The Lower Manhattan Development Corp. releases six plans for WTC rebuilding. I’d say my favorite is the Memorial Garden (pictured at right), with the Memorial Promenade ranking a close second.

Cheney’s Harken.
Lot of Enrongate coverage today, I know…but I’ve been out of it for a few days. Here’s a good recap on Cheney’s Halliburton shadiness.
Run Away!!
Showing their colors once again, Billy Tauzin and a gaggle of GOP lawmakers exhibit an irrational phobia of the HIV-positive muppet.
The Long and Winding Road.
Caught Road to Perdition over the weekend, and I must say I’m with Stephanie Zacharek (thx, Missy) and David Edelstein on this one. Despite some truly excellent performances (Law, Newman, Tucci, Craig), I found the film ponderous and disappointing. Bleah.
Making Pitt stop.
John McCain devours Dubya crony and SEC chairman Robert Pitt (whom Dubya has ill-advisedly embraced despite the calls for his resignation) on Meet the Press.
Fortunate Son.
In the wake of WorldCom, industry experts doubt FCC Chairman Michael Powell’s ability and desire to put the brakes on the telecom meltdown.
Oh well.
Director Paul Anderson (Event Horizon, Mortal Kombat) is given the reins of Alien vs. Predator, which will no doubt make Jeunet’s outing in Alien: Resurrection look good.
Rescue attempts.
While Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan tries to assuage the market (something Dubya is seemingly incapable of), the Senate and House pass measures to stifle corporate malfeasance (and the stock market free-fall), thanks to a Republican “deathbed conversion.”

Early casting rumors for Wolfgang Petersen’s Superman and Batman have Christian Bale as The Man of Steel and Paul Rudd as the Caped Crusader. Paul Rudd…That’s horrendous.
What it Might Mean.
Congressional Quarterly analyzes the possible impact of McCain-Feingold.
