Re: quote du jour
Let's start a campaign to demand that Republican women officials denounce Ann Coulter. If this could be classified as an ethnic slur, wouldn't there be a firestorm? Why is this tolerated?

Re: quote du jour
Just to get your blood boiling, here's another quote from Ann Coulter: Conservatives believe man was created in God's image, while liberals believe they are gods. All of the behavioral tics of the liberals proceed from their godless belief that they can murder the unborn because they, the liberals, are themselves gods. They try to forcibly create 'equality' through affirmative action and wealth redistribution because they are gods. They flat-out lie, with no higher power to constrain them, because they are gods. They adore pornography and the mechanization of sex because man is just an animal, and they are gods. They revere the UN and not the U.S. because they aren't Americans -- they are gods. When I didn't know who she was and so Googled her, I discovered a large list of list-serv posts commenting on the fact that she has an Adam's apple.

Quote du Jour
In the northern city of Kirkuk, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island held a private meeting with local officials who pleaded for financial help from the American government. Clinton, a Democrat from New York, and Reed, a Democrat from Rhode Island, spent Friday in Iraq with troops, occupation officials and aid workers. They said Friday that the huge costs of rebuilding Iraq should be spread among a wider group of nations. I'm a big believer that we ought to internationalize this, but it will take a big change in our administration's thinking, said Clinton. I don't see that it's forthcoming.

Quote du Jour: Paul Bremer on economic justice
I have to say that it is curious to me to have a country [like Iraq - JB] whose per capita income, GDP, is about $800 ... that a county that poor should be required to pay reparations to countries whose per capita GDP is a factor of 10 times that for a war which all of the Iraqis who are now in government opposed - Paul Bremer (in reply to a question whether, given Iraq's weakened economic condition, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia would accept a delay in the compensation payments related to Hussein's invasion - the external debt of Iraq is currently estimated at US$100 billion) Source: http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/9E792DC7-A1AD-4AC1-A291-D92E26178F52. htm

Re: quote du jour
Fusaro, Peter and Ross Miller. 2002. What Went Wrong at Enron: Everyone's Guide to the Largest Bankruptcy in U.S. History (NY: John Wiley Sons). 8: Ken Lay, who kept in contact with Michael Milken years after Milken was released from prison, clearly viewed him as a kind of role model. Making a new market, as Milken did with junk bonds, could be the road to fantastic wealth. Unfortunately, Ken Lay failed to heed the lessons of Milken's failure. He often rubbed elbows with this controversial figure in finance, including a private meeting in May 2001 that was purportedly held to drum up support for Lay's solution to California's energy crisis. To say the least, Milken was a strange but visible guest to this secretive meeting, which included luminaries such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Richard Riordan, the mayor of Los Angeles.

I went to see Terminator 3 tonight, it was kind of circumstantial. But I don't think many people will remember it in ten years time. Spectacular stunts though, and some wickedly funny sets. I got out of the theatre without being eaten. Alternative quotes: 1. I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying - Woody Allen 2. I don't want to achieve immortality by being inducted into the Hall of Fame. I want to achieve immortality by not dying - Leo Durocher (New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals, and Brooklyn Dodgers) 3. I hold it ever Virtue and cunning were endowments greater Than nobleness and riches. Careless heirs My the two latter darken and expend; But immortality attends the former, Making a man a god. - William Shakespeare, Pericles Prince of Tyre (Cerimon at III, ii) 4.

According to the outgoing chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the head of Enron offered to support him at the White House if he changed his policy positions.
