Overheard on the Web, and other Web links
From The Herald's Research Editor

Wednesday, December 29, 2004

And, in politics:

Failure magazine has announced its Failure of the Year, and awards it to: The American Voter. "In the next four years, Americans may not get what they asked for but will certainly get what they deserve."

The Christian Science Monitor finds that FEMA has paid $3.17 billion to Florida hurricane victims, while the U.S. has promised just millions to victims of the Asian earthquake and tsunami. Those FEMA payments were highlighted in another Florida newspaper's report recently, and some observers think they helped president Bush get the Florida vote.
