Ifill was selling books at the debate. Ifill got dirty quickly anouncing rules then breaking them herself on the very first question giving no followup time for it. She only enforced “rules” against Palin throughout. Actually she cut off Palin too early breaking her own rules each time. At 12:55 Palin anounces she will answer Bidens attack at 13:39 Ifill cuts off Palin off. She in hurting Biden so Ifill breaks the rule completely cutting her of after only 45 seconds abruptly and nasty as any woman ever. “Now let’s move on here”. Boy was Biden smiling as Ifill slapped...

Passive components shortage imminent? Tax changes could cut manufacturing By INQUIRER staff: Friday 14 February 2003, 19:18 SHARE DIVIDENDS WILL NOT BE TAXED under planned changes that could come into effect this year in the US. This could have far reaching consequences for component suppliers. More than half the suppliers in the US do not issue dividends and that could drive investors away. Shawn Wood, analyst at iSuppli, has warned that passive component suppliers face an uphill struggle to keep their capital investments going at a steady rate. He outlines three possible scenarios in a new report. The most likely...

Says being attacked here is like being attacked by his friends. Caller (sorry didn't catch your name) from here assured him this was a minority view. Also assured him Jim would pull post.

By November, the fix was in. Attorney General John Ashcroft had indicated that he had little interest in pursuing the case, and several Department of Justice Antitrust attorneys had already left, disillusioned. The result was a settlement neatly summarized by the financial analysts we cited at the time: "a major win; no substantive change in business model or R&D practices; maintain Buy." Ashcroft had declined to excuse himself from the case: despite having taken $20,000 in campaign contributions for his Senate campaign from Microsoft and refused to disclose contacts with the company. That said, the contribution hadn't done him much...

Watched conference on fox news. The Nuke inspector was there as well. They were asking for more time but at the same time sending a very clear message to Iraq that Iraq had to start cooperating. Iraq must let their scientist be interviewed without any minders. Iraq must be proactive in providing proof that the weapons have been destroyed. Iraq must allow and help in the destruction of any weapons they still have. Blix made it clear that unless Iraq did this soon. Very soon that the US stood ready to act. He also made it clear that were Iraq...

I saw Charly Rangle (D - NY) today on the O'Reilly Factor. They showed a clip of him clapping for Bush on a domestic item (education). I thought he must have made a mistake. However he said he loves the way Bush is running the government and is glad he is the President. He went on and on about how good a man Bush is. He still disagrees with Bush on how to do many domestic things but he genuinely likes Bush. He is one of the most liberal congress men alive and black. If Bush can win the Black ...

An American Airlines Pilot forced a terroist to leave flight 566. This mid-eastern terroist managed to shoot hundreds and kill at least 120 before secruity was able to board the plane and stop the carnage. This is what the headline would have been 12/25/1 had the American Airline Pilot been correct and this had been a terroist not a USSS Agent. I do not believe that an armed terroist could make it onto a plane unless they really were authorized at this point. This pilot was flat out wrong to suspect this agent. If he had a gun then some ...

<p>Attorneys for an Arab-American Secret Service agent kicked off an American Airlines flight on Christmas Day accused the pilot yesterday of singling out the agent because of his ethnicity.</p> <p>The agent's attorneys claim the American Airlines pilot refused to verify the agent's credentials, even though the agent tried to give the pilot the names and telephone numbers of his supervisors at the Secret Service and the White House. The agent's name has not been released due to security concerns.</p>

N E W Y O R K, Jan. 4 — An American Airlines passenger says he believes an Arab-American Secret Service agent who was kicked off a Christmas Day flight was targeted because of his ethnicity. "I feel he was most likely removed from the plane &#151; obviously I wasn't privy to the paperwork or that he was a Secret Service [agent] or such &#151; but I think he fit a profile," the passenger, Mark Pueschel, said today on ABCNEWS' Good Morning America. Pueschel had been seated next to the agent as the American Airlines flight prepared to take off ...

<p>Here's one from Karen who's from upstate, New York. Big territory. "Bill, I almost always agree with you, but you are really wrong on this one. The pilot did exactly the right thing. And anyone who believes a government ID cannot be forged is living in a fantasy."</p>

I can not see the Front Page oft times. Is there a way to go to it directly? All I get is Breaking News.

> You may have thought that Microsoft Corp.'s antitrust lawsuit was a battle over software, but anyone who buys Intel-compatible computers can find cause for genuine anger in the June 28th Court of Appeals ruling in this case. Almost buried in pages of discussion of the Internet "browser wars" are a few short paragraphs about Microsoft's offer to Intel of a mutually beneficial bargain, with Microsoft withholding support for AMD's 3DX instruction set in return for Intel's withdrawal from cross-platform multimedia efforts. To protect its own software monopoly, in other words, Microsoft bargained to limit customer choice in hardware as ...

Thus the five coin set they are selling for $19.95 is only worth a total of 60 cents. What a rip off.

(7) Procedures for a manual recount are as follows: (a) The county canvassing board shall appoint as many counting teams of at least two electors as is necessary to manually recount the ballots. A counting team must have, when possible, members of at least two political parties. A candidate involved in the race shall not be a member of the counting team.

Paula Zhan had a Republican Election Law expert on. She found in the statute that the County Election Board while doing a manual recount SHALL appoint as many counters as necessary to comply with State law. If Palm Beach didn't appoint enough that is their problem. P B's re-counts will be excluded from the final and the original counts will be used.

The O'Reilly Factor (8 p.m., 11 p.m. ET) We'll speak with Tom Connolly, the Democratic activist who leaked the news of George W. Bush's 1976 DUI arrest.

I just talked to Congressman Gilcrest office. They will mail me a statement on Elian. They also stated that there is some movement on the hill for Republicans to get together and come up with something similiar to the Contract with America for the 2000 Elections. I asked if Reno could be impeached and was told that only Clinton can fire her and no she can't be impeached. Gilcrest is not on the commity looking into this however he is concerned about this.

I went to the FNC web site and found a picture of Elian in the arms of a Female Police Woman with two other heavily armed Police and he is clearly missing his bottom right tooth second from the middle. In his supposed reunion photo he has all his teeth. He must grow teeth in a hurry. They took most of these reunion photos off the site so they must know this.
