...looked at both candidates' positions on their websites, just to see if I agreed with this group. Gore's platform, except maybe a little bit in high technology, is so vague that it's hard to tell if he has a clue about small business. Bush's is a little more specific, but again, a lot of his proposals are from an aerial view of 50,000 ft. They are on topics that really don't affect small-business people and entrepreneurs trying to start their own businesses...

Except for a carefully orchestrated - and tightly controlled - photo op on Day 1, all the reporters have been kept off the secluded grounds of Camp David.

Telstar - Joe Meek (performed...

...freakish string of injuries (and they are freakish - what are the odds that both Mike Piazza and Alex Rodriguez would suffer concussions in the last weekend before the game?) seem pretty legit; it doesn't look like anyone's faking it just to get out of playing. Except, now that you mention it, it does seem a little strange that Junior Griffey, who played for the Reds Sunday, can participate in the home run derby today but not play tomorrow... although the Kid has for years been famously reluctant to play in the Midsummer Classic - something about wanting to spend...
