I was blown away (Dec 29 2003 18:06 GMT) - Every once in awhile you encounter an observation so revolutionary and yet so obviously true that you have to catch your breath. I've recently started reading March Schmitt's weblog, The Decembrist, and was rewarded with this: I do think that the backlash against the Medicare bill is not long in coming, and No Child Left Behind is already one of the most locally unpopular federal initiatives in a long time. But as I've written before, it's not easy for Democrats to find centrist language that shows how they would do things differently, that goes beyond the liberalism of "more." As it is, I suspect the backlash against this crappy, lazy, irresponsible legislation will not be a call to improve it, but simply another backlash against government. |

Firebird bug (Dec 29 2003 18:06 GMT) - I love Firebird unreservedly, but I've been plagued by a particularly annoying bug recently. For some reason whenever I click on a page, a blinking cursor appears just as if I were editing the page. I haven't had much luck searching Bugzilla, so I'm going to try reinstalling. I wonder if something was corrupted, because I've been using Firebird 0.7 for awhile and this bug has only recently cropped up. |

For the record (Dec 29 2003 18:06 GMT) - I'm no lover of Halliburton or this administration's relationship with the company, but it seems clear that Halliburton isn't making money hand over fist in Iraq, as is frequently alleged or implied. That still doesn't mean that we shouldn't be giving a lot more work to Iraqis or at least competitively bidding jobs out. |

Another Question is Answered in the Davis-Bacon Act Q&A Column (Dec 29 2003 18:06 GMT) - Service Contract Act regulations (29 CFR 4.175(d)) require periodic payments to a pension trust to be made quarterly or more frequently. How can an employer square this with the IRS's annual valuation and contribution rules? That is, how can the employer make quarterly contributions throughout a year when the necessary contribution won't be calculated until the end of the year? (BenefitsLink. |

Côte d'Ivoire [opinion]: Les marcoussistes ont affaibli Seydou Diarra (Dec 29 2003 18:06 GMT) - Du 15 au 24 janvier 2003, les acteurs politiques ivoiriens et les protagonistes de la crise qui secouent le pays depuis le 19 septembre 2002 se sont retrouvés à Marcoussis dans la banlieue parisienne.
