Hi Greg,

As someone who's made a bit of a study of Torquemada lately, I have to admit sympathy for the Roman Catholic Church. They were maliciously accused of burning as many as 8,000 heretics at the stakes. I tend to believe the Church on this. They really only burned slightly over 2,000 Marrones and other deviates. I can't tell you how relieved I was when I found this out.

It's uncanny how these numbers apply to a Castillian colony, a rather misshaped appendage on the great United States.

I almost instantly switched sides in the Mid-east War when I read this:
(On going to war over religion) - "You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend." -Yasir Arrafat (PLO leader)

Which reminds me of the passage in "Shrub" where Molly Ivins describes Bar and Dubya getting into a heated controversy over whether anyone who wasn't "born again" could ever enter into the kingdom of heaven. It got so disputatcious that they had to call Billy Graham. Who advised them that it wasn't up to the Bushes to decide who gets into heaven.......

Intro to the Inaugural Speech:
The right Honorable 43rd President of the United States, His Illegitamacy, the Dufus Lord of the Realm the Unvoted, His Exigency and Expediency, the Dishonorable George II:

"My fallow Armenians,

Best, Ray :)
