?Juliet O'Neill was doing everything right,? Mr. Anderson told CBC Newsworld angrily. ?Who knew about this? Who condoned a police raid on a journalist's home??

The race remains Kerry leading, Clark in second, Dean down in third, Edwards fourth. Why are our numbers so different from the rest of the media?
Because they use the untrustworthy, right-wing puppet polls, like the Zogby polls. As the Washington Post reported yesterday, "ABC's polling department has reviewed (Zogby's) methodology and rated his polls "not airworthy." This admission came directly from John Zogby himself.
"Zogby is not a reputable pollster," said Warren Mitofsky, who is co-directing the media exit polls this year for the major television networks and the Associated Press."
according to the Post, "Zogby also adjusts his sample based on... his judgment of "what is happening on the ground" in a particular race."
And just to make the point clear, the Post writers who wrote the article point out that the fact that Zogby's work is bunk doesn't stop them form being, "featured in newspaper and broadcast news stories, at least in part on the theory that good or bad, his polls are news."

It didn't matter, and we knew it wouldn't. No matter how big a lie the President told, everyone who bears the label Republican - and so sits on one side of the auditorium - rose in unison. Not a single soul was able to muster a conscience. Not a single soul was able to stand up (or, in this case, sit down) for what is best for America.

And certainly, the cheaper dollar has improved the fortunes of firms with sizable foreign markets: Technology and energy companies in the S&P 500 posted earnings gains of about 88 percent and 59 percent respectively last year. Still, says Rubin, now a top Citigroup executive, "If you walk around Wall Street, there is enormous concern."

"There's no doubt that the falling dollar is inflationary," says Keith Karlawish, chief investment officer for BB&T Asset Management. Already some prices have been rising. Last week's consumer price reading was still tame, but the wholesale price index jumped in December to register a 4 percent gain for 2003, its fastest rise in 13 years.

The President chuckled. "Well, you got a pretty face," he told the surprised Mr. Reid. He wasn't done. "You got a pretty face," he said again. "You're a good-looking guy. Better looking than my Scott anyway."
