...Bush had wrong: his math. They charge that the White House made some convenient assumptions--including an unlikely 3.2% growth rate for 2002--to pad its budget by a few extra billion. They say the Administration's projection that its tax cut will cost $1.35 trillion is a wild understatement. A new study by the International Monetary Fund buttresses their argument. It puts the cost of the tax cuts at closer to $2.5 trillion. Which means that, with honest accounting, Bush's budget would already be nibbling at the Social Security trust fund...

No, anyone with at least an arm's-length worth of objective distance from this market had to figure this was another "sucker's rally," a wild and temporary burst of optimism from traders and investors who closed their eyes, crossed their fingers and bought on Friday because, well, it's August and the boss was already in the Hamptons anyway...
...drifter haphazardly hired as a killer in Red Rock West. With a personality that mixed yelping hound dog with doleful hangdog, Cage raised moping to an art. He suggested a man wrestling with himself to hide the psycho loner or lover within. He was sweet on the surface and wild at heart...
