Edwards Hits A Homer
In response to Cheney's idiotic comment about Ebay sales not being included in economic figures, Edwards states: “If we only included bake sales and how much money kids make at lemonade stands, this economy would really be cooking,”

Powell Slams Bush
"The policies determining who would be drafted and who
would be deferred, who would serve and who would
escape, who would die and who would live, were an
anti-democratic disgrace. . . I am angry that so many
sons of the powerful and well-placed. . . managed to
wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units. Of
the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class
discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the
ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe
equal allegiance to our country."
from "My American Journey," Colin Powell's 1995 memoir
Thanks to Faun Otter who said: "Thanks to MCM for the heads up on that quote."

Cheney: Economic Stats Miss EBay Sales
CINCINNATI (AP) - Indicators measure the nation's unemployment rate, consumer spending and other economic milestones, but Vice President Dick Cheney says it misses the hundreds of thousands who make money selling on eBay.
"That's a source that didn't even exist 10 years ago," Cheney told an audience in Ohio. "Four hundred thousand people make some money trading on eBay."

“There is still that singular perfection, and it’s perfect in part because it seemed, at the time, so clearly to promise more. Now she knows: That was the moment, right then. There has been no other.” – The Hours, Michael Cunningham.
