Actually I don't live in Seattle and have relatives from the Soviet Union so I am quite well informed as to what is going on in this country. It is Marxist lite If you people ever criticized Big Brother than you would have some grounds to stand on. Actually you are clueless. In most cases Big Business doesn't hurt me. I can buy from Dell or Compaq. However when government points its finger at me and says pay up serf I bow my head and pay up. Also if you notice it is to the benefit of government to have big corporations. Did you notice that the small business community votes Republican. It is because the Democrats who claim they are for the small guy place so many burdens and rules that only the big corporations can pay the money to afford the lawyers and accountants as well as the lobbyists. Try to give me an answer to that

Like father like daughter.....Bush Twins Investigated for Alcohol By NATALIE GOTT Associated Press Writer AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Police said Wednesday they were investigating whether President Bush's 19-year-old twin daughters illegally tried to buy alcohol at a restaurant. One of the twins, Jenna Bush, pleaded no contest to a charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol in an unrelated incident less than a month ago. Police responded to a 911 call Tuesday evening from the manager of Chuy's restaurant in Austin who said minors were trying to buy alcohol. Police spokesman Kevin Buchman said officers were told Jenna Bush tried to buy drinks using a third person's identification card. Her sister, Barbara Bush, was present but did not show any identification. ``As no offense was witnessed by APD officers, following routine procedures, further investigation is required to determine if any charges will be filed,'' a police statement said. Police would not give any information on the whereabouts of the daughters' Secret Service agents. The Secret Service also would not comment on the location of the agents. The legal drinking age in Texas is 21. Police and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission are investigating. It is unclear what the punishment would be since it is unclear what type of ticket, if any, might be issued. Jenna Bush's attorney, William P. Allison, would not comment on the matter, said an employee in his office. White House spokesman Scott McClellan declined comment. ``If it involves the daughters in their private lives, it is a family matter,'' he said. When asked whether President Bush was aware of this latest incident, McClellan repeated the statement. Mark Dore, a manager at the restaurant, referred all questions to the corporate headquarters, which did not return telephone calls seeking comment. Jenna Bush's earlier no contest plea stemmed from a ticket police issued while checking for minors in possession of alcohol at nightclubs along the popular East Sixth Street entertainment district April 27. She was ordered to pay $51.25 in court costs, serve eight hours of community service and attend six hours of alcohol awareness classes. John Wall, who prosecuted that case, said if Jenna Bush is issued a ticket in this case her punishment might be revoked and authorities might seek a conviction. She also could have her driver's license suspended, he said. Jenna Bush is a student at the University of Texas at Austin. Barbara Bush attends Yale University.
