LRR -- If I may "simplify" -- BEING anything begins with BELIEVING you are. Life's a mental game. Ask the Ugly Duckling -- ask the Super Bowl champs -- ask the winners at Agincourt. You gotta BELIEVE, man -- otherwise nothing is possible. Mike

I have to go to bed now, and won't be online, probably, for the next two days, at least not if I have a responsible bone in my body. Unless I have time to reply to Michael tomorrow. Michael, if I don't, and forget by Monday, you have my permission to nag me. Do you think Clinton got a C-? To me, he is a pathetic laughing stock whom no one will ever believe again and didn't get away with anything, even though he did manage to cling to the office. I suppose that means he didn't get an E. But I'd give him a D- in the getting-away-with-it competition. When I see his face on the screen, I feel, OH, go AWAY, you callow CREEP. And Hillary's risible contention that they had never discussed the matter of the clemency for the FALN terrorists? They won't get away with that, either, I don't think. In that she will surely never be the senator from New York. Clinton doesn't listen to his coalition of advisors when he doesn't want to, as in the case of the FALN terrorists; and also, I think he liked to be around mediocrities. I have no idea what I'm writing, I'm so sleepy. 'Night, all.

I just spent a couple of days in Manila, and I seem to have missed a rousing political argument. I did manage to get to one of the only real bookstores in the country, though, and picked up, among other things, a recent Hunter S. Thompson monologue on US politics. Much gibberish, as expected, but also some very interesting observations. And I have to admit he had Bill's number from the very beginning. I liked this one: Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is. They are addicts, and they are guilty, and they do lie and cheat and steal - like all junkies. And when they get in a frenzy, they will sacrifice anything and anybody to feed their cruel and stupid habit, and there is no cure for it. That is addictive thinking. That is politics - especially in Presidential campaigns. That is when the addicts seize the high ground. They care about nothing else. They are salmon, and they must spawn. I rather liked that.
