Rise To De Bait
Monday October 2, 2000
- TITLE: "Rise To De Bait" I don't know, I just needed a pun on the word "debate" and that came out.
- "…the debates, these days." From the movie "Fletch" starring Chevy Chase in which Fletch says, "…it's all about ball bearings, these days."
- "…Ken Herman …" Herman actually said this in New Hampshire right after Gary Bauer fell off the back of the stage at the pancake flipping contest which no reporter saw until they could get a look at the tape that the TV crews had gotten.
- "…register in advance…" It's a pretty painless process.
 When you get to that point, you should click the choice which will have SpeakOut automatically send you an e-mail to remind you to fire up your home computer and get in on the poll.

- Mullings "Catchy Caption of the Day"
Quoting from his book, "Earth in the Balance, Gore said, "… and I said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."
- " …denial-of-service …" This are utilities which allow hackers to "hit" a site with such ferocity that no one else can get in. Yahoo, e-Bay, and others were victims of these attacks.
