Good point, and I think I agree with you here. It's interesting phrasing, though. Are you saying neither candidates who cut taxes/cut spending nor candidates who raise taxes/raise spending will have a viable chance of election?

Saying his paper "flunked" the test of basic journalistic fairness, New York Times public editor Byron Calame said Alessandra Stanley's Sept. 5 report claiming that the Fox News Channel's Geraldo Rivera "nudged" an Air Force relief worker out of the way so he could film himself rescuing a Katrina victim had been made up out of whole cloth. "Since Ms. Stanley based her comments on what she saw on the screen Sept. 4, the videotape of that segment means everyone involved is looking at exactly the same evidence," Calame noted. "My viewings of the videotape - at least a dozen times, including one time frame by frame - simply doesn't show me any 'nudge' of any Air Force rescuer by Mr. Rivera," the Times internal watchdog said, adding, "Ms. Stanley declined my invitation to watch the tape with me." Times editor Bill Keller, however, is still standing by Ms. Stanley's bogus report. He told Calame that she was "writing as a critic, with the license that title brings - [and] was within bounds in her judgment." "Ms. Stanley's point was that Mr. Rivera was show-boating - that he was being pushy, if not literally pushing - and I think an impartial viewer of the footage will see it that way," Keller insisted. But Calame countered: "Ms. Stanley certainly would have been entitled to opine that Mr. Rivera's actions were showboating or pushy. But a 'nudge' is a fact, not an opinion. And even critics need to keep facts distinct from opinions." Stanley's bogus report continues a pattern at the Old Gray Lady of making up the news. Two weeks ago, columnist Paul Krugman was forced to admit that he falsely claimed media recounts in Florida showed Al Gore winning the 2000 presidential election. In August, a Times profile of Hillary Clinton changed a quote first reported by NewsMax where Clinton said she was "adamantly opposed to illegal immigrants." In the toned down Times version, Clinton's opposition was to "illegal immigration" rather than the immigrants themselves.

they will rotate through servers for maintainence, etc. That means at times some servers are down while others are still working. I believe the hosting server for each account remains static, so when your account's server is down, no mail.

I've worn mine on airplanes numerous times. Sometimes I take it off and put it in the plastic tray, sometimes not. But either way I've never had a problem.

hey, they could be Turkish Lira. At the old rate (~1.36 million to the US Dollar) she could afford a couple Big Macs.

yeah, hopefully none of the Texas emergency management officials have been indicted for obstruction or misuse of funds.

Duh, obviously it's because there are far more white people in the path of Rita.

So that article mentions Bush....where?

damn, if that's the case then this guy must be loaded.

Lead singer of GWAR went to a high school near me. In college some of my friends would go see Dave Matthews before he hit it big. DC area?

man it must really suck to be you.

A couple of the guys from GWAR went to my high school about 10 years before I got there.

now THAT is the scariest avatar I've ever seen...

I've always thought AIRBATH was pretty cool.

There are a number of people on those staff pages who don't work there anymore. You might be surprised who you'd find still listed as "staff".

I don't know any actual statistics, but I do know that it's not at all uncommon. I've personally seen dozens of people that age (and older) going through AFF.

got anything besides "rumor has it".....?

perhaps increasing your price range to six digits would help find a nicer place?

yeah, I notice a substantial increase in opening speed when I leave the tail on my Nitron unrolled.

Right after I achieve omnipresent supergalatic oneness. Seriously, why do people keep asking me that?
