I've got a whole passel of stuff for you, whatever a "passel" is. I hope it's like a "bunch", since that's roughly what I've got.
If you haven't heard about the latest U.S. cover-up of Saudi activities, you're relying on the wrong news sources. Me, for example.
The president of the Detroit (football) Lions has been fined for not having interviewed any "minority" candidates before hiring their newest coach. A hundred years from now, people will be stunned by today's racism.
Actually, I'm stunned by the racism of fifty years ago, so, go figure.
California's S&P bond rating is two above junk status, down three notches from a week ago. I'm surprised it's that high.
There's an other article suggesting that global warming is naturally-caused. The conclusion:
[F]ar from being a manmade disaster, the warming we have experienced to date is entirely natural. It is, therefore, unlikely to continue to the point at which it will destroy us. After all, it has been ebbing and flowing every 135 million years for the past 500+ million years. There is also nothing we could do to stop it, even if we tried.
I'm not convinced that sentence two follows from sentence one, or four from three, and I don't find either of the last pair comforting.
Finally, there's a new poll from New Hampshire, indicating a lead for John Kerry (hereinafter "Heinz") over Howard Dean (hereinafter, to avoid confusion with my brother, "Francesca").
[Heinz] had 25 percent support to [Francesca]'s 19 percent while the third New Englander in the race, Lieberman, was at 6 percent, a drop from 11 percent in June for the Connecticut senator.
Representative Richard Gephardt of Missouri was third at 10 percent, according to the poll by American Research Group of Manchester, N.H.
Last month, [Heinz], the Massachusetts senator, held a 10-point lead over [Francesca], the former Vermont governor.
Undecideds are up at 30%, meaning that most of this is meaningless anyway.
