Rather than pull the rug out arbitrarily, we could create a sunset that might be a year away, when the subsidy disappears.

You can have people round and flood out here on a summer's evening, or pull out a rug and have a bottle of wine. It is great for children, too. Our son used to run over the back through the garden to play with the little girl who played Hermione in the Harry Potter films.

Even though I'm skeptical that this kind of issue is going to pull the rug out from Al Gore, I think it's a plus for the Republicans to be able to talk about foreign policy, to talk about national security and to talk about the failure of the administration of Bill Clinton and Al Gore in this one area.

He's using the whole field. Last year he was primarily pull -- when he did things he was pulling the ball. He made a conscious effort to go back to using the whole field like he did when he first got here. He's a natural. He's a gifted athlete.

There are many ways that that kind of a mindset would find, readily, to pull you over already.

When we look back a year from now I think we'll recognize the summer of 2005 as the peak of the housing boom.
