DEMS GAIN IN MIDTERMS, HOUSE CONTROL UNCLEAR
November 4, 1998

WASHINGTON D.C. - The Republican party has, if yesterday's results are correct, been dealt a devastating blow. GOP campaign chair John Linder (R-GA) could not be reached for comment, but has said in the past that the party expected to gain at least five seats in the House. That has not happened. The Democrats currently look on track to gain as many as ten seats in the lower chamber, possibly giving them control. President Bill Clinton- who could become the first President in generations to gain a chamber of congress during his term- congratulated all of the newly-elected officeholders around the country in a press conference at the White House earlier this morning.

CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP GATHERS AT THE WHITE HOUSE
November 6, 1998

WASHINGTON D.C. - President Bill Clinton has hosted the leadership of both parties in congress at the White House today, the administration confirmed. Analysts say it's likely the President is facilitating a power-sharing agreement after Tuesday's split result. It's unknown what a possible agreement would look like, although it's expected a non-Gingrich Republican will end up becoming speaker in a nod to the Republican's status as the largest party.

GINGRICH: GOP CONSIDERING LAME DUCK IMPEACHMENT
November 14, 1998

ATLANTA, GA - In a leaked audio recording obtained by the Journal-Constitution, Newt Gingrich has reportedly considered an impeachment of Bill Clinton during the last few months of his control in Washington. Gingrich, who is expected to be ousted as Speaker in January, has faced condemnation from the Democrats, and relative silence from Republicans. President Clinton said he 'wasn't concerned' over the matter.

OPPOSITION CANDIDATE WINS SHOCK VICTORY IN BURKINA FASO
November 15, 1998

OUAGADOUGOU - In a result shocking to most observers, opposition leader Ram Ouédraogo has emerged victorious in that country's presidential election. Ouédraogo won approximately 47.2% of the vote to incumbent President Blaise Compaoré's 46.0%. Despite the victory, observers have noted the heavy rigging of the election in Compaoré's favor, and suggest Ouédraogo has won closer to 60% of the vote. President Clinton congratulated Ouédraogo on his victory, who will assume office on December 20.

VICE PRESIDENT GORE REPORTEDLY FORMING CAMPAIGN TEAM
November 20, 1998

WASHINGTON D.C. - Vice President Al Gore has reportedly been quietly contacting various high-profile political operatives about a prospective 2000 campaign, the AP has learned. The Vice President, who is the undisputed frontrunner for the Democratic nomination- and, with Clinton's approval ratings, the Presidency itself- has refused to comment.

REPUBLICANS BEGIN IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS
November 30, 1998

NEW YORK, NY - In a move surprising to few, House Republicans have begun the process of impeaching President Bill Clinton. Hearings are being chaired by Representative Tom DeLay, one of the biggest supporters of impeachment. Most Republicans have supported the move, after Gingrich announced his refusal to consider a mere congressional censure. Clinton, who per Gallup has an approval rating of 68%, has again said he 'isn't concerned' over the matter.

TREASURY REPORTEDLY PREPARING 'SOFT LANDING' APPROACH FOR INCOMING RECESSION
December 3, 1998

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - According to leaked reports, top financial experts in the administration (including Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin) are taking early action to ensure any recession is minimal. This comes as economists worry about a Japan-style collapse of the economy. It is unknown what measures are being considered.

HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE APPROVES ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
December 9, 1998

WASHINGTON D.C. - The House Judiciary Committee has voted 22-17 to approve Articles of Impeachment against Bill Clinton. The first addresses abuse of power while the second addresses obstruction of justice. It's expected to be put to a full floor vote sometime in the next few days, as Speaker Gingrich runs out of time. On the topic of a new speaker, it is still unclear who will be selected, even as new members gather in Washington for orientation.

