Thursday's Start

Items of Note

from WAPO:

-Gates (not Bush) seeking 190B for wars. Certainly we have better things to do with our money. I say NO. Come back with a better plan, a more reasonable request.
-Oregon judge throws out (voids) parts of Patriot Act, unconstitutional. That's good news.
-Broder on the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP): Republicans following Bush over a cliff. Hmmm. What is up with these guys? I say yes to more health insurance for our kids.

from ESPN:

-Jason Sobel goes through the match ups: the one that struck me as, well, striking, was the David Toms/Jim Furyk fight with Ernie Els and Angel Cabrera. I guess it's the presence of Angel that provides the electricity. Should be fun - who can ever forget the Ernie Els/Tiger Woods fight to the finish a couple of years back (turns out it was back in 2003) when the two of them traded pressure putts till darkness came and Nicklaus and Player decided that nobody should lose?! Declared it a tie. Good stuff.

It's raining here and looks like it will keep on raining for a while. Eric is at the golf course mowing greens. Guess I'll head that way, just for the fun of it.

-Oregon judge throws out parts of Patriot act - That's good news according to Mike. "It is very good news if you are a terrorist"

Not so as it will be recognized that fear is not going to make us change the freedoms that we have been so rightly proud of and which we curtailed in a moment of panic.
