Well, actually, a slightly funky criss-cross style. I used to do my Dr. Martens with a straight pattern though. The bow tie is intriguing. I may attempt this in the near future with one of my pairs of dress shoes.

On Tuesday, the Senate voted 90-9 to approve the landmark Homeland Security bill. Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., was one of the few senators voting against it, and in an address on the Senate floor, he raised fundamental questions about the need for the new agency and whether it will have the desired impact. What follows is the full transcript of his remarks during the conclusion of the Homeland Security debate.

At least one person in the Senate knew to call the kettle black.

Robert Byrd's Speech on the Homeland Security Bill

WASHINGTON, Nov 21 (Reuters) - The Bush administration has promised Israel $2.16 billion in military assistance in 2004, a slight increase over the $2.1 billion it has asked Congress to provide in 2003, the State Department said on Thursday.

"The administration fully appreciates the dangers Israel faces from proliferation and conventional arms build-up in the region, as well as acknowledges the substantial risks Israel has taken to pursue peace," a State Department statement said.

This is worth re-recommending simply because it's so unbelievable. The other humorous piece to this story is that the conservative right generally attacks the mainstream media for it's "liberal" bias.

Not that I was ever horribly impressed by Clinton, but he sure looks good after a couple years of Dubya.
