by Molly Ivins
Damned if I know why he's running
Dubya is a nice fellow, sure, but he's a bantamweight who's never been
interested in governing WASHINGTON -- As they used to say, long ago and far away,
there it is.
Tuesday night's debate gave us the real Al Gore and the real George W. Bush.
Gore won -- he may even have killed -- but he's still annoying. One can only
conclude that that smarmy, pietistic streak of his is absolutely authentic;
that's exactly who he really is.
He's sharp as a razor, knows his onions (does anyone else outside of
Congress know what "Dingell-Norwood" is?) and will probably be a good
president. Bush not only amply demonstrated his vast ignorance but also was
so profoundly misleading on his supposed role in the Texas Patients' Bill of
Rights that I have to conclude he knowingly lied.
It's possible to not know or be confused about a lot of things, but Bush
cannot possibly believe what he said: "As a matter of fact, I brought
Republicans and Democrats together to do just that in the state of Texas, to
get a patients' bill of rights through." He was there, I was there, and
that's flat untrue. He reviewed the details of the bill accurately, so it
was clear that he had recently prepped on the subject.
To add insult to injury, Bush went on to claim: "But we did something else
that was interesting. We're one of the first (actually, the first) states
that said you can sue an HMO for denying you proper coverage."
What is called the Patients' Bill of Rights was actually a package of bills,
only one of which was ever controversial. That's the bill Bush hated so much
that he refused to sign it. He had to be talked out of vetoing it because
the veto wouldn't stand.
Texas Rep. Hugo Berlanga, who was chairman of the Public Health Committee at
the time, and Kim Ross, lobbyist for the Texas Medical Association, both
fought him on it.
In 1995, his first year as governor, the Texas Legislature passed a
Patients' Bill of Rights, and George W. Bush vetoed it. In 1997, the
Legislature passed very much the same Patients' Bill of Rights, this time by
a veto-proof majority, and Bush refused to sign the crucial segment of the
bill, the very one he bragged about -- that in Texas you can sue an HMO for
denying you coverage.
He refused to sign it because he hates trial lawyers and didn't want them to
be able to sue HMOs. That's what that whole fight was about for two
sessions.
The person who deserves the credit that Bush so egregiously took for
bringing R's and D's together in support of a strong bill is a Republican
state senator, David Sibley of Waco. Bush was an impediment throughout the
entire process.
No one expects Bush to know the difference between Chernomyrdin and
Berezovsky, but the one subject that he IS supposed to know about is the
state of Texas. In the course of these debates, he has claimed that the
governor of Texas appoints state Supreme Court justices, which is a hopeless
howler. He dwelled with great relish on the claim that all three killers in
the most notorious murder case of our time got the death penalty. Only two
of them did. And Bush in fact did nothing to stop a hate crimes bill, which
was the Legislature's effort to bring something good out of that case, from
stalling. And now he claims that he passed the Patients' Bill of Rights,
which in fact was passed in spite of him.
If Al Gore had twisted the truth as grossly as Bush did on the Patients'
Bill of Rights, every Republican in America would be screaming liar, liar,
liar.
It is harder to tell if Bush actually believes his repeated claim that he is
a leader who brings Republicans and Democrats together. Can he possibly
think that he, rather than the since-deceased Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, was
running the state? I'm not sure which would be more troubling -- if he knows
it's not true or if he actually thinks it is.
I have tried repeatedly to explain to non-Texans just how weak an office the
governorship of Texas is, but even if Bush suffers from the illusion that he
has a powerful job, he must know he doesn't work at it by anyone's measure.
The New York Times has just discovered, with an air of great wonder, that
Bush doesn't even work 9 to 5 and that he knocks off work every day for a
couple of hours to jog and play video games.
This does not come as news to Texans. Our governors have varied on how much
attention they pay to the job. Some have been compulsive workers -- John
Connally, Mark White and Ann Richards all come to mind as full-time
governors, putting in killer hours most of the time. Bill Clements, too,
worked more than Bush does.
On the other hand, Dolph Briscoe spent most of his governorship on his
ranch, and they've all knocked off work to go dove hunting.
I have thought since he first ran that George W. Bush was too light to be
governor of Texas. Frankly, I can't imagine why anyone would consider him
for president. He's not smart, he doesn't know much, and he doesn't work
hard.
The truth is, he is not terribly interested in government or how it works.
Damned if I know why he's running. He is a nice fellow. I've always liked
him. I like lots of people who I don't think should be president.

Sendmail provides all sorts of spam control -
and procmail, which ships with Red Hat, gives
even more possibilities for exotic spam control.
I dunno, we do a million messages a month, sendmail

I am having trouble getting a cd that I burn to play in my stepson's

using Windows and Adaptec Easy CD Creator. And, the cdr's that I make
will play on my stereo.
I am using Linux because I haven't been able to burn one at all in
Windows. Here is the command that I'm using:

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Alright, I have to ask... Why in the _world_ are you installing RPMs on a
Slackware system? If you want RPMs, why don't you use the systems that are
_built_ with them, so the RPM database is complete? Personally, if the only
place that I can get a package I want is in an RPM, I use the rpm2tgz tool
and use installpkg on it.

Thats a greedy match first of all you are matching 0 or more of any character
with no short circuit followed by a "
.* literally means anything
you could specify m~http://([^"]+)"~;
also try using ($url) = $string =~ m~http://([^"]+)"~;
instead of the array this will also strip the // from the url.

The chains apply to interfaces, so you need to add the routes
also.

Is this a separate router with an ethernet interface at your end? You need
to know the network/mask for the machines at the other company and
do:
route add -net nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn netmask nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn gw 24.231.34.202
and they have to add a similar route back to your net. However
you might be able to simplify things if you control this and/or the
internet router. You could default everything to one router or the
other and MASQ it, and configure the routers to send things on to
the right place (but be careful about exposing the other companys
router to the internet - you might need to filter direct access).

You can only have one default gateway. For all the others you
need specific network/netmask entries. So the Linux box would
have 64.3.65.1 as the default. The internal LAN will automatically
get the route it needs from the interface/netmask.

One route to the other company's net, one default.

I haven't done MASQ on more than one interface so I'm not sure. I think
you could masq anything from the local side to anywhere with something
like:
ipchains -N eth0-f
ipchains -A eth0-f -j MASQ -i eth0 -s 172.16.0.0/16 -d 0/0
You'll probably want an assortment of firewalling rules in there too.
