Michael, Daryll, Brian, Cary, Fred and other opinionated political posters. The lack of political comments on this thread over the week-end has made this thread as interesting as the Martha Stewart section of K-Mart . There is nothing quite like telling someone whose views you don't approve of that, "they are full of it". (almost as good as a morning cup of coffee). Before this thread disintergrates into an ordinary, business commentary section on AMAT (I shudda, Coudda, Wudda tripe) I urge all loyal Republicans and Democrats to go back on the attack. I like it better when I know who my enemies are. Now here is something stupid: Business Week Suggests that Bush is not running the White House. But we (sort of) elected Bush to run the country -- not Cheney or Hughes or Rove. With the stock market tanking, the military stumbling from one confidence-eroding accident to another, and air travel such a disaster that America will become a virtual no-fly zone by 2012 (according to one report), it's time for George W. to take control, inspire some confidence, and lead the country back into prosperity. In fact, you can rest assured he'll do just that -- right after he gets back from his run. Jerome

G: Can always count on Fortune.com. Although directly under Top story headline under 'More Stories' is: 10 Tech Trends to Bet On The big news: Tech lives. But the Internet boom is going through a painful period of transition. Fortune's experts lay out niches to mine, as well as 16 stock picks (and four pans) that could pay off. In any event, writer of headline story is really doing the old tongue-in-cheek kind of thing. One sentence really sums up the story: 'So if all goes according to form, this article should be enough to calm jittery investors and start moving everybody's retirement accounts back into positive territory. No need to thank us--we're just doing our civic duty.' Cute, now they can claim victory either way. though it almost becomes slapstick by last line: 'Which means what, exactly? Dunno. But we'll reiterate our bold pronouncement: This bull is dead. And now that we've said that, we're really, really looking forward to the Dow hitting 20,000 next week.' I've seen better 'bits' on the Yahoo! boards. Ugg. RO
