The Untold Hillary Secret!

(Political Satire Today)




HILLARY STORY ONE:

"Ever since I played Monopoly as a child, all I've ever really wanted was to have my image immortalized on United States currency.

So, really, this is what it's all been about. It's not about trying to perfect a socialist agenda, not about the fun of harassing the Republican Party. It's not even about all the snickering I'll be doing during all those annoying filibusters.

It's always been for the buck, any buck, even a 3 dollar buck, is alright with me.


Make it happen, U.S. Treasury, and I'll go away forever! I promise.”

Ideas About Humanity’s Fate


Genetic-Morph
By Alan Boyle
Science editor
MSNBC
Updated: 3:59 p.m. ET May 31, 2005
Some were tickled to hear how experts rated the prospects for Unihumans (globally blended culture), Survivalistians (adapted for the post-apocalypse), Cyborgs (machine-human hybrids), Numans (genetically modified elite) and Astrans (optimized for interstellar colonization). The report was even adapted for newspaper publication in The Australian.

Atlas Front View
“The comparison shows a virtually perfect match with the constellation descriptions of Hipparchus. Dating to 129 B.C., Hipparchus' catalogue listed about 1,000 stars classified not only by location, but by magnitude, or brightness."
An extrodianry find, which now resides at National Archeological Museum in Naples, Italy.

Lost Ancient Star Catalogue Found


The Farnese Atlas
By Rossella Lorenzi, Discovery News
Jan. 19, 2005 — An ancient star catalogue lost for centuries has emerged from a Titan's shoulder, according to a study into a Roman statue of Atlas presented at the recent American Astronomical Society meeting in San Diego, Calif.

Known as the Farnese Atlas, the seven-foot-tall marble statue depicting the mythical Titan carrying the Earth on his shoulder is a Roman copy from the 2nd century A.D. of a Greek original dating to before the birth of Christ.
