Big Brother, Alive and Well
You already know your credit record weighs heavily in the interest rates you pay for your home, car, and plastic. Now your credit rap sheet is playing a bigger role than ever in your humdrum life.
Home and auto insurers are now consulting credit scores to determine premiums. Your borrowing history may even be used by cell phone carriers and utility companies to decide if you are worthy of using their services without paying a premium. Scary? Heck, yeah. Forget your stellar driving record and whether or not you can afford basic electricity, let alone a hefty fee because you were late paying a few bills back in the 1990s.

In a 60 Minutes interview with Mike Wallace, Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward discloses previously unknown information from his new book about how the president and his cabinet prosecuted the war on terror in the weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Woodward interviewed Mr. Bush in August at the president's ranch in Crawford, Texas.
"He said, 'One of the things I learned is, the vision thing matters,'" Woodward tells 60 Minutes about what Mr. Bush told him.
And his vision includes getting rid of the evil from what he calls the axis of evil: Iraq, Iran, North Korea. Talking with Woodward, Mr. Bush dropped all pretense of diplomatic language as he tore into North Korea's leader Kim Jong II. And the President permitted Woodward to tape record his interview.
John Robb says this interview has changed his view of the future.

The Patriots are in the gray area of not bad and not good. 500 ball at this stage of the season isn't bad but it won't be good enough to win the division. Everyone on the team needs to put out that extra effort to find a way to win each game from now on.
