He's trying to be a Dictator, Jeff. He gets to pay them any way he wishes.

Suck programs would be local, not national.

I don't know anyone in the world besides you who would call their own plans "suck." And besides, isn't it big government regardless of whether the Federal Govm't does it or if a librarian with a dictatorship complex does it?
Actually, I'm surprised -- and, granted, hopeful -- by the liberal slant Bush has taken -- namely, Federal funds to the families of the victims. I don't think Bush'll run as a liberal next election, but, hey, he's getting there.

No, the REALLY sucky programs CALL for even distribution (without even input.)
Although, I'm not saying that every state SHOULDN'T have a suck program... the problem is finding suitable volunteers to man.. er.. woman it.
Anyway. no more anti-Gore statements from me. It's certainly a possibility that he could be handling this as well as Bush is.
But I'm glad I don't have to find out. I mean, after his LAST traumatic loss, the guy went into seclusion for eight months, and came back wearing that godawful beard!

I don't want to jump into this deligtfully tactful argument, but regarding "how well Bush is handling this."
In my opinion, we don't know how well he's handling this. I've no doubt that the past several days have been spent putting people into positions in Afganistan and other countries, and such. But we haven't seen what his response is going to be, apart from declaring "a war on terroism", which is a vague, and utimately irrelevent thing to say.
Yes, he's done well by not immedietly bombing everywhere were people have beards, but I don't think we'll know how well he's done overall for a couple of days, after there has been an actual US response.
I'm holding off judgement until then.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well, backburnering the "bomb everyone with beards" campaign was a good move given Gore was sitting right behind him at that memorial service. . . 8)

Are we even sure Bush is handling anything at all? For all we know, he might just sit around waiting for people to tell him what to do...

By that "logic", I could say that Al Gore is a robot. In fact, I'd have far more evidence.
