Wesley Clark’s op-ed from the Washington Post - reprinted here:

Now available, Start.com is Microsoft’s answer to the Google Start Page. While the page doesn’t have any Microsoft identification besides the copyright, it is an obvious copy of the Google page, from the layout to the DOM / CSS / Javascript coding. As an incubator project, it is probably just a pet project idea of a couple of unpaid interns, until, of course, Microsoft likes it and then takes it from them and runs with it. Imitation is such flattery…

According to Cincinnati Channel 5, Republican Jean Schmidt has narrowly defeated Democrat Paul Hackett for Ohio’s Second Congressional District. The unofficial vote tally is in at 57,974 to 54,401, a margin of 3,573 votes. The 52 to 48 percent loss is much closer than expected and the Democratic Party considers even a loss at this close a margin to be a good sign for the 2006 mid-term elections.
