The Core Dump
It updates the blog, or it gets the hose again.
Bush tough on crime
Hmm. The Pentagon says it has evidence that Haliburton overcharged the government $61 million for gas delivered to Iraq. In a tough, uncompromising stand, President Bush said, “If there’s an overcharge, like we think there is, we expect that money to be repaid.”
Whoa! Put down the hatchet!
So if somebody steals $61 million, they should pay it back and no hard feelings? No, how about this: They go to court, pay back the $61 million, pay punitive fines, and whoever inside Haliburton was behind this goes to pound-me-in-the-ass prison.
