Where are we?  The have not seen the budget.  But we have seen something very interesting that encourages me now to talk about the budget.  [a new] article is an absolute doozy as far as I’m concerned because it’s telling us quite a lot.  It’s telling us that Sunday the 10th of November is…Cultural Day when Iraq thinks about its great thinkers, feats of engineering, its natural beauty, its wonders and its historic wealth…this great nation which was the foundation for much in the world.  This celebration is on Sunday.  They moved it forward from its traditional date of…the 18th.  They’re saying they moved it because of the census…They moved it.  They moved it forward to Sunday.
