US Government Keeping Close Eye on Longhorn

Posted by michael on Tuesday July 20, 2004 @08:20AM from the picador dept.

skrysakj writes "CNN/Money has a new article describing the close eye the Feds have on Longhorn and its compliance with the anti-trust settlement. I wonder how discerning their eye will be considering past decisions and lax enforcement. Also, this prompts the question, what is the EU doing to examine Longhorn?" The longer Washington Post piece has more information.

Should we expect a similar controversy or will a more innocuous variable name be used to keep everything hush-hush?

It's not anti-American, and it's definitely not Goatse.

It's an article talking mainly about what Roosevelt's vice-President said about fascism, but it's worth thinking about even today.

  Hmm... a call for guts from an AC? In any case, we are talking about the guy's sig. The link isn't misleading. Chill the OT rant. *Posted AC because this is, in fact off-topic.

So let me get this straight: because Kerry didn't earn his wife's money, Republicans don't actually put big business before ordinary citizens? Thanks for clearing that up.
