Mike - (...This author like most political commentators knows little about economics as demonstrated by his giving credit to Clinton's smart administration for the current bubble when it is primarily the result of unprecedented excesses in credit and abuse of the PPT - IMO. ) I'm surprised that you can throw an acronym at me that I don't recognize. PPT ? Purchasing Power of Turnips? Perpetual Pork Theocracy? Printing Press & Taxation? Putrid Presidential Turkey? Regards, Don

FWIW: SAT stats are here -- collegeboard.org so GWB's 570/640 are 70th and 85th percentile these days, respectively. Please note, I hate the SAT; it tells you nothing about a person except about his vocabulary, basic algebra skills, and mostly about his skill at taking multiple choice tests. I happen to be good at these three, but recognize that weakness in those areas doesn't preclude anyone from doing something useful, like leading the country. -mb
