request for quotes

One of my infamous associates is constructing an article for a “national women’s magazine” and needs some quotes from Bush and Kerry about women - the women in their lives, their stances on women's issues, etc.  In addition to the quote she needs source. 

Please reply if you got ‘em.

this party needs a better dj

its convention time!  i prefer the live feed off of the convention website myself.  i just saw some old women with patriotic boas swinging to "dancing in the streets" as performed by the official convention band [the soundbites -- record out early November 2004]. 

Terry McAuliffe just said something like "weapons of mass deception" refering to republican political ads...  then the band starts up again with a version of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?" 

I hope the republicans booked Nugent.  That would rule.

adaptive cruise control

The Economist has a small story about this wonderful new technology called adaptive cruse control. Basically, you can sit in traffic and the car will automatically adjust its speed to the car in front to maintain a set distance. However, the article doesn't point out that this is not a new concept at all. I've been using transportation that maintains a constant distance from the car in front of me for years. It’s called a train.
