I've seen this movie, this "Surge" movie. It's called "Staying the Course," and it stars President "Daydream Believer" as a square-jawed fighter pilot who refuses to give up. And it ends with him back in Texas, driving his go-kart into a guppy pond. - Bill Maher

Halliburton Outsources Self
Dubai is the
Middle East's capital of quirkiness, with its man-made islands constructed as
luxury housing estates visible from space in the form of palm trees and a map of
the globe. Local recreation includes camel trekking in the desert, snorkeling in
the Gulf or skiing down indoor slopes. Becoming an international metropolis also
has its down side: Besides the soaring real estate prices and inflation
estimated at 20%, other undesirable features of life in the new Dubai include
massive daily traffic jams, a rise in prostitution,
and
growing discontent among the legions of mostly Asian laborers imported for the
construction industry.
Halliburton is merely the latest in a growing number of banks and other global
service companies making Dubai their Middle East hub.
Though Halliburton is relocating its pallets of cash to the Middle East, Houston will still be in charge of pallet production. Grant Gerver, www.seriouskidding.com
