These bigger numbers remain relevant because no future Congress wants to commit political suicide by allowing this tax cut to expire. Simply stated, all of Washington knows many of these provisions are in effect permanent. The Big Lie is that it costs only $1.35 trillion. Since the real cost is much greater, future Administrations--and Congresses--will have to deal with a political nightmare: the real possibility of deficit spending a decade from now as baby boomers begin to retire en masse and sap the Social Security and Medicare systems...
Remember how hard you prayed in March? Please, God, give me just one little rally in tech stocks. I'll sell what I have left, I swear, and never again commit the sins of underdiversification and speculation. Well, you can throw that pledge on the scrap heap of desperate promises never kept. Tech is torrid. Again. You want in. Again. Yet this could turn into Bubble II, a sequel with nearly as much punch as the original.

Meanwhile, the creator of Dharma and Greg is developing a sitcom for Fox called Nathan's Choice, in which the hero faces a dilemma halfway through the show, the audience votes on his "choice" online and the second half of the show...
...higher calling than public service," both of which contradict the former Senator's religious views. Each morning at 8 he plays host to what he calls RAMP sessions--for Read, Argue, Memorize and Pray--in his office or conference room. From three to 30 participants chew over Bible passages, commit some to memory and finish with a prayer. Non-Christians are welcome, but many staff members consider the sessions inappropriate, given Ashcroft's position as guardian of the Constitution--including separation of church and state...
