This is taken from the Project for the Old American Century, (P.O.A.C.,) One of the best of the websites that list multiple-Must-Read news listings. "This weekend we'll focus on John Negroponte after some very important headlines -ed" Very few news sites do a better job than the P.O.A.C., They do need much more exposure, and better support, within this community of us political newshounds, and knowledge-spreaders. A lot of the more up to date and in depth items that I post here in this blog, I quite often originally found the reference at the P.O.A.C.  It is well worth one's time to visit it daily.

With that, the place exploded, and 500 students stormed out. The rest of them then started chanting, “Bush! Bush! Bush!”
