...workers cited a catch-22 situation, saying they would not be able to decertify from the union until the contract, which includes a 20-month wage freeze, a reduction in vacation time and a decrease in sick pay, is 90 days from expiration...
...appear to lift the spirits of the Palestinian leader. At the White House press conference his expression was glazed, his skin gray and drawn. He canceled a press conference of his own, and at a dinner at the Egyptian embassy, Arafat behaved even more dispiritedly. "He looked sick and incapable of focusing," said a guest at the meal.

Who is this rich, anti-gay, anti-choice, pro-corporal- and capital-punishment zealot to tell people who struggle every day to get by about "'moral poverty' born of negligent parenting, welfare dependency and too easy divorce"? I am sick of the crop of rich Republicans who hypocritically sermonize about the decline in "family values," when their values translated into actions destroy the families...
