...Last fall, mail center casual employee Gamal Mohamed approached HUCTW and said he was doing full-time work without full-time status...
...stare of the alpha-man down pat--if you stay away from pop quizzes about foreign leaders, that is. Poor form, of course, but can you blame him? When you're so concerned about raising money for your campaign and touting moral education in schools, it's easy to fall a bit behind in world affairs. But then again, George W.'s already an alpha-male and last I heard he is still eligible to wear navy blue in public. But Americans wouldn't let him off the hook that easily.

More snow will fall, and the bright snow cover will reflect more of the sun's energy back into space, making life even chillier. Beyond that, the Gulf Stream is tied into other ocean currents, and shutting it down could rearrange things in a way that would cause less overall evaporation. Because atmospheric H20 is an important greenhouse gas, its loss would mean even more dramatic cooling--a total of perhaps as much...
