Much like everyone in the US, I agreed with his Holcombe Rucker article. Everything else he or Jemele (In my opinion, the female Scoop or 2nd Oprah.

In no way does this negatively impact AI in any reasonably deleterious way. <br /><br />In the worst case (from AI's perspective) he's stuck playing out a contract he signed for Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398482677532369336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-84148795910548127012006-12-13T17:23:00.000-05:002006-12-13T17:23:00.000-05:00You're right.
