand Wave
Is the hand wave not a universal mute signal
For gratitude...to say thank you...simple, easy
I'm loving driving again
Love love LA all over again
And triple love the new car!
I've been cruisin' all over this town
Seeing people I have put off 4 way 2 long
Enjoying the new ride
And the freedom that comes with
Mobility.
I've become an overly polite driver
Stopping, pausing, letting others break laws
I assume they're in a hurry
I all the time in the world
So I go out of my way
And let them go.
No body waves thank you any more
People look at me strangly
When I go out of my way
2 let them know I appreciate something
Behind the limo tint of my new ride.
God love L A

Ann Richards 9/1/33-9/13/06
Ann Richards on How to Be a Good Republican:
1. You have to believe that the nation’s current 8-year prosperity was due to the work of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, but yesterday’s gasoline prices are all Clinton’s fault.
2. You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own.
3. You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time.
4. You have to believe that AIDS victims deserve their disease, but smokers with lung cancer and overweight individuals with heart disease don’t deserve theirs.
5. You have to appreciate the power rush that comes with sporting a gun.
6. You have to believe…everything Rush Limbaugh says.
7. You have to believe that the agricultural, restaurant, housing and hotel industries can survive without immigrant labor.
8. You have to believe God hates homosexuality, but loves the death penalty.
9. You have to believe society is color-blind and growing up black in America doesn’t diminish your opportunities, but you still won’t vote for Alan Keyes.
10. You have to believe that pollution is OK as long as it makes a profit.
11. You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don’t pray to Allah or Buddha.
12. You have to believe Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde were really faithful husbands.
13. You have to believe speaking a few Spanish phrases makes you instantly popular in the barrio.
14. You have to believe that only your own teenagers are still virgins.
15. You have to be against government interference in business, until your oil company, corporation or Savings and Loan is about to go broke and you beg for a government bail out.
16. You love Jesus and Jesus loves you and, by the way, Jesus shares your hatred for AIDS victims, homosexuals, and President Clinton.
17. You have to believe government has nothing to do with providing police protection, national defense, and building roads.
18. You have to believe a poor, minority student with a disciplinary history and failing grades will be admitted into an elite private school with a $1,000 voucher.

"home"
I just got back from a friends funeral
In Dallas...still wondering why
Funny how home is where u live
Not where u grew up
Today a mother's pain was felt
As I hugged her...sorry 4 her loss
Her son tragically dead...at 25
His girl and boy lost both parents
In one day on a boat in north texas
I saw a lot of old faces -- memories flood
Some I wanted 2...some not so much
A teacher who I made a point to hug
A few too many times during our superficial chat
Its funny when u grow up and change
It changes others around you even more
Hope she realized how important she was 2 my life
A friend from high school leaves for training soon
In just a few short months he'll be in iraq
Fighting...risking his life...I ask myself again
Was all this worth it? So many of our own gone.
My dad's new house is awquardly silent
Emptiness that is so much more than just furniture
Walked mojo 2 the park...baseball...kids @ play
Suburbia...man I really don't miss it much.

I was wearing pajamas to work. Not shaving. Not bathing sometimes. Wearing sweats. Big clothes. Tons of layers. Trying my hardest to make myself unappealing. Making it all my fault they were hitting on me I guess."

5 boaters killed at Texoma
Collision casts a pall over lake's 'poker run'; 1 hospitalized in Dallas
12:00 AM CDT on Sunday, September 3, 2006
OKLAHOMA CITY – Five people were killed and another was injured Saturday when two jet boats collided on Lake Texoma, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.
The accident occurred about 12:30 p.m. near U.S. Highway 377 east of Willis in far southern Oklahoma.
The identities of the dead and injured were withheld until relatives could be notified. The survivor, a man, was at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, but his condition was not known.
Two married couples in one boat died, Trooper Kera Philippi said. A woman from the other boat was flown to an area hospital, where she died. A man from that boat was flown to Dallas.
A "poker run" event, in which participants get a playing card at five stops and win if they have the best poker hand, was going on at the lake, but Ms. Philippi said investigators don't know whether the victims were involved.
Owners and managers at several marinas said the accident did involve boats from the race.
"It was really a big deal across the lake," said Sherri Williams, owner of Catfish Bay Marina. "I've been on the lake 15 years, and I don't know of a mishap in a poker run.
"It's been depressing all across the lake today."
