'This Is Nuts,' Kyl Says of Leak



A massive government program to track billions
of domestic telephone calls tumbled into the
open yesterday, triggering an outcry from members
of Congress and prompting President Bush to offer
new assurances to the American people about the aims
and scope of the surveillance effort.

Friedman submits signatures for ballot
He's the second independent filer in governor's race



AUSTIN - Satirical musician and novelist Kinky Friedman gave state election officials 169,574 signatures Thursday in an effort to qualify for the November ballot as an independent candidate for governor.

"To the young people helping us, fix bayonets now because the new Texas revolution is coming," Friedman told about 50 supporters before turning his petitions in to Texas
Secretary of State Roger Williams for verification. Friedman needs 45,540 valid signatures to get on the ballot.

Friedman became the second major independent candidate
to file a ballot-access petition this week. Comptroller
Carole Keeton Strayhorn filed 223,000 signatures on
Tuesday as an independent candidate for governor.

If certified, Friedman and Strayhorn will join Democrat
Chris Bell and Libertarian James Werner in challenging the
re-election of Gov. Rick Perry, the Republican nominee.

Strayhorn's campaign has tried to portray her as more legitimate than Friedman. Her aides said she collected signatures at schools while claiming Friedman got
his from rowdy crowds at music halls.

"All I can say is, thank God for bars and dance halls," Friedman told his supporters as they unloaded 11
legal boxes of petitions from the "Guv Bug," a pink
trailer topped with Friedman's trademark black
cowboy hat.

BOSTON -- A plane carrying U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy from western Massachusetts to his home on the coast was struck by lightning Saturday and had to be diverted to New Haven, Conn., his spokeswoman said.

The eight-seat Cessna Citation 550 plane lost all electrical power, including communications, and the pilot had to fly the plane manually, according to spokeswoman Melissa Wagoner. No one was hurt.

The Democrat had just delivered the commencement address at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams and was on his way to his Cape Cod home when the plane was struck around 4 p.m., she said.

The jet landed safely at New Haven at 4:11 p.m., said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Murray. A report was filed with the agency, which will look into the incident, she said.

Kennedy planned to stay in Connecticut overnight because he was scheduled to return to western Massachusetts on Sunday to deliver a commencement address at Springfield College, Wagoner said.
