Working Very Well for Them

[New Urban Legends](http://www.snopes.com/info/whatsnew.asp:) “Former first lady Barbara Bush said that New Orleans refugees being housed in the Houston Astrodome were ‘underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.'”

This is **TRUE**! My God… I may have to rethink my affiliations. I’ve had several friends try and tell me for years the the Republican Party doesn’t give a damn about anybody but the wealthy… and apparently they were right. I’ve never registered as a Republican, but I’ve always believed the “smaller government, less spending, lower taxes, etc.” mantra that they’ve always spouted off on (and which they are clearly no longer believers, but rather just parrots of the party line). I can’t think of any reason to align myself with Republicans anymore.

This is truly horrifying.

I think the Libertarians will be getting my votes from now on [[:-)]].

Just to be clear

The new release, called Tiger, is the latest version of Apple’s excellent Mac OS X operating system. Its key feature, called Spotlight, is the first universal, integrated search system ever offered as part of a mainstream consumer PC operating system. In seconds, Spotlight can peer inside e-mail, office documents of all kinds, photos, songs, address books, calendars, and all manner of other files to see which ones match a search term you type in.

Overall, Tiger is the best and most advanced personal computer operating system on the market, despite a few drawbacks. It leaves Windows XP in the dust.

The new Apple system boasts some key capabilities Microsoft won’t introduce for another 18 months or so, when it finally rolls out its long-awaited next version of Windows, code-named Longhorn.

Why wait? You can have all those great features today. C’mon… you know you want it [[:-)]].

Tiger: Tortoise or hare?

The younger man, in fact, has not trailed his hero’s win rate since picking up his fourth major at the 2000 Open.

It was fitting that Nicklaus’ final bow as a competitor in a major should come in the same tournament Woods became only the second man, after Jack, to win each major twice.

The passing of the baton from one sporting great to another has rarely been so seamless.
