sander writes "OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 has finally been released (after 5 release candidates -- should make it pretty sweet). The announcement is here, there is a really nice features page and a long list of mirrors carrying the goodies." OO.org releases for languages other than English should be here soon, too.

BUSH = LOUSE by Anonymous Coward · 2003-10-01 07:26 · Score: -1, Offtopic

A former counter-terrorism official at the CIA and the State Department claimed Tuesday night that outed CIA agent "Valerie Plame" was under cover for three decades and was not a "CIA analyst" as columnist Bob Novak has suggested.

Larry Johnson made the charge on PBS's NEWSHOUR.

"I worked with this woman. She started training with me. She has been under cover for three decades."

Johnson continues: She is not as Bob Novak suggested a "CIA analyst." Given that, i was a CIA analyst for 4 years. I was under cover. I could not divulge to my family outside of my wife that I worked for the CIA unti I left the Intelligence Agency on Sept. 30, 1989. At that point I could admit it. The fact that she was under cover for three decades and that has been divulged is outrageous. She was put undercover for certain reasons. One, she works in an area where people she works with overseas could be compromised...

"For these journalists to argue that this is no big deal... and if I hear another Republican operative suggesting that, well, this was just an analyst. Fine. Let them go undercover. Let's put them go overseas. Let's out them and see how they like it...

"I say this as a registered Republican. I am on record giving contributions to the George Bush campaign. This is not about partisan politics. This is about a betrayal, a political smear, of an individual who had no relevance to the story. Publishing her name in that story added nothing to it because the entire intent was, correctly as Amb. Wilson noted, to intimidate, to suggest taht there was some impropriety that somehow his wife was in a decision-making position to influence his ability to go over and savage a stupid policy, an erroneous policy, and frankly what was a false policy of suggesting that there was nuclear material in Iraq that required this war. This was about a political attack. To pretend it was something else, to get into this parsing of words.

"I tell you, it sickens me to be a Republican to see this."

  "I worked with this woman. She started training with me. She has been under cover for three decades."
  
  So the lady worked for the CIA since she was 10 years old? Nice. You DO know she's only 40, right?
  
  You DO know that her name was already published on a website bio of Wilson long before this, right?
  
  You DO know that the entire thing is based of Robert Novak's column, and yet nobody is listening to him now, because he is saying that nobody in the administration called him, she was an analyst, hardly covert, and it was CIA employees he got the story from, who mentioned the name.
Tommy Chong deserves to rot under the jail by slashcop · 2003-10-01 07:36 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Tommy Chong deserves to rot under the jail. Tommy Chong deserves to go to prison! I hope they keep him locked up for the rest of his life. Weed is illegal, he sets a bad example for kids, he promotes weed, organized crime, terrorism, gangs, put the guy in prison for life and set an example. Maybe little kids will think twice before copying their hero Snoop Dogg or Eminem.

  Christ...are you making a bad joke, or are you delusional???
  
  Guess what, friend? I smoke pot, as do MILLIONS of other Americans. It's sad if you decide right/wrong based not on ethics and morals, but on what lawmakers tell you. Chong wasn't imprisoned for any sort of marijuana-related offense; he was imprisioned for selling glass water pipes. Thank you John Ashcroft.
  
  The more I think about it, the more I think you must be making a terrible joke...or are you really this naive??

  Deadbeat???? Motherfucker! I'm a full-time college student, as well as a full-time IT worker. OH MY GOD! POT SMOKERS HAVE NORMAL LIVES JUST LIKE YOU!!!
  
  Ashcroft's DOJ was 100% responsible for "Operation Pipe Dreams" which put a 65-year-old man in jail for selling some glass (which has other "legitimate" uses). Fuck it, I'm moving to Canada.

Tommy Chong is not a criminal.
You obviously never saw the movie The Corsican Brothers.
