* btw - the oreilly '$60m extortion' number is kinda made up.
* heres a cute one that i didnt know - early 2003, carlyle bought a chunk of a transport/rail co called csx. "The sale comes just days after CSX CEO John Snow was tapped by the White House to be the new Secretary of the Treasury." thats the 'mythical' johnsnow http://www.truthout.org/docs_02/12.20D.carlyle.csx.htm
* jose mourinho is funny
* i wish i had more time so that i could engorge myself on more information. so much to learn... similarly - if time stood still, nov02 would be a long long way away.
* " At the same time, Crossfire's home, CNN, released a survey showing that the Daily Show's audience was the most politically educated viewer group of the major talkshows." http://laweekly.blogs.com/joshuah_bearman/2004/10/stewart_saves_p.html

* having said that - i cant resist the jons crossfire thing. "Novak apparently broke his hip. I think that's not the case," Stewart said under questioning from Ken Auletta. "I think his hip tried to escape."
Piling on, Stewart continued: "I would not have him on the show. I have standards. I wouldn't do it. He shouldn't be on television. CNN should not have him on the air. He should not be amongst civilized people.""

* "One of the odd advantages that George W. Bush's nonsensical manner of running the government has provided is that it opens his administration up to so many different lines of attack that it's very hard for the anti-Bush forces to form a coherent critique." http://yglesias.typepad.com/matthew/2004/10/the_widening_re.html
* " Yet if Bush's certainty comes from his faith in God, where do the certainty of Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and the rest of the inner circle come from?" http://oxblog.blogspot.com/2004_10_17_oxblog_archive.html#109799322086857557
* " Here is a small sample of who has been getting "reparation" awards from Iraq: Halliburton ($18m), Bechtel ($7m), Mobil ($2.3m), Shell ($1.6m), Nestlé ($2.6m), Pepsi ($3.8m), Philip Morris ($1.3m), Sheraton ($11m), Kentucky Fried Chicken ($321,000) and Toys R Us ($189,449). In the vast majority of cases, these corporations did not claim that Saddam's forces damaged their property in Kuwait - only that they "lost profits" or, in the case of American Express, experienced a "decline in business" because of the invasion and occupation of Kuwait. One of the biggest winners has been Texaco, which was awarded $505m in 1999." go read (naomi rox) http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1328887,00.html
