Bush encourages debate; not inflexible
The letter to the Boston Globe says it all:
Editor,
Kudos to the New York Times News Service and its affiliate, the Boston Globe, for publishing "US aides fought over data mining (July 29, A4)".
At a time when the liberal print media distorts every President Bush story to reflect negatively on the President, I applaud the objectivity of the Boston Globe.
Specifically, the Globe reported that a "furious legal debate" raged within the Bush Administration over the National Security Agency's terrorist surveillance program and other data mining techniques.
Additionally, the Globe reported that President Bush authorized "modifications to the survellance program" subsequen to the debate.
Contrary to the daily whine of liberal extremists that President Bush is surrounded by "yes" men and women who are either incapable of offering differing opinions or who are presumably admonished not to and that the President is stubborn and inflexible, the New York Times and its affiliates have courageously reported how far these whines are from the truth.
I encourage the New York Times companies to continue to bring us stories of how the President invites debate and opposing opinions. (End of letter.)
Unless, of course, the reporting by the New York Times and its affiliates is wrong?

So, basically, you get no comments because you get no visitors.
To revisit a subject you raised a couple of times a few weeks ago, Joe Torre was quoted today as saying that A-Rod has been "tight as a drum" since hitting no. 499. So, I guess he for one thinks there is a big difference between the 499 HR club and the 500 HR club. There is a 500 HR club, and not a 499 HR club, because psychologically, 500 just sounds like a lot more than 499. That's why 80% of everything you buy ends in a 99 (e.g., $3.99, $19.99, $299, etc.).
Conscience,
The number assinged to A-Rod's last home run was not made official until this past weekend. Back on June 28 or so, the NY/Balt game was suspended. Subsequent to that game A-Rod hit 7 home runs bringing his home run total to 499. The June 28 game was resumed over this past weekend. If A-Rod had hit a home run in that suspended game only that home run would have officially been his 493 and the other seven would have slid up one in the "count". The person that thought (s)he had the 499 ball would have officially had the 500 ball. The person that thought (s)he had the 500 ball would have offically had the 493 ball.
