anti-trust me
"Twenty years ago, writing about antitrust crimes in the Michigan Law Review, Easterbrook and Fischel, then both professors at the University of Chicago, wrote that managers not only may, but should, violate the rules when it is profitable to do so. And it is clear that they believedthat this rule should apply beyond just antitrust."

puffed out
"Combs is a Renaissance man, but only by the standards of a P.T. Barnum world. Rarely has someone become so famous by being so mediocre at so many things—a boy wonder without any wonder. Puffy is a famous rapper who can't rap, and he's becoming a movie actor who can't act. He's a restaurateur who serves ho-hum food; a magazine publisher whose magazine was immediately forgettable (Notorious—see, you've forgotten it already); a music producer whose only talents are stealing old songs and recycling the work of his dead friend the Notorious B.I.G."
group pug
"The McLaughlin Group is about to "celebrate" its twentieth anniversary. We might as well "celebrate" the discovery of anthrax."
thrax tracks
"A biological weapons control expert yesterday refused to back down from her claim that the FBI has a prime suspect in last autumn's deadly anthrax letters episode, despite strenuous denials by the bureau."

"We look forward to working with Enron," he said.

iceman
"I thought that if you exchange very light particles such as electrons with protons, it must have some significant consequences," he said. "It seemed that if we could somehow change the electrical properties of ice, we should be able to change its mechanical properties — and vice versa."

federal prosecutors trying to jail drug paraphenalia maker on unclear charges or maybe im just stupid. or maybe the journalist was high because i cant figure out what he did wrong, although it looks to deal with the proximity issue beetween ye olde water pipes and magazines whose contents, i assume, are protected under free speech. put those two things in a room, and like nitroglycerin mixing with oxygen, it explodes into criminal behavior. but first, there is a spark, and its that ridiculous prohibition on drug related speech in headshops, its the "dont ask, dont tell" policy for drugs. you may legally purchase the item as long as you dont relate it to illicit usage. isnt there some sort of free speech issue at stake? i wonder if they can bring accessory charges on the store because they are acknowledging the use of the item for illegal behavior.
the lawyer for the defendants claim that his client didnt sell to headshops is equally ridiculous. i understand that he is advocating for his client and manuevering around a series of arcane restrictions but....
if the world domination thing is true though, ill know it all was worth it. i didnt realize that aliens were using drugs to take control of planet earth. its a fiendish plot. good thing those boys in iowa are on the case. better yet, stick to corn and crop circles.
