... and therein (unintended pun or no) lies the problem. One unreasonable set of politicians versus a reasonable set, fine. Two unreasonable sets ... oops, I am beginning to have recurring nightmares of false dawns.

Cap,

Welcome to the half-wit's half light. There are so many inanities in the NYT today (Front Page, Powell Response, etc.) it would kill the server. It would be funny if it weren't so...

Just before I go to bed, this my contribution to the thread.
"Those who think that they can say, '"Were only going to have a stimulus package, but let's forget tax relief,' misunderestimate me.

Which ever way your sentiments weigh, this is interesting set of stories on the Florida vote ... including much new info. I mentioned this, too, in the Non-Word thread.
Happy reading.

This from the front page of today's New York Times:

The midair crash occurred about 50 miles southeast of China's Hainan Island, in what Americans described as international waters.


Pardon the two-day delay in responding, but exactly how does a midair crash occur in international (or any other kind of) waters? [tongue-in-cheek e]

Easy, Nancy. The Orion is typically a submarine hunter (although this particular one wasn't, of course, they just wanted to listen to local Chinese FM radio stations). And the Chinese air force is usually out of its depth when dealing with Americans. Ergo, in international waters!

Thanks, CK. To paraphrase Paul Harvey, "So THAT is the REST of the story!" I knew someone out there would be able to explain it.

Gooood DAY!

From this month's "Car and Travel"

"If you've already lived through any of the automotive crises described below, congratulations. You've proved your cool. If you haven't, count your blessings.."
