...What will we be thinking about next Monday? Well, with a positive GDP number, fears of technical recession (two straight quarters of negative growth) will be officially dissipate. (Unless you're in manufacturing, in which case you've been in one for about a year.) But Wall Street has known that for months, and what it's looking for - some sign of a recovery they can time their stock-picking to - it won't find this week...

The state of Nevada can veto Bush's decision, but the veto can be overridden if both houses of Congress pass resolutions approving the site. And that's where...
...Gephardt huddled with Democrats in a packed basement room off the House chamber, waving a news story reporting that the National Republican Congressional Committee had raked in $39 million the first six months of this year, twice what its Democratic counterpart collected. Republicans are winning the money chase and unless Democrats halt it with campaign reforms, "we're going to loose" seats in the House Gephardt agrued. "That's the bottom line...
