Disgusted (Dec 07 2003 03:59 GMT) - Just turned off the Big 12 title game: my beloved Sooners are getting waxed by K-State. White was just picked off for the second time. Clock ticking down on the season now. Prediction: |

Condo Living (Dec 07 2003 03:59 GMT) - The search for a condo begins this Sunday. I’m very excited. The money part, however, confuses and frightens me. I expected as much. |

Guardian Unlimited: "FBI uses new powers to bug anti-war groups" (Dec 07 2003 03:59 GMT) - American civil liberties groups yesterday denounced the FBI for using new counter-terrorist powers to spy on anti-war demonstrations. FBI officials said the surveillance of the anti-war movement was necessary to prevent protests being used as a cover by "extremist elements" or by terrorist organisations to mount an attack. But the critics have pointed to an FBI memorandum on anti-war demonstrations distributed last month to local police forces which suggests that federal agents have also been monitoring legal organising techniques used by opponents of the war in Iraq. "It is troubling that the FBI is advocating spying on peaceful protesters. Even protesters who engage in civil disobedience or other disruptive acts should not be treated like potential terrorists," Anthony Romero, the director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), said yesterday. |

Tough New Tactics by U.S. Tighten Grip on Iraq Towns (Dec 07 2003 03:58 GMT) - "With a heavy dose of fear and violence, and a lot of money for projects, I think we can convince these people that we are here to help them," Colonel Sassaman said. ... In Abu Hishma, residents complain that the village is locked down for 15 hours a day, meaning that they are unable to go to the mosque for morning and evening prayers. They say the curfew does not allow them time to stand in the daylong lines for gasoline and get home before the gate closes for the night. But mostly, it is a loss of dignity that the villagers talk about. |

Three Down (Dec 07 2003 03:56 GMT) - Another quarter in the books, and it's now 28-7. Oklahoma hasn't responded as I expected. Still, three touchdowns is doable for that offense. It's looking unlikely that Jason White will live up to his Heisman hype, which is fine by me. Just because he has the numbers doesn't mean he... |

Playing to Lose (Dec 07 2003 03:56 GMT) - It's halftime of the Big 12 Championship game, and it's 21-7 Kansas State ahead of Oklahoma. A surprise, to be sure. Jason "over-hyped" White has been beaten around for the first time this year, but you can't count him out with two quarters to go. Oklahoma always makes good adjustments... |
