I'm into government, history (post-Napoleonic), law, and meteorology. Engineering is far from my forte.
The news as reported in The Washington Times:
[Note – All links go to The Washington Times’ website.]
1. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld has ordered Pentagon staff cut by 15% next year.
[Glad I’m not working there!]
( Pentagon staff to be cut 15 percent )
2. Russian military aircraft harass American military airplanes over the Pacific.
[I’m not convinced the Russians are our friends either. Just because they changed governments doesn’t necessarily mean their foreign policy has changed.]
( Russian warplanes harass U.S. craft over Pacific )
3. Arabs are upset with President Bush’s pro-Israeli stance.
[Oh well.]
( Bush 'tilt' to Israel provokes Arab world )
4. Demonflops are showing that in a sinking ship, rats jump. Increasingly, members of the demonflop party are bucking their leadership and proposing tax cuts – tax cuts deeper than even Republicans are suggesting.
[Keeping one’s job is a powerful motivator.]
( Democrats upstage Republicans on tax cuts )
5. Black leaders are calling the United States’ performance at the UN Conference on Racism – the US walked out – a debacle for the Bush Administration.
[On the contrary, it was a shining moment. The United States refused to be bullied by a UN conference.]
( Black leaders see Bush 'debacle' )
6. The Redskins, after an ugly loss last Sunday which included a benched quarterback and a fired player, are looking for some answers.
[Here’s one: GET THE BALL IN THE ENDZONE!]
( Lowly Redskins look for answers )
7. Fissures are coming to the fore in the Republican party over immigration.
[Once again, Washington tries to make something simple complicated. Either enforce the rules you have now, or change the rules. Simple.]
( GOP split over plans for reform on aliens )
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.
