...Wall Street Journal in the morning to try and save that 75 cents a day. The best financial news I?ve had lately was that I never found the money to buy stock in AOL (battered along with the rest of the techs last week, it hit 77 Thursday, down from 170 in April). Risk capital? It's tough enough to find rent capital, and I?ll bet, boom or no boom, that I?m not alone...
...whip Tom Delay is proudly spending next year?s surplus "and then some" just to make sure there?s no money left for Clinton except for what he promised he wouldn?t touch. "We will negotiate with the President, after he vetoes the bills, on his knees," DeLay said Thursday.

Polls show that Americans overwhelmingly favor lower taxes -? who wouldn?t? - until they?re reminded that there?s only so much money to go around. Put a big tax cut against saving Medicare...
Just what we needed -? more network television. Hacking away some regulatory tangles that dated back to television?s infancy, the FCC decided Thursday to permit a single company or network to own more than one station in a given market. In those media markets with sufficient "media voices" -? at least eight individually owned TV outlets and a nice mix of cable, newspapers and radio ?- the remaining stations are up for grabs. Meaning a network giant like Fox can now have another channel for all those "Cops" reruns that we?ve been dying...
