Artist Who Painted Bill Clinton’s Portrait Reveals Monica Lewinsky Is There Too
Kills 3 Teens In Ohio
In a recent interview, the artist who painted a portrait of former U. S. President, Bill Clinton that hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. revealed a surprise -- the portrait “subtly” incorporated Mon- ica Lewinsky.
Artist Nelson Shanks told the newspaper that the shadow on the left side of the portrait was cast by a man- nequin in a blue dress -- a nod to the president’s affair with his 22-year-old intern.
Shanks, who described Clinton as “the most fa- mous liar of all time,” told the Philadelphia Daily News that the shadow represents a metaphorical “shadow on the office he held.”
According to Shanks, the Clintons are pressuring the National Portrait Gallery to remove the painting. How-

Texas Boy, 4, Dies After Accidentally Shooting Himself
CODRICK MCCALL, JR.
HOUSTON, TX --- A small child lost his life over the weekend after reportedly finding a loaded gun in his babysitter’s home and some- how shooting himself.
According to the Harris County, Texas, Sheriff’s Of- fice, Codrick McCall, Jr. was not breathing when emergency responders ar- rived, and he could not be re- vived.
The boy’s parents were not in the home at the time of the shooting. The child was re- portedly staying overnight with a friend of the family while his mother celebrated her birthday.
The woman who was tak- ing care of the little boy even- tually had to be taken to the hospital after she collapsed multiple times in the street in front of her home after the shooting.
So far no one has been charged in the incident, but the case will be sent for re- view by a grand jury.
No One Believes They Are Twins
MARIA AND LUCY AYLMER
BENICIA, CA --- School officials at a Benicia, Calif., middle school are apologiz- ing after a teacher held a "black students only" Black History Month assembly.
The Benicia Middle School teacher reportedly or- ganized the assembly without clearance from the school.
The teacher responsible for the special assembly is re- portedly the only black teacher at the middle school. The teacher explained to the news station that she organ- ized the assembly to talk about the use of racial slurs on campus, including the use of the n-word.
She also showed students clips about the civil rights
movement and handed out a survey about racial attitudes. The teacher believed that the students would be more com- fortable having the discus- sion around other black students.
The school found out about the assembly after con- cerned parents complained.
Friends Of An Atlanta
UNITED KINGDOM--- The set of biracial twins, born in the United Kingdom to a white father and black mother, often stun those who don’t know them because they look nothing alike and are often mistaken as just friends, the New York Post reports.
The girls have even had to produce their birth certifi- cates in order to prove that they are related.
“No one ever believes we are twins because I am white and Maria is black,” Lucy Aylmer said, according to
the site. “Even when we dress alike, we still don’t even look like sisters, let alone twins.”
Their appearances came as a shock for the family, in- cluding their mother, Donna Douglas.
Lucy, a redhead, who can easily pass for white, is the near polar opposite of her twin, Maria, who has dark hair and a darker complex- ion. However, for Lucy, at least, their differences are no problem, and they never have to worry about being mis- taken for each other, as dif- ferent as they are.
Woman Allegedly Beat
Her Up Over A Hamburger
ATLANTA, GA --- A 23- year-old Atlanta woman claims that three women at- tacked her during a night of drinking, allegedly dragging, punching and kicking her and pulling her hair, and leaving her with two black eyes, a chipped tooth and a concus- sion.
The reason Myriah Pointer was brutally at- tacked, she believes: a ham- burger.
Pointer said that the in- cident began early Sunday morning after she acciden- tally sat on one of her friend's hamburgers while playing a drinking game. For more than two minutes Pointer is punched, kicked and dragged throughout the apartment.
MYRIAH POINTER
Pointer claims that the women then held her captive at the apartment for some three hours before she was fi- nally able to call an aunt to pick her up.
According to a police re- port, Pointer stated that she didn't want to call police from the apartment because she didn't feel safe doing so.
