    EVERETT -- Ahmed al-Mahana's biggest fear when he returned to Iraq for his first visit in 12 years was not falling victim to a terrorist bombing. It was that his 10-year-old son Ali would not like Iraq. As it turns out, he had nothing to worry about. Ali enjoyed himself so much that when it was time to return to Everett on Feb. 20, he started crying and held onto the stairway railing in his grandparents' home, screaming that he didn't want to leave.

    This is unbelievable a 3 page article in the Sunday Times about how stupid some people can be. Please note they bought their house in '79 for $118,000 and just sold it for $375,000 but only netted 92k. This is a case study in how to be stupid. I just can't believe it was in the Times and on Page one to boot. This made me rant for a couple of hours. Please tell me if I am being heartless or if someone else reads into what I did.

    Did anyone see the interview tonight. Daschle is up there on his soap box talking about how proposing programs and fighting the war are Bushes idea but that he doesn't give the money to do it; hence an ever widening "credibility gap. I passed government and I always thought it was Congresses job to provide funds. Am I wrong?

    Stolen wholesale from the DummiesUnderground then did a search on line. Lets have at it The Bush White House has an "opinion" line for you to call. So call and give your opinion of the proposed war in Iraq. The line only accepts calls from 9-5 EST., Monday thru Friday. -- Just call the White House at 202-456-1111. A machine will detain you for only a moment and then a pleasant live operator will thank you for saying "I oppose" or "I approve." -- It will only take minutes. Note that the weekends are closed for calls. The president has...

    To say that I am sick of the Clinton's is an understatement but I still find it hard to fathom why so many people are suddenly SHOCKED!! The same people who voted this trailer trash into our whitehouse and senate are now amazed that they are trailer trash. I NEVER voted for either of them, even though I got a union directive from the NEA as far as how to vote, I still found out I can vote how I want, I just can't discuss MY politics in the public school, not if I want to be hired or rehired. ...
