the government for hauling gasoline from Kuwait to Iraq. I believe the "president" was talking about having the money repaid. I believe last Friday this was the lead story on the CBS Evening News.

That is, before we were so rudely interrupted by the capture of Saddam. This bunch has a very good knack for changing the subject. Reminds me of an airplane that crashed on the day the NORC report came out on the Florida 2000 vote. They are very good at changing the subject.

4. I though we were talking about 9/11...but no worries

Kobe and Michael stories are poised to drown out the 9/11 debate as it heats up. Michael's story, in particular, with a lengthy trial and all, will certainly serve as a great distraction. New tidbits are surfacing already.
