>>>The trouble with President Bush is that he likes to run off at the mouth. He's forgotten that Teddy Roosevelt, a real man, said, "Speak softly but carry a big stick." << Oh well... What Teddy Roosevelt did say was "Walk softly. But carry a big stick" () So much so for the memetic nature of this and similar sentences - they just have a life of their own. In any case the original suggestion is MUCH smarter, even if the world has not exactly fond memories of TR. Lemme float another: "Suck softly and carry a big shtick". Apply as and when necessary. dj thanks to SoroS - or was it Oblomov - who pointed this out to me some time ago. Returning the favor back across Atlantic.
