It has been corrected on the article in question. But it looks like I will need to be vigilant on each article.

They've been using "@gwb43.com" an RNC conection.<BR/><BR/>So when the White House provided emails to the Fitzgerld and Gonzales inquiries, you have to ask yourself if they kept all the gwb.43 stuff? Sounds like breaking the law to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-38441225329047441962007-03-21T22:32:00.000-07:002007-03-21T22:32:00.000-07:00Thanks for your comments, Dante.

So, I know exactly what you mean.<BR/><BR/>They froze in awe every time a siren hurled, echoing between the tall building. In Manhattan, they spent so much time looking up, they miss the abysmal quality of the street pavement. They noticed how old and rotten was the NY subway system. <BR/><BR/>And I was praying for no accidents happening to them while crossing the streets, for they will get a painful crash course on American "best health care system in the world"...<BR/><BR/>They looked at American snickers like they were "must have". But to me, they all looked "vintage" style. They looked "eighties", while European's Pumas in European store look always so futuristic.<BR/><BR/>My brothers wanted some Levi's jeans. But they were just like they used to be: the same bland 501's for fifty bucks.<BR/><BR/>So I took them to an outlet store where it is sold... European jeans, Guess, Diesel, etc... So much more trendy for 39 bucks.<BR/><BR/>And, while they were in awe before every single limousine passing by, their car talks focused more on BMWs than Mustangs...<BR/><BR/>Even if "grass looks always greener on the other side", even to them, one thing still shocked the hell out of them... i mean, they constantly talked about it like it was something absolutely insane and crazy: The abundant presence of American flags all over the country, blocks after blocks, front porches after front porches, cars after cars... They could not get over it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-11287088682352769252007-03-21T06:16:00.000-07:002007-03-21T06:16:00.000-07:00You are right, Len, about the French not being rig...You are right, Len, about the French not being right all the time.
