Hmmm. Could this approach work in dealing with the Bushies?
Dr. Harvey Karp has a novel approach to communicating with toddlers. Think of them as Neanderthals and chimpanzees.

Europe to slap BillG upside the head
Microsoft Corp. failed on Thursday to reach a deal with the European Commission setting the stage for a landmark antitrust ruling next week that will brand the software giant an abusive monopolist.
About time! Our flaccid courts have done little to stop Microsoft. It appears Europe will be doing quite a lot.

Lack of water a serious threat in US
Above-average snowfall has soothed drought worries for some states, but for others in the Southwest, the lack of water is still a serious threat.
Areas in New Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Nevada are of particular concern to officials, who said yesterday, March 16, that prolonged drought will cause serious problems in coming years.
This drought has been going on for several years now, and here in L.A., we got little rain during our rainy season. Not that it matters, as our water comes from hundreds of miles away, often from different states. Is this a sustainable model? No.

General sacked by Bush says he wanted early and free elections
Jay Garner, the US general abruptly dismissed as Iraq’s first occupation administrator after a month in the job, says he fell out with the Bush circle because he wanted free elections and rejected an imposed programme of privatisation.
Lordy, which is worse, allowing Iraqis to vote for those Halliburton, er, the US government might not approve of - or, gasp, not privatizing everything, whether they like it or not?

Bush blunder # 481
“Our cowboy mentality has failed us miserably in Venezuela,” said Fadel Gheit, an energy industry analyst at Oppenheimer & Company in New York. “We could have pumped up Chávez to be our back-alley oil reserve but instead we squandered our attention and resources elsewhere. We’re paying for having botched Venezuela.”
