Hmm, are you saying that if I disagree with you, you will take it personally. I hope not.

Your post about Steyn was not one that encouraged any conversation about it. I didn't take it as a personal attack; just that you didn't wish to talk; just toss a bit of mud.

On the Krugman piece, I thought we were both way OT. You felt that in the 89 Bush Rangers stuff, his role as a president's son was not relevant to his later $12 million. I thought that was why he was selected and was directly comparable to the Whitewater stuff. If you object to one, you should object to both. I, frankly, don't like either, but it is the way of the rather tight interface, in some places, between politics and business. Neither should be worth some 60 or 70 million dollars of tax payer money to investigate them.

But that's old stuff. I gather you agree with the WSJ op ed piece on women. Steyn aside. Do I gather correctly?

That picture is one that makes my eyes tear every time I see it...The horror of it...it says everything about the human condition we find ourselves in today.

That gets me as bad as the bodies falling. Both the pictures and the special on the firemen that had the sound of the bodies hitting the pavement. Imagine the horror that makes dropping 1,000 feet to a sure death look good.
