...coal-fired electric plants in Texas history for energy giant TXU. "With 6 million people pouring into Texas over the next decade, this state needs about two of these big power plants a year just to keep up with demand," reckons McCall, as he lays out plans to spend about $10 billion by 2011 for 11 of them--every single one using coal to stoke the fires...
...hearted limitation, terrorists can be sure that they will probably succeed at sneaking liquids on-board anyway. Screeners conduct full bag searches on less than one out of four passengers, and they are unlikely to distinguish a three-ounce from a five-ounce bottle. Moreover, the time that they spend ferreting out that dastardly four-ounce container (a full ounce over the limit!) detracts from the time they can spend looking for real threats...

The R.N.C. plans to lay out more than $60 million on turnout efforts and advertising vs. the more than $14 million set aside by Democratic National Committee (D.N.C.) chairman Howard Dean. Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, who has been critical of Dean's approach, complained at a D.N.C. fund-raising luncheon in Washington last week that the G.O.P. "is pouring tens of millions of dollars into races...
