You can see the PDC report here. http://www.pdc.wa.gov/rptimg/default.aspx?batchnumber=100278029&formtype=C3 That's more than they have donated to some candidates for Congress. http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/committees/united-pilots-pac-airline-pilots-association.asp?cycle=08 I don't get it. Sure, O'Neill used to work for United as a mechanic in Seattle before he retired.

I called the DOL a few times to square things away regarding my Alien Firearms License, and received some bad news. Apparently last year the DOL was told by the FBI they could no longer issue these licenses, something to do with background checks? In 2002, I was granted my Alien Firearms License; now that license has expired as of 8/20/2007. I...

OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Jean Chretien plans to urge fellow NATO leaders to keep the alliance out of the U.S.-led attack on Iraq, according to his advisors. Chretien will make the case during the NATO summit in Prague which begins tomorrow. U.S. President George W.
