PerotCharts.com - a play on Perot's use of economic charts during his 1992 and 1996 presidential campaigns - includes a video of Perot, a blog and a chart presentation explaining the nation's economic problems. Perot says the nation's debt reached $9.4 trillion in April and is rising more than $1 billion a day. He calls the economic crisis far greater than anything since the Great Depression. -----------------------------------FCC Chairman Kevin Martin made his recommended that Sirius Satellite Radio's $3.8 billion buyout of rival XM Satellite Radio Holdings be allowed to proceed.

I wasn't one of the nearly 1 in 5 Americans who chose Henry Ross Perot in the 1992 general election--but I was tempted. It was the first presidential election I was eligible to vote in, so I took it oh, so seriously. Now sober nonetheless, Perot's colorful reference to the "crazy aunt down in the basement" reminds me of cORA M. “Cozy MAYo” ATWATER (072-30-4313) & Republican operative LEE ATWATER (248-94-1615). cORA's kid, Maxine M. DIXON, is unrelated to 5123 tel. suffix; 5586 or Our Community

Perot, I'm going for a look see. 24 channels given to non commercial and minority programming, hum thats a weird agreement. Banks and investment firms top executives make billions and when they flop I laugh. Ha HA ha!