HOUSE VOTES 232-195 TO IMPEACH CLINTON
December 11, 1998

WASHINGTON D.C. - Earlier today, the House of Representatives voted by a solid margin to make Bill Clinton the first President since Andrew Johnson to be impeached. Clinton will face trial before the Senate, where he is expected to be acquitted. Several Democrats and even a few Republicans brought up Gingrich's refusal to hold a simple censure vote, and state the low odds of the Senate convicting him as their reasoning. President Clinton, whose job approvals have surged to 76% in a recent Gallup poll, has named White House Counsel Chuck Ruff and Deputy Counsel Cheryl Mills as the lawyers to run his defense team.

'ABSOLUTE SLAUGHTER' EXPERTS REACT TO CLINTON TRIAL
December 14, 1998

WASHINGTON D.C. - The arguments have concluded in Bill Clinton's impeachment trial, and it's the opinion of nearly all experts we asked- Democrat and Republican- that it was a total annihilation. Whatever benefit the GOP hoped to reap from the trial is clearly gone, as Ruff and Mills skillfully laid out Clinton's legal defense. Snap polls by Gallup show Clinton's approval rating has climbed to a record high 78%.

MIKE CASTLE TO BE NEXT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
December 19, 1998

DOVER, DE - In an agreement no doubt influenced by the perceived backfiring of the Clinton impeachment, Democrats and moderate Republicans have agreed on a new speaker. Mike Castle- our representative- has been chosen over more conservative but still mainstream voices like Jim Leach and John Kasich to take control of the chamber next month. Castle will have his work cut out for him, as the chamber only has a one-seat Republican majority. The agreement- reportedly brokered by Vice President Gore- will forge a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers- leaving out both the left and right- to elect the new speaker.

CLINTON MEETS WITH CASTLE, OTHERS AT CAMP DAVID
December 20, 1998

BALTIMORE, MD - Following congress's adjournment for the year, President Clinton met with Speaker-designate Castle, Vice President Gore and other leadership at Camp David. Topics brought up in the discussion include the environment, education reform, and healthcare reform. The White House is not likely to push anything too radical through the GOP-controlled congress, although experts see subsidies for children's health care or some form of technology education expansion as a possibility.

NEW CONGRESS SWORN IN, CASTLE ELECTED SPEAKER
January 3, 1999

WASHINGTON D.C. - As the constitution mandates, all members of congress elected in November have been sworn in. The House of Representatives begins the year with a narrow divide of 218 Republicans to 217 Democrats, while the Senate has a more comfortable GOP majority of 53-47. Despite the closeness, the House easily elected moderate Republican Mike Castle (R-DE) to the speakership, with roughly half of Republicans and a quarter of Democrats voting for other candidates.

KAZAKH DICTATOR WINS UNDERWHELMING VICTORY
January 5, 1999

ASTANA - Despite blatant voter suppression, President Nursultan Nazarbayev has underperformed expectations in yesterday's elections. As of this morning, Nazarbayev has won approximately 68.4%, while Communist Party candidate Serikbolsyn Abdildin has received nearly 29.7% of the vote. Observers from the UN and from the Carter Center have both decried the results as unfair, and protests throughout the country look to continue for the near future. The White House- along with other democratic leaders- has remained silent, other than expressing vague concerns over 'election integrity'.

PRESIDENT CLINTON SIGNS FIRST BILL OF NEW CONGRESS
January 11, 1999

WASHINGTON D.C. - President Bill Clinton has signed the first piece of legislation from the new congress, the AP has learned. At a ceremony in the Rose Garden, President Clinton signed the Congo Endangered Species Act into law. The bill, which allocates $650 Million to Rwanda in order to take in thousands of endangered animals hurt by the Congolese Civil War, has been welcomed by President Bizimungu, who pointed to the millions in humanitarian aid added to the legislation.

CLINTON JOB APPROVAL SHOWING NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN
January 19, 1999

SEATTLE, WA - As the President approaches a full six years in office, his position has never been stronger. Per Gallup polling, President Clinton is holding steady at a 71% approval rating, only down a few points from the aftermath of the impeachment trial. This has caused a noticeable lack of candidacy declarations from Republicans, as many have decided to wait until 2004 for when they feel they have a better chance. As a case-in-point, Texas Governor George W. Bush- son of the former President and recently re-elected- has announced that he will not run for the White House in 2000.

NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN ON HEALTH CARE REFORM
January 30, 1999

WASHINGTON D.C. - The White House has again hosted moderate Republicans in meetings about health care reform. In a joint press conference in the afternoon, President Clinton, Speaker Castle, and Senator Bill Frist- considered a top GOP expert on the issue- all said the meetings were 'productive' and that all agreed that something had to be done, particularly for uninsured children. Frist denied that they were only doing this due to the President's high job approvals (70%), stating that "we lost last year because we didn't run on ideas. We need to accomplish something for the American people".

PRESIDENT SIGNS BORDER SECURITY BILL
February 4, 1999

EL PASO, TX - In a bipartisan move, President Bill Clinton has signed the Border Security Act into law. The bill, which provides for the construction of a wall on the Mexican-US border, is indicative of the administration's new 'soft on the addicts, hard on the dealers' policy. The legislation also contains provisions to hire more immigration judges, along with increased benefits for foreign students to stay in the country after graduation.

AIR FORCE ONE TAKES OFF FOR MIDDLE EAST
February 7, 1999

AMMAN - President Bill Clinton and the First Lady have left for their first foreign trip of the year, going on a quick jaunt to the middle east. The President will begin the trip here in Jordan for King Hussein's funeral, before heading to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He is also expected to converse with other heads of state at the funeral and subsequent days. He will return back to the United States on the 11th.

PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS HELD IN NEWFOUNDLAND
February 9, 1999

ST. JOHNS - Premier Brian Tobin's Liberals received a setback last night, as the party was reduced to 28 seats, while the Progressive Conservatives surged to 18 and the NDP held at 2 seats. The party still holds a majority, although due to a quirk in the first-past-the-post system lost the popular vote by about one-and-a-half percent.

CLINTON MEETS WITH ZEDILLO IN YUCATAN
February 14, 1999
MERIDA - Earlier today President Clinton met with Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo as part of a state visit. The two talked about several issues, including immigration and NAFTA. Both expressed openness to tweaking the trade deal somewhat, while Clinton also answered questions on domestic issues. This comes as both presidents enter the latter parts of their time in office, with Clinton leaving in January of 2001 and Zedillo in December of 2000.

SPEAKER GOES ON MEET THE PRESS
February 21, 1999

DOVER, DE - Tim Russert was joined on Meet The Press today by Mike Castle, the Speaker of the House. Castle answered questions regarding his political relationship with Bill Clinton, foreign policy, and other agenda items. The broadcast was notable for when Castle endorsed the idea of increasing federal education funding, stating that "we need to prepare our kids for the future" and that "investments in education are more than returned". Castle, who was elected Speaker in a deal with Democrats, is one of the most moderate members of the House Republican Caucus.

POTENTIAL GORE CAMPAIGN TO 'HEAVILY FEATURE' CLINTON ACCOMPLISHMENTS
February 28, 1999

WASHINGTON D.C. - After concerns over the matter, insiders report that Vice President Gore has come around to the idea of running as 'a third Clinton term without the scandal'. A Gore campaign is perhaps the most open secret in Washington, as despite a lack of formal filings all in the Clinton White House we talked to agreed the two-term VP was extremely likely to launch a campaign.

NATIONAL EDUCATION ACT INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE
March 3, 1999

WASHINGTON D.C. - A new education bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. George Miller (D-CA), the only Democrat to chair a committee (Education & Labor). The bill, which reportedly has the backing of the White House and Speaker Castle, would be the largest investment in education on the federal government's behalf in well over a decade, and would be a key liberal accomplishment for a presidency noted for it's relative centrism. The bill contains:

-Provisions for computers in every classroom by the end of 2000 ($1.0 Billion one-time)
-Increase in school improvement programs from $2.2 to $3.0 Billion per year ($0.8 Billion)
-Implement 'stealth testing' to measure student performance ($1.4 Billion)
-Doubling of funding for Native American education from $100 Million to $200 Million ($0.1 Billion)
-Implementation of a healthy National School Lunch Program, providing free lunches to all students ($10.0 Billion)

The total cost of the legislation is roughly $12.5 Billion per year, a price tag that mostly comes from the proposed universal school lunch program. Rep. Miller has stated that the program 'will not be pinching pennies' and says it will provide high-quality, healthy meals for students. Representative Nancy Johnson (R-CT) has stated that the program will offer a great return on investment due to how it will help poor children focus on schooling more and 'give families some breathing room'.

