PS- please give me some brief highlights of the reno thing, I don't have time to look it up.

Re: reference to Waco:

Janet Reno and the freedom of religion: Janet Reno didn't like a particular religious sect in Waco, Texas, so she sent in the FBI with tanks, which resulted in a fire and 80+ US citizens killed by the US government. Janet Reno took full responsibility (whatever that means)

Janet Reno and free enterprise: Janet Reno sent her troops to break up Microsoft - big bad monopoly. You can see the result in your RTQ.

I guess that's why Jim McMannis calls her Janet "Waco on Wall Street" Reno.
