[C. G. Estabrook]

There was a series of purportedly anti-war "town meetings" (including 
one in Champaign) last night -- organized by the Democratic party -- 
that seemed to include a good number of people who have not noticed that 
fact, John.  Maybe they'll be edified by this morning's headlines, which 
point out almost casually that, by the way, Bush wants $50 billion more 
for the the Iraq war, and "Planned Request Signals Confidence That 
Congress Won't Prevail on Pullout" -- which, decoded, means that the 
Democrats won't make any  trouble about it. --CGE
