A transcript from Lou Dobbs' show last night on CNN: PETER VILES, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): What if you could solve the manufacturing crisis with the stroke of a pen, instantly create millions of new manufacturing jobs Well, behold, the future of American manufacturing.

Polk, Louisiana, President Bush thanked American soldiers for their service, saying, "In the war, America depends on our military to meet the dangers abroad and to keep our country safe. The American people appreciate this sacrifice." And while this tribute is heartwarming, it has not been matched with the kind of resources that show appreciation. On the contrary, President Bush has refused to adequately fund some of the most important...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100258/2004/02/19.html#a956 (Untitled)- February 17, 2004 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!http://radio.weblogs.com/0100258/2004/02/16.html#a955 (Untitled)- February 17, 2004 MS dominance poses security threat Biology stirs software 'monoculture' debate Dan Geer lost his job, but gained his audience.
