2. distracted by the war on war on Xmas?

or by the latest bat scare, missing white girls, celebrity babies, TV sitcoms, product promos, etc.???

Not meaning "you" here, but in general I think this is why/how we "miss" stories or don't remember them--too much useless and stupid crap, like this latest war on war on Xmas, gets way too much of our attention.

3. $100 computers

and why is his brother at MIT developing $100 computers (designed by the pentagon) for the poor people of the world.

Or somewhere around that date. By a vote of 98-2 in the Senate. That's right, John Negroponte, was confirmed 98-2. Which was at least the 2nd time being confirmed by such a large margin. I think he was confirmed by a similar vote for the UN or Iraq. Maybe both.
