    Also as an aside, too much of anything is bad, and frankly while I may not be thrilled with Bush, I still vote red because the blue side of the aisle frustrates me even more.

    Completely agree! Sure I like the balanced budgets and robut economy from the blue side, but you cannot really put a price on the entertainment value of all the bombing/shooting/killing you get to see live on CNN with the red side. Priceless! ;-)

    "Gutierrez got a personal glimpse of rampant piracy in China during a visit earlier this month, when he was offered the chance to buy a pirated copy of the newest Star Wars movie for $1 dollar, an aide said."

    For fsck's sake, it's EITHER "$1" OR "1 dollar", you TROGLODYTES!

    Sorry, that's one of my pet peeves. You'd think that as seemingly educated people, CNN wouldn't make that mis... wait a minute, this is mainstream media we're talking about here. Never mind.
