* OFF TOPIC * OFF TOPIC * OFF TOPIC * In response to "Time Magazine's" Person of the Year, I present my own personal awards for worst performances of 2000 1. Ariel Sharon - for his calculated fall visit to an Islamic holy site in Jerusalem to promote violence and instability in the middle east - Ariel Sharon, truly a man without a conscience. 2. Al Gore - for completely blowing his huge advantage in the Presidential election of 2000 (and to the weakest candidate for President since Alfred E Neuman). 3. Former Vice President Dan Quayle - for not having had to even think about him for some time. 4. Carly Fiorina - for having the smarts to bail out of Lucent before the roof fell in completely - only to accelerate the ongoing mess at Hewlett Packard. 5. Cherie Blair, wife of Tony Blair - for her commitment to her husband's political career - having another baby at age 45. 6. former Massachusetts Governor William Weld - for leaving Massachusetts as the laughing stock of the nation with Governor Paul Cellucci and Lt Governor Jane Swift. 7. Former Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan - for winning a seat in the U.S. Senate while deceased. 8. C Michael Armstrong - bye bye from the share holders at A T & T - it won't be long now. 9. Xerox Corporation - bye bye and special notice for not utilizing the best technology machine of all time - Xerox PARC Labs. 10. George Herert Walker Bush and Barbara Pierce Bush for foisting your son on us to begin with.
