           do about it in any case? Try not to worry too much about

           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

Against a backdrop of morning skies, the towers of the World Trade Center stand engulfed in flame from the impact of twin explosions. Clouds of smoke spew from the upper stories, all but obscuring the tip of what was once the epicenter of the New York City skyline. Servicemen in Iraq * 39 Western Firm Pulls Staff from Yanbu; Cautions * 40 Gunmen Kill Settler, Four Daughters Amid Gaza Vote * 41 American Trucker Free After 3 Weeks as Iraq Hostage * 42 Son of Ex-Dictator Seen Winning Panama Election * 43 More Breaking News * 44 Wire Service Photo Gallery Tech Jobs Partner 45 Today's the Day. If it weren't for the super-imposed images of the Oakland, California, hip-hop duo known as The Coup, the scene could pass for a remarkably precise replica of the horrific tragedy that befell New York City on Tuesday morning. The cover design predates Tuesday's twin attacks on the World Trade Center by months. And now that reality has in fact imitated art, The Coup's label, 75 Ark, is finding itself in a messy predicament. Luckily, she said, the release date of the CD, entitled Party Music, got pushed back 2 months from early September to November. In light of Tuesday's tragedy -- and a barrage of e-mails and phone calls regarding the image -- the label is now in the process of choosing a new album cover. Timing of the original album printing was disturbingly in sync with real-world events. The printers were set to crank out copies of the fiery World Trade Center image on Tuesday, Isabella said, when the label put in a last-minute call, urging them to stop the presses. The fictional picture depicted on the cover, it seemed, was a bit too close to the horrific images occupying the television screen. They're looking at pictures from an old photo shoot as well as an image based on the group's logo. However, the decision making is particularly difficult due to the fact that 75 Ark has been unable to reach officials with The Coup's publicist, 47 Girlie Action, which is located in lower Manhattan. The move to switch covers has not been without opposition. Coup founder Boots Riley said he argued with the label to keep the original design, which a distributor had threatened not to release. Chris Funk, The Coup's manager, said it's most likely that 75 Ark will prevail in its plan to change the cover, however. Adding to the confusion is the fact that the original CD cover had already gone out to members of the press, distributors and others. Before the album's release got pushed back to November, The Coup received reviews in several publications, including print editions of Wired Magazine, Spin and CMJ. Naturally, many of the reviews came accompanied with pictures of the original CD cover, complete with exploding buildings. Funk said The Coup, known for lyrics with an edgy, anti-establishment bent, chose the original cover for its powerful imagery. And, as was the case with The Coup's previous three releases, "Kill My Landlord," "Genocide and Juice" and "Steal This Album," not all harsh statements are meant to be taken at face value.
