Found the Variety article on MSNBC here. 8:01:19 PM

From Variety: Michael Moore, who didn't endear himself to the Oscar audience, will doubtless arouse further ire with his next documentary. Project will depict the murky relationship between President Bush's father and the family of Osama bin Laden. And it will suggest that the bin Laden family was greatly enriched by that association. Moore is making a deal with Mel Gibson's Icon Prods. to finance "Fahrenheit 911," a docu that will trace why the U.S. has become a target for hatred and terrorism. It will also depict alleged dealings between two generations of the Bush and bin Laden clans that led to George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden becoming mortal enemies. **** Sorry no link to the article, I read it off LexisNexis subscription service.  I'm all for capitalism and the right to free speach, but why the heck is Mel Gibson getting involved in this deal?  I thought he was a Republican and Bush supporter.  Why give money to a guy that will certainly bash and ridicule Bush any chance he gets? 8:01:17 PM

From the Texas Department of Information Resources:  Guidelines for Lease vs. Purchase of Information Technologies (here). DIR conducted a study of the issue of leasing versus purchasing information technologies as directed by the General Appropriations Act of the 75th Legislature. One of the Legislature's requirements was the development of guidelines for making the lease versus purchase decision to be used by state agencies in evaluating cost alternatives. 8:01:10 PM
