Then, after it is installed, all you do is click right and hit spell check to tidy up your spelling. What's great is that you can just take your best shot at spelling the word correctly, and if it's close enough spell checker will catch it.It even has subpoena...But in my case I pronounce it "supeena", so I had a hard time locating the correct spelling. erinyes..If you are using a explorer browser you can download free spell checker for IE.

The Bush impeachment begins in earnest in February. Hillary Clinton was one of those dems who authorized giving this Pres the authority to start an illegal war. This is what will be her downfall in the '08 race, poor judgment. She announces she will not run in Febraury. After the natural passing of GHW Bush in March, 2007, Bush will be ousted in April with the illegal wiretapping used as a basis for impeachment along with Bush's complicity in the Diebold fraud in Ohio in '04 exposed by Mr. Blackwell, indicted in May. Cheney will resign after the Senate votes to impeach him for theft involving Haliburton and its no-bid contracts in Iraq and new Orleans in June. Webb will be a Presidential candidate. McCain will decide not to run. The end. John Bolton’s U.N. resignation will set up a North Korea confrontation. Condie Rice will resign by 12/11/06.

Said this before, and will repeat it: The Military Commissions Act, in itself, is unconstitutional, is contrary to the Supreme's rulings of June, '06, and was initially held up by some big names Republican congress-critters. That it suddenly got rubber-stamped and hurriedly passed [McCain and Warner and Linsay Graham suddenly went silent] by the out-going Bush enabler majority is significant. It carries within it a specific language designed to 'hopefully' give the Bush administration criminals a retroactive 'defense' plea bargaining chip re: their design, sponsorship and execution of torture. The retroactive part is pathetic, legislating a new law about torture AFTER your buddy commits to a policy of torture, and AFTER pictures of the crimes are circulating world-wide. There are, as Waxman said, so many crimes to investigate. I would prefer that the investigators go right for the jugular vein that carries this 'torture mentality' blood, bad blood that still circulates the globe and tarnishes and threatens our future.

Maybe we should narrow the possibilities with an IQ rest and unannounced drug/alcohol/sobriety testing.
