1. The EPA has reversed its position on the Army Corps of Engineers dumping sludge into the Potomac. The sludge is the result of drinking water treatment for service that supplies 1,000,000 residents.
[While no one has been able to prove deleterious effects from previous EPA permitted dumping, the EPA nevertheless sees fit to affect significantly the cost of drinking water to 20% of the Washington metro area.]

We shall not rest until we have cut a swath 60-miles wide through the entire left - taking all that is before us with us as we go. We shall leave nothing to the enemy that may be of value to him. We shall show him that he may count on nothing and will be able to keep nothing, not his spirit, not his soul, not that upon which he shall feed. We shall not cease until the moment we have rent through their entire land and have arrived at the sea, with our glorious victory upon us.

Now you have the info, go support the United States of America!!!
I might have some sympathy for telemarketers if they had not abused their privilege for many years.
I for one am still trying to figure this thing out.
I cannot find a way to justify Lott's remarks. He was a jerk for making them. It indicates to me that he is rather lacking in judgement and in brains.
I find it rather interesting the tempest that has resulted. I watched Robert Byrd say "Nigger" on Live TV last year or whenever. Nobody else seems to have noticed. Byrd is clearly a display of a senile old wreck of a Politician. He is sickening to watch. IMHO, Lott is an Idiot who somehow made it to a very high place in American politics. That has always confounded me. I simply do not see what it is that he brings to the table. I do discern that he has obviously some characteristics that can only be defined as "ruthless." I have no time for that either. It is frustrating to watch these jackals. I wish that things were different. Where does this uproar come from? Southern politicians have always made remarks that are what many would deem to be racist in nature. I see it all as hypocrisy run amok. I have no love for Trent Lott, that is for sure. He could never get 1 of my precious votes. On the other hand there are few that would.
I am just a silly radix!
