To defend him exactly as much as he deserves it, he probably submitted that strip weeks ago, before the shopping trip. That said, I can't understand how anyone could be attracted to her even before that, unless they were ideologically required to be.

Halliburton... sheesh 24seven365 September 3 2005, 02:32:51 UTC
Well, for what it's worth, they got the contract to clean-up/repair a couple navy bases, but I bet they're just "testing the waters" to see what kind of public outcry is heard before they're awarded more and more no-bid contracts. It's a huge no-bid crony capitalism "wet dream" so to speak.

Wanna bet at least a few insurance companies will default and call for a "public" bailout? They don't wanna pay the claims...

Plus, I'm sure the Federal gummint will pay to rehabilitate the oil/natural gas infrastructure at a time when the oil companies are swimming in profits.

Plus, I'd even be willing to bet that all the people who are going to lose their jobs/businesses will NOT be eligible for unemployment insurance and will NOT even be counted among the unemployed.

It's enough to make me crazy...
