Fifty-three years ago, when newly elected Dwight Eisenhower moved into the White House, America's southern frontier was as porous as a spaghetti sieve. As many as 3 million illegal migrants had walked and waded northward over a period of several years for jobs in California, Arizona, Texas, and points beyond.

President Eisenhower cut off this illegal traffic. He did it quickly and decisively with only 1,075 United States Border Patrol agents - less than one-tenth of today's force. The operation is still highly praised among veterans of the Border Patrol.

One of the most bizarre weather patterns known has been photographed at Saturn, where astronomers have spotted a huge, six-sided feature circling the north pole.

When two British boats with 15 Royal Navy personnel were seized by Iran on Friday, all eyes turned to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. The corps' naval force carried out the operation, which Britain says happened in Iraqi territorial waters, and its commanders hold the key to the crisis.

ATOMIC SIT-UP: Prankster holds a towel over victim's head and pulls forcefully in the opposite direction while victim tries to do sit up. Another friend puts their exposed buttocks by the knees of the person doing the sit-up. The prankster then lets go of the towel which forces the person doing the sit-up face first in other friend's butt.

Take judge Robert Dierker of the 22^nd Judicial Court of Missouri. When a sexual harassment case came before him, Dierker not only ruled against the claim, he also made an aside about the “cloud cuckooland of radical feminism.” Oh my! That remark brought down the PC police, forcing Dieker to explain whether he harbored any “preconceived bias against women.”

Eventually cleared of the charge, Dieker felt compelled to write the must-read book, “The Tyranny of Tolerance.” His account highlights the “schizoid femifascist philosophy – which oscillates between demanding equality with men and demanding better treatment than men.” With bracing candor Dieker reveals, “At its core, the femifascist agenda is based on hatred for men. Hatred is not too strong a word to apply to the most radical feminism.”

Ed Clark, the party's presidential candidate in 1980, received 921,000 votes, the highest ever, but Michael Badnarik, the 2004 nominee, garnered merely 397,000.
