The y2k bug is still alive and is starting to bite, it's glitching, mangling and chomping it is leaving in its wake is starting to occur more often, attacking web sites, software applications, and now even the power station. I expect the y2k bug to start going on a power pill rampage when the economy starts firing up it's system at it's full load.

Hung over more like it, except for the Islamic nations... them not drinking worries me a bit, I mean, what if after a big New Years celebration, they placed boomboxes all around the country and cranked them up to go off at 6 AM. "El Al Il Allah!!!...

This is a serious weakness that our country needs to address.. maybe Kosky?
