Yep! That's why I avoid biased press sources!

From the AP: Wilson acknowledged his wife was no longer in an undercover job at the time Novak's column first identified her. "My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity," he said.

Bullshit. They are only indistinguishable for morons in management and accounting (not to mention libertarian wonks) who assume all goods are fungible - a fallacy bred of ignorance. You seem so bitter cj. Also you are missing the difference between "being" and "becoming".

That's what they work for, well slightly more. Their cost structure is substantially less than a US based developer, but they provide much better value than most other offshore houses. I do get the point. What value do you provide to the global economy PP? Getting closer..they are becoming indistinguishable from local labor.

absolutley..I posted an article a few months ago showing how some Indian hospitals were attracting US pts due to low costs.

Hmmm cj not sure if you get the point but here is some help ==> proposed hourly wage = $8.30. Cheers

pathetic

replace "policy" with the word "practice." They have already begun to not use the words terorist. In fact they have modified articles. Searches via google using the word terrorirst have linked to articles not containing the word terrorist. "Hypocrisy is in the eye of the beholder " s an odd thing when what the eye can beholds changes with a simple refresh. seems like the BBC agrees with me regarding policy

So at the moment of the decision what happens to the laws? Certainly they are still on the books so to speak but their status has changed by virtue of the decision.

While we are on the subject... Close Readers: Humanism and Sodomy in Early Modern England (Princeton UP, 1997) by Alan Stewart

ok never is a strong word but I am happy you see that they did go against their own policy which was the point of my post.

He never said it was enforceable.

bleeeeat!

What happened to the Si PC?

Minx - Good effort but i believe that the circumstances surrounding the policy leave little doubt what the driving force behind it was. BTW - I got back from Rainier last night and am really in the mood for climbing - why are we both at home on this morning? And while we are on a topic related to media bias check out this! Quote from Brad Delong - who once declare dhimself the closest thing to a Marxist Econ prof at UC Berkley: link Sadly his leftist viewpoint has required he dismiss the obvious so many times that he can't even see the obvious => there was no error! It was an attempt by an editor to create the story he wanted and when the facts would confirm to "his story" he simply made them up. As a side note in a recent poll by a German media site the NYT had fallen from 1st to 6th place in respected papers. The Financial Times came in first place.

Not long ago, the BBC said that it never used the words "terrorism" or "terrorist" because, and I quote, "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." I posted about this and the usual suspects all marching in line supported the attempt at be "unbiased." Press here and search of terrorist or some variant. The BBC Home Editor Mark Easton said: "These documents provide the first hard evidence ever seen of England's readiness to deal with a massive terrorist attack. " Of course it is easy to be "unbiased" when others are being blown up. Others less charitable might suggest that it is easier to be 'unbiased" when those being blown up are American, Jews, brown or black.

By Orrin Kerr: Lots of editorials and opinion pieces are being penned about the future of the Supreme Court these days, and it occurs to me that all of this writing is terribly inefficient. We could condense most of the different editorials and opinion pieces into a single essay, with one caveat: you just need to insert the proper words depending on whether the authors are liberal or conservative. Here is that single essay, with the bracketed sections containing the word or phrase to insert for liberal authors followed after the slash by the word or phrase to insert for conservative authors. The Future of the Supreme Court July 7, 2005 The Washington [Post/Times] The retirement of Sandra Day O'Connor presents a major opportunity for President George W. Bush. It is essential to our Nation that he choose her replacement wisely. Although nominated by Ronald Reagan, Justice O'Connor turned out to be surprisingly [enlightened/unprincipled]. Her jurisprudence was [pragmatic/random], which tended to frustrate [conservative wingnuts/believers in a written Constitution]. While Justices Scalia and Thomas voted to [turn back the clock/ follow the Constitution], Justice O'Connor frequently voted in a way that was quite [reasonable/result-oriented]. News reports speculate that President Bush may nominate Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Jr. to replace Justice O'Connor. If so, it will be a major [relief/disappointment]. While Gonzales has a proven record of loyalty to the President, he does not appear to be a [nut/conservative]. He [may not/ may] vote the right way in many cases, but [he is as good a nominee as we're likely to get/ I doubt it]. Other individuals often named as possible nominees to replace Justice O'Connor are much [worse/better]. Nominating an [extreme/actual] conservative like J. Michael Luttig would signal to all Americans that the Constitution is [on life support/back]. The conservative base has made its position loud and clear: it wants Bush to nominate a strong conservative to the Supreme Court. He should [ignore/listen to] them. The stakes are too high to do otherwise. The fate of our Constitution, and our Nation, hangs in the balance.

link Did the Wilson blame Rove out of Anger?

Cooper will testify..so much for holding his ground here is something interesting: link

has the following claim: The legendary naturalist John Muir patented his own vibrator for men in 1899. Anyone hear of the this?

I bet it really would have been too hot had we gone there. Remember if you can't hit a crag with a rock thrown form your car it's alpine climbing and we all know that's the same as hiking.
