- 2004 Presidential Election Some of the people that voted for Ralph Nader, the Green Party candidate in 2000, are backing whoever has a chance to beat George Bush instead of this year's nominee, according to the Rocky Mountain News [December 27, 2003, "Nader fans 'repent' choice in 2000, say their votes put 'tyrant' in office"]. Nice headline. I just finished Michael Moore's latest book, Dude, Where's My Country? this morning. Moore is trying to rally the grassroots to organize to oust George Bush next fall. |

Today it is more than ever a politically charged symbol of the promises and perils of free trade.The accord, known as Nafta, brought under one canopy three hugely different economies: the wealthy United States, middle-class Canada and striving Mexico. The disparities made Nafta the boldest gamble ever on the proposition that free trade could benefit all. |

- The channel has been rather slow the past few months, anyway. I do mean slooooow by the way! But after having my Axim stolen and all, I just haven't been in the mood to do Pocket PC helpdesk duties at all. So I made the decision late last night (technically early this morning if you wanna be that picky) to close the channel. Perhaps someday whenever I get a new Pocket PC I will resurrect the channel, assuming no one else has taken over with it by then. |
