In case you were wondering, President Kennedy was shot by Oliver
Stone, in a boldly foresightful career move.  I mean, look at it:
Who's profited from the assassination?  Oswald?  The CIA?  The Cubans?
The Mob?  Only Oliver Stone.  And it's not just JFK (the movie),
either.  Without the assassination, there would have been no Vietnam
War to film in Platoon, no Reagan Era M&A boom to film in Wall Street,
no counter-culture to film in The Doors.

Some of it is sort of true.  I can't site references, but I heard a report
on this on National Public Radio a few months ago.

Apparently in some places some species of frogs are disappearing.  Nothing
as cataclysmic as your post suggests.

The cause is not known - amphibians are considered an indicator species, but
what their decline indicates is not yet known.

I read that amphibians are diappearing all over the planet.
They will be extinct within ten years.

Amphibians are good indicators of the 'health' of the ecosystem.
It's only a matter of time before the other animals are affected:

An associate has been doing research for a report on Abraham Lincoln for his 
African American Studies class.  He mentioned over lunch yesterday that he
had heard a story that, as a child, Abe had an African woman as a nanny who 
raised him.  And that this woman was _really_ his natural mother!

I grew up in Illinois and my first reaction was one of ethnocentric 
disbelief:  Gee wiz, I didn't think they had room for a nanny in a one room 
log cabin!

But then I thought I'd ask the net:
Have you ever heard of this?  Is it true?  Was Mr. Lincoln of "mixed" racial

Me too!! First they get tangled in your net, and as you try and get them out
you club them a few times. Boy they put up one hell of a fight. Then when you 
finally get them free, you throw them over by the baby harp seals you just
"picked up" up the coast a ways. Then you plug their blowhole with the spotted
owl that you had stuffed last week!

one the savior of the human race, while the other becomes lunch?

You heard it here first :-)  Dan Quayle will take himself out of the
running before Sept 30th.  While he and Georgie-boy have steadfastly denied
a "dump Danny" campaign, Quayle is just too much of a liability.
Especially if he has to debate Al Gore.

Quayle left this option open when, on Larry King, he said (paraphrased):
"If I thought I was a liability to the Bush ticket, I would withdraw
myself)".  Granted, everyone will believe that Bush had him ousted
regardless of what Danny says, but that "scandal" will hurt Bush less
than Quayle's unpopularity.   Al Gore as president is survivable; Quayle as
president is apocalyptic.

The BigBopper is correct in his assessment of Danny's value to the
Democrats.  That's why the Repubs want him gone.  Kemp appears to be
centrist enough to woo the Reagan Democrats, and could handle Gore in a
debate.  We shall see...

I'll ventuire a theory.  

Like many people who are not politicians, H. Ross probably thought that 
any fool could do a better job than the fools we have doing it now.  I think
H. Ross thought that the press and the people would rally aound him since
it was _obvious_ that he was a better person than any politician could
be.

I don't think he had a clue about how hard-ball politics is today, and
I think he wimped out.  

It was clear that the NY Times, at least, had made it a 1992 political
goal to dig up info on Perot (and I agree with their doing so), and given 
how paranoid Perot was I don't think he wanted tom face this.

I heard an interview with Perot (telephone conversation, more than
planned interview) when NPR person for All Things Considered called
him up at home, and asked him about the deal with the tax break because
of his attempt to save the Wall St. brokerage firm.  Perot's
response, after saying that he had never heard of ATC, was to say that
the interviewer (I forget if it was Totenberg or Roberts) must have owed
someone a favor and now they've paid the person back, implying that the only
reason All Things Considered was asking about whether he tried to get a
multi-million tax break put through in the dark hours of the morning
was because they owed someone a favor.  Like it wasn't a reasonable question
to ask Perot, for some reason.

The guy didn't have a clue what American politics was all about, and when he 
caught his first glimpse, he chickened out.
