As i mentioned yesterday ,I have been at war with the Ch Scientology for several years and they have various ways of fighting.
One is to capture my computor and post comments in my alias.If it sounds drunk or crazy,it may not be mine.

Side cross makes a very wise statement in that the true internet should not have to worry about money,but I,for juan,do.

You are not alone; this is a letter from today's NYT.

To the Editor:

“Across Nation, Housing Costs Rise as Burden” (front page, Oct. 3) paints a disturbing picture. But if one uses what is a more realistic and telling measure than the standard 30 or 50 percent of income standard, the picture is considerably more disturbing.

That alternative is labeled the market-basket or shelter poverty measure. We look at the entire range of basic family expenditures — not just housing, but also food, clothing, health care and transportation.

Using government data formerly furnished by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it was estimated several years ago that as many as 15 million American families cannot afford to spend a single penny for housing if they are to meet these other non-shelter basic needs.

Such unconscionable situations simply should not exist in America. When will we begin to take housing affordability seriously?

Al Gore for president.He is our man Lord CM.

Yes, he is. But he's beginning to look a little puffy, sort of like William Shatner in the Priceline ads.

I wonder if he's been drinking Tennessee whiskey or maybe eating too many carbohydrates.

He is needed. Though I guess it's still unclear if he's wanted. There was some news about Kerry being certain to run again. My only thought at that was, "please don't".

I totally lost it for him when he went out to Ohio and did the "Saddam Hussein pose" on some fellow's porch, with a hunting shotgun and a thug-like hat on. George Washington would have never done something like that. I doubt even Teddy Roosevelt would have. Even Nixon wouldn't have. Oh my.

Well, if he must, I just hope he plays it with a little more gravitas this time.

C"om Lord Cm,at least he'll legalize pot.

Either J.C. Watts or Richardson from New Mexico-the son of a Boston Banker and a Mexican woman.
