We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [President Bush]
Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks in New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
Now, the cleanup. More than 1.5 million people remain without electricity in North Carolina this morning.
Algore visited China recently, and it is believed he was paid to speak at a communist government-linked think tank. People could pay 50,000 yuan to get their picture taken with Algore, or 100,000 yuan to buy conference sponsorship packages.
Algore claims he was paid by BusinessWeek to attend the event: "I can tell you specifically our contract says DnmStrategies for BusinessWeek," says Jano Cabrera, spokesman for Algore, as reported by Drudge.
Drudge also reports that Nancy Sheed, spokeswoman for BusinessWeek, says: "This was not an official BusinessWeek-sponsored event. We did not pay any of the participants in the event. We did not pay any of the speakers at the event. BusinessWeek was also not aware that anybody had been invited on behalf of BusinessWeek to speak at the event."
Algore also attended an informal lunch on November 18 with approximately 30 members of the Asia society, sponsored by Hong Kong chairman Mr. Chan. Chan was an independent director of ENRON. Algore knew of Chan's relationship with ENRON because a source said he "told him before we went into the lunch."
Algore may be the master of reinvention, but he does not seem to have reinvented his pechant for Chinese money.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
That was fun. I learned a lot about Tennessee. Have you ever heard of a town called Soddy Daisy? That was my favorite.:)
I'm surprised at how many towns share names with towns in Wisconsin............Madison, Oneida, and Pulaski, to name a few.
Except maybe Soggy Under-arms Algore.
Who do the Saints play this weekend?
I wonder how many Green Bays there are in the U.S......
GO VICK!!!!!
They also should have rolled against Detroit, twice against Atlanta, and Cleveland two weeks ago. They have an amazing knack for tanking in games that should be easy wins. I don't know if it's the players going in expecting to win, or if Haslett just doesn't get them mentally prepared, but they always have a tough time against teams they should blow out. They have no trouble beating good teams(the 49ers, Pack, Steelers, and most assuredly the Bucs will attest to that), but they just can't seem to take care of business in the gimme games.

I ordered a bunch of stuff from British Gourmet; it arrived today; a couple of different cheeses to go with Christmas dinner, some Double Devon Cream, some tea biscuits, chocolates, ginger beer, and some strange concoction I'm drinking right now: Dandelion and burdock; it's a soft drink; not too bad. Also some little candies & stuff for the dinner, including the cutest things I've ever seen: sugar mice! They're about 2 inches long, pink ones and white ones, on sticks. And they look just like little mice! Those Brits.......
We have them every year. My mother loves them!
