Harry,

Why is this even news?

What's the point?

What the hell does the UN have to do with a US contract to Halliburton, anyway?

Once we had played the "Saddam is in violation of UN sanctions so the US is
going to kick his butt" card, we've had no further use for the UN since day
one. What right does the UN have to audit the US?

Politics is a crooked business. Why are we continually suprised that the
ultimate politicians are the biggest crooks of all?

Yawn.

Go boating. Enjoy that hot water. :-)


This past week, I had lunch with an interesting group of people,
including a couple of Republicans. One of them told me he was planning
to stay home on election day because "hardly a day goes by without
another revelation of the dirtiness of Bush and his administraiton," and
that he thought "Bush was too crooked to vote for again."

That's why.

There is a small but growing number of Republicans who either will vote
for Kerry or will not vote at all because of their disappointment in
Bush. I feel the upcoming election is going to be another squeaker, and
anything that can be done to make Republicans queasy about Bush and
convince them to NOT vote for him is worthwhile.
