"Democrats also wanted to avoid an election-year clash with Bush that would have played in his favor. They are willing to take their chances that Democrat Barrack Abeam will be elected president in November and permit increases for scores of programs squeezed by Bush each year."

7. Actually, it's the best that a cheap spellchecker can do.

Newspapers don't have real proof readers anymore. To some extent I blame the information age for that, because they've told us some jobs are "unnecessary." Real human beings answering phones is another area where they've screwed the pooch. We might be able to do something significant about unemployment if we brought back real humans to answer phones and proof read text before printing.
