That may have nothing to do with the topics on this book, but it had Rome in the name at least.<BR/><BR/>On a side note has anyone ever read a book called "The Control Room: Television calls the shots in Presidential Elections"? read it in college and have lost my copy. I may have to find a copy again. I believe it was written after the 96 electionBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493026363755740932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4336626138702181677.post-44759546651428465882008-12-21T20:21:00.000-08:002008-12-21T20:21:00.000-08:00Should already be linked properly, but let this be...Should already be linked properly, but let this be a reminder to everyone to check out your site!

Indeed, Opel's latest Corsa and Agila sub-compacts would be good competitors against the Japanese and Korean brands.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the main problem is GM was short-sighted in not going the extra mile and engineer the Opel cars to be compliant for use in North America.<BR/><BR/>Hindsight is 20/20 and more significant when it's the bottom of the 9th, two outs and two strikes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636323322642605547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4336626138702181677.post-69704476825790881402008-11-29T22:23:00.000-08:002008-11-29T22:23:00.000-08:00The change has been made, and the redesign is exce...The change has been made, and the redesign is excellent!

I've never quite understood why people always think that environmental interests are a partisan issue. You delve deeper, and that's a welcome viewpoint.<BR/><BR/>Liberal, conservative, business owner, employee...we all have to live on this planet, and we all have to face the same economic issues (unless you are super-rich, and most of those people don't blog).
