#1 I know that this is off topic, but has anybody heard how Fred fared with Hurricane Isabel? We are concerned.

#4 Frank, have another cuppa! 8^). Yep, I think Fred is having trouble. May be power, may be water, may be the missus saying "getting this place back in order is more important than your computer". News has over six million that have either lost power, or are only recently getting power back. Not surprising - I wonder how many trees are down, branches are across power lines, poles knocked over, even whole transformer stations that need major repair. We were without power for over two weeks after Audrey, and even lost power overnight when a hurricane struck the UK in 1987.
We also don't seem to be getting all those juicy articles from the Pak and other Mideast press, and there's no Kashmir Korpse Kount today.

#5 OP - I bet you're right - our San Diego paper had a pic of this moron calling on a cell, trying to get a tree removal firm to cut/remove this huge tipped over tree on her porch ...as she's standing under it. Future Darwin winner, I'm sure

#7 But speaking at the International Monetary Fund conference in Dubai, U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow said Saturday that the U.S. fully supports the PAâs efforts to bring peace and
economic stability and prosperity to the Palestinian people.

There's only one problem with the PA's approach: they're trying to do it over the carcass of Israel, and as far as I'm concerned, that is UNACCEPTABLE.
