Why is this woman smiling?



I guess resistance really isn’t that futile after all...



Illinois Repub lican senatorial candidate Jack Ryan, his candidacy in turmoil over sex club allegations, decided to quit his quest for Congress on Friday. “I am today withdrawing from the race,?? he said in a statement prepared by his campaign.



No, it’s not that Jack Ryan, the one from the Tom Clancy novels which has been protrayed by Ben Affleck, Harrison Ford and Alec Baldwin.

Jeri Ryan charged during a custody hearing that Jack Ryan took her on surpris e trips to New Orleans, New York and Paris in 1998, a nd that he insisted she go to sex clubs with him on each trip. She said that after going out to dinner with Ryan in New York, he demanded that she go to a club with him.
“It was a bizarre club with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling,?? she said.

She said Ryan asked her to perform a sexual act while others watched, and she refused. She said they left and Ryan apologized to her and said it was out of his system.

But then, she said, he took her to Paris and again took her to a sex clu b. She said she cried and became physically ill at the club, and her husband got angry with her. She said she could never get over that incident.



It’s a story that will bounce around in the minds of Star Trek nerds for years to come folks.
