Don't mind TraderGreg. He lost it a bit ago. His posts the past hour haven't been representative, fortunately. Eventually he'll get over it, but in the meanwhile he's just an angry bear pacing around looking for something to mangle. So don't get put off by him. Responsible, intelligent posting will get respected here.

Greg- Thanks for the advice. I'm aware of my opinions and the fact that other people don't share them. But that's because not everyone has gained the perspective I have. I'm young, but well read and I think I can hold my own.

Hi Greg,

Re: Take a piece of advice...you ain't going to get a fair shake here. You will be slammed and when you defend yourself, you will be told you've lost it.

I've taken solace by paying attention to the world press. They are hysterically funny in their disdain of "daddy's boy". Even the BBC was excoriatingly dismissive of the boy. They talked about a fool who thought that foreign affairs meant having anything to do with Louisiana. His full engagement in the world? A trip to the Great Wall of China, one to Paris and a vacation around the Mediterranean. Basically, we've put a bumpkin in charge. This is how the sophisticates of the world see him. They're going to eat him for lunch, if he ever can pull himself away from the barbeque pit in Crawford. Which his handlers are loathe to let him do. Look at his public presence today. 45 minutes listening to preachers. This is leadership? Gimme a f*cking break. This is lunacy. The real President is the guy who got the keycard to the transition office today. Thank God George II is still one heartbeat away from the Presidency.

Regards, Ray

Take heart.

Hillary was in Dublin today. Bertie Hearn, (Ireland's Prime Minister for you clueless Republicans) praised her as a great American and suggested to her, as the Senator from New York, to "give 'em hell!". Harry lives.... <g>
The hypocrisies of the Right will not be tolerated in silence.

This one is hilarious. The National News, CBC from Canada replayed the appearance of the Shrub in Michigan during the primary. A CBC reporter asked what Gov. Bush thought of Canadian Prime Minister Jean Putin's input into North American policy. Dubya replied that he thought the Prime Minister was a real believer in "free trade". (Dumb Republican test: what's wrong with this question?)
