esp those poor souls from MCI

Friend of mine was a former MCI employee, had a bunch of WCOM stock, and rode it all the way down. He was going to use it to buy a boat and sail around the world. Now he's bicycling across North America instead.

Mr Bush gave me the impression that he was not being entirely honest, and worse, I don't think he's got the intellectual capacity to either care that the US/world economy is in such deep trouble, or the ability to work the world to recovery again.

I think Bush could be rather vulnerable in the next election. Not from Al Gore, but from a Giuliani/McCain dream ticket.

>> used to work for PSINet during the boom years (1998-2000) and you knew all this capacity being bought by these new emerging telcos would never be used to earn revenues<<

Hey, my son worked for PSInet too - his straightforward, no-nonsense, man-behind-the-desk observations helped a lot by supporting my gut feeling about the fiber hype.

He still owns some stock options; Unfortunately, they're no-frills, Xerox-copy type, so we cant even have them framed...