Gore is currently the favorite for the Presidency.

March 30, 1999

The 'MIF' will operate as a sovereign wealth fund, and will begin operations with an endowment of $7 Billion. Governor Harshbarger stated that the interest and revenue earned from this venture will allow increased funding for education and public services in the state. Of the initial endowment, $1.5 Billion will come from the state's budget surplus; another $1.0 Billion will come from settlements the state received from polluters, and the final $4.5 Billion will come from long-term state bond sales.

UNREST AFTER TURKISH ELECTIONS
April 18, 1999

CHAVEZ UNDERPERFORMS IN VENEZUELA REFERENDUM
April 27, 1999

CARACAS - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, in office since February, suffered a relative setback in yesterday's referendum.

May 11, 1999

WASHINGTON D.C. - According to new reports from the New York Times, the United States is on track for a budget surplus of around $250 Billion for FY 2000. Projected increases in expenditure (like the new education bill) barely make a dent in the roaring economy, which has as of this month sunk to a record low 3.9% unemployment rate. At the current economic growth rate, the country is on track for a GDP of nearly $11 Trillion by the end of next year. President Clinton's approval rating has once again breached 70% in light of the news.

ANTONIO NG ELECTED FIRST CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF MACAU
May 15, 1999

MACAU - While the provision allowing for the direct election of the first Chief Executive (future elections are expected to be run by Beijing), no observer expected the pro-Democracy camp to win the election. Yet, that's what happened last night. Pro-democracy activist Antonio Ng has won the first-ever election to become Macau's first Chief Executive, winning approximately 54,263 votes (51.7%) to the pro-Beijing Edmund Ho's 50,379 (48.0%). Ng, assuming Beijing doesn't interfere, will take office on the date of the formal handover, December 20, 1999. Political experts interviewed viewed a 'soft coup' as likely, although they expect Ng will take office.

RIGHT WING SUFFERS DEVASTATING DEFEAT IN ISRAELI ELECTION
May 17, 1999

TEL AVIV - The government of incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suffered a catastrophic defeat last night. The Prime Minister was ejected from his office by a margin of 63% to 37%, and the Knesset results were even more absurd. The generally left-wing One Israel party won 34 seats, while the more left wing Meretz won 16 seats. The projected governing coalition will also include Shinui, who won 8 seats, and Hadash, which won 4 Seats.

WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCES ENDORSEMENT FOR GORE
May 27, 1999

WASHINGTON D.C. - The White House- and, by extension, President Clinton, have formally endorsed Al Gore's campaign for the office.

June 10, 1999

-Allow random drug testing of welfare recipients

In other gubernatorial news, California Gov. Gray Davis announced that the state will join Massachusetts's sovereign wealth fund with it's own $8 Billion.

September 24, 1999

LONDON - Anyone who has been paying attention to foreign policy news over the past few years almost certainly remembers the excitement surrounding the victory of Ram Ouèdraogo in Burkina Faso's election last year. Unlike many leaders elected to international attention, Ouèdraogo has on all counts delivered. During his ten months in the Presidential Palace, the country has seen growth skyrocket. GDP has gone from $3.4 Billion to $3.9 Billion, a number that stands in contrast to the negative growth rates seen in both neighboring countries and in years past. Despite his pro-western leanings being bemoaned by anti-imperialist leftists, Ouèdraogo has also overseen the implementation of expanded public health care and has announced the expansion of compulsory primary school within the next few years.
