Candidate Seeks Bruce Boycott
Aug 16, 2:30 PM EST
The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Upset with Bruce Springsteen's effort to oust President Bush from the White House, the New York Conservative Party's candidate for the U.S. Senate is launching a "Boycott the Boss" television commercial.
"He thinks making millions with a song-and-dance routine allows him to tell you how to vote," Marilyn O'Grady says in the 30-second spot. "Here's my vote: Boycott the Boss. If you don't buy his politics, don't buy his music."
In a statement, O'Grady said Springsteen "has a right to say what he thinks, but we have Now that he's moved onto the political stage to bash my president, it is entirely fair to respond."
Springsteen was among more than 20 prominent musicians who announced on Aug. 4 that they would hold a series of anti-Bush fund-raising concerts under the "Vote for Change" banner in 28 cities in October.
"I feel this is one of the most critical elections in my lifetime," Springsteen told The Associated Press at the time.
Springsteen's "No Surrender" has become an anthem for Democratic Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign.
A spokesman for O'Grady, Howard Lim, would not say how much the Long Island's ophthalmologist's campaign was spending on the commercial, in which she says, "I stand with President Bush and it's time to tame the liberal elite."
A spokeswoman for Springsteen did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday.
O'Grady, a conservative Republican, launched her campaign after Republican Gov. George Pataki and the state GOP's leadership handed the party's Senate nomination to Howard Mills, a little-known legislator who supports abortion rights and civil unions for gays. Polls have shown Schumer running far ahead of both O'Grady and Mills. |

Schumer has over $25Mil so no one is going to take him down. And I haven't even seen an ad yet. As far boycotting the Boss, he's always been a bit of a lefty. I've bought everything he's put out lately & will in the future if it's good enough. Unless they produce a DVD of this tour & the profits go to some lunatic cause. |

I will just buy stuff used from now on. He is not an absolute favorite or anything so I dont have to make the hard choice of a lifetime boycott or anything like that. |

Amazing. "Boycott" someone for encouraging people to vote for the other guy in a free election in a democracy.
What a wanker.
And Bruce a 'leftie' supporter? Please. The notion of any presidential candidate in a conservative country like the US being what any other society could describe as left-wing is laughable.

Explorers Find Ancient City in Remote Peru Jungle
Tue Aug 17, 7:28 PM ET Add Science - Reuters to My Yahoo!
By Marco Aquino
LIMA, Peru (Reuters) - An ancient walled city complex inhabited some 1,300 years ago by a culture later conquered by the Incas has been discovered deep in Peru's Amazon jungle, explorers said on Tuesday.
New PC? No Problem!
Get old files onto a new PC. Plus, how to buy a new computer, and ditch your old one.
U.S. and Peruvian explorers uncovered the city, which may have been home to up to 10,000 people, after a month trekking in Peru's northern rain forest and following up on years of investigation about a possible lost metropolis in the region.
The stone city, made up of five citadels at 9,186 feet above sea level, stretches over around 39 square miles and contains walls covered in carvings and figure paintings, exploration leader Sean Savoy told Reuters.
"It is a tremendous city ... containing areas with stone etchings and 10-meter (33-foot) high walls," said Savoy, who had to hack through trees and thick foliage to finally reach the site on Aug. 15.
Covered in matted tree branches and interspersed with lakes and waterfalls, the settlement sites also contain well-preserved graveyards with mummies with teeth "in almost perfect condition," Savoy said.
Replete with stone agricultural terraces and water canals, the city complex is thought to have been home to the little-known Chachapoyas culture.
According to early accounts by Spanish conquistadors who arrived in Peru in the early 1500s, the Chachapoyas were a fair-skinned warrior tribe famous for their tall stature. Today they are known for the giant burial coffins sculpted into human figures found in the northern jungle region.
Savoy said his team also found an Inca settlement within the city complex that could prove theories the Chachapoyas were conquered by the Incas, who ruled an area stretching from Ecuador to northern Chile between 1300 and 1500.
Savoy, a Peruvian-American, accompanied on the expedition by his U.S. father, Gene Savoy, named the site Gran Saposoa after the nearby village Saposoa and his team has already mapped the area with preliminary drawings.
The discovery is the third notable ruin Gene Savoy has helped uncover in Peru. In 1964, Savoy found the site of the Incas' last refuge in the Cuzco region of southern Peru. A year later he took part in the discovery of the sacred city of Gran Pajaten in northern Peru.
American Hiram Bingham made Peru's most famous archeological discovery -- the fabled Inca ruins of Machu Picchu near Cuzco -- in 1911. Machu Picchu today attracts almost half a million tourists every year and is South America's best known archeological site.
