What nonsense. I hope someone sues SCO over this story. The whole thing is taking on increasingly absurd proportions. Still no evidence for SCO's claims, but they're already busily ripping people off.

That's just pure label fraud. Allegedly, the measures are supposed to reduce contributions to 13 percent by 2006. Nonsense. Why would the insurance companies do that if they're not forced to? And even if they did it contrary to expectations: what good does that do if the savings go toward a mandatory dental replacement insurance? And what about the other co-payments? 300 euros per hospital case - great, what's Grandma Kasulke supposed to do with her tiny pension? Sell the PC with the freshly installed Linux because the gallstones have to come out?
It's all rubbish, the mess politicians cobble together. Of course, the ordinary citizen has to foot the bill again. As usual, twice over - with higher fees and lower benefits.
People called the railway company out on that as advertising fraud. Politicians celebrate stuff like this as a major success.
... as Vinokourov had to painfully notice, he lost over 2 minutes. That's tough. But Armstrong also had to work hard. That he ultimately won at the finish line and put 40 seconds into Jan Ullrich is certainly also because he was probably riding mainly on adrenaline. After all, this was Armstrong's first crash in the Tour and not exactly a minor one, so the body's own doping certainly works very well. Incredible what these riders can pull off, even when they crash like Majo and Armstrong.
I think it's good that Ullrich waited for Armstrong. Okay, some will certainly argue that Ullrich waited too long, but ultimately he just gave Armstrong back what he had received from him back then. Simply a very nice gesture that shows these two riders really want to know who is stronger, not just who gets more luck.
And one thing is certain: the tension remains high until the last stage, because the overall victory will probably be decided on Saturday in the time trial. And that's also nice after Tours where the outcome was sometimes almost decided in the first week.
Ugh. Mud-slinging. They should face each other on the Tour rather than in the courtroom.
Wolfowitz is increasingly taking on the characteristics of Comical Ali. I mean, who else if not the Americans has interfered in Iraq in the most persistently disruptive way? It's simply absurd what kind of loss of reality politicians are capable of...
