Who are you going to be lambasting in 2008? There isn't a single presidential wanna-be with any track record positive to any ASD issue. http://tinyurl.com/fc2mg http://tinyurl.com/qnewm

I just think this is so much more than just an ASD issue... the devil is in the details.

Hey, wasn't Texas A & M included in the Homeland Security Act's midnight riders too. http://tinyurl.com/el6n3 (August 11, 2006)—Four Texas sites including Texas A & M University in College Station have made the first cut in a bid to be home to a proposed federal lab that would study the nation's most dangerous disease threats. (Google search Homeland Security)

http://tinyurl.com/hvkgf Eli Lilly, once the largest maker of Thimerosal, is a major target in a spate of lawsuits filed since 2000. The company stopped making the product in 1980 but continued to buy it from other manufacturers and to resell it for another decade.

Company Spokesman Sagebiel said Lilly was "surprised when the language was inserted" because it had not actively lobbied for it in recent months. But he said the company "believes it is a positive step to help assure that manufacturers are protected from lawsuits that are without merit or scientific evidence."

Diamond, a spokesman for retiring House Majority Leader K. Armey (R-Tex.), said the provision was inserted because "it was something the White House wanted. It wasn't [Armey's] idea." But Diamond said the principle is good. "We don't want companies to be steered away from the business of making things that can save lives," he said.

Elsewhere in the bill, Republicans incorporated the entire Cyber Security Enhancement Act, which the House passed overwhelmingly in July but which made little progress in the Democratic-controlled Senate. To strengthen law enforcement's hand in protecting the security of computer communications, the legislation would increase penalties for hacking and other malicious computing. Privacy advocates have criticized some provisions, particularly those that would lower the threshold for Internet service providers to give law enforcement agencies customer communications without a court order.

The bill would make hacking punishable by as much as life in prison if the offender "knowingly or recklessly causes or attempts to cause death.''

Cut from the bill was a Democratic-backed provision that would have prevented the new federal agency from giving contracts to U.S.-based companies that use offshore addresses to avoid corporate taxes.

GOP aides said the language originally offered by Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), and now incorporated in the bill, gives Texas A & M the inside track in hosting the first university center on homeland security, to be established within one year. DeLay was elected Wednesday to serve as the House majority leader in the 108th Congress.

So what on earth could these two seemingly unrelated riders possibly have in common? http://tinyurl.com/flxvx http://tinyurl.com/jrqaq http://tinyurl.com/anukl

The Bush name just keeps popping up...For some strange reason, I think he and his father get it! http://tinyurl.com/zthob

http://tinyurl.com/lucjh One odd thing in Bush's biography, that struck me immediately, was his odd journey from the Farm to the Pharmacy.The "Farm" being the CIA's training facility in Virginia. The "Pharmacy" being Eli Lilly, a major pharmaceutical company.Bush was Director of the CIA in 1976-1977, and became a Director of Eli Lilly from 1977-1978. A peculiar mix, I thought. The man was a veritable Renaissance Republican- such varied talents and interests. What was the connection, I wondered? So I decided to do some research on Eli Lilly.
