At least you are living proof that there are still neothandrals in America who see a commie under ever bed. Richard is long gone - to the 50s.

We both know Porky Pig did not run in the last election, because he could not get enough chads punched all the way thru in the primary. That, and less literate voters in some states thought Pig meant democrat, so they voted the other candidate. It was a confusing ballot arrangement. We plan to do better next election, where M. Mouse has declared his interest in candidacy. It was a sorry state of Affairs a few elections back when Scrooge McDuck tried to buy the Presidency, but we hope it has not impugned the whole two-dimensional political scene. Speaking of two-dimensional funnies, if you think you have it bad with political contributions being smelly and candicacies being money races, then you should take a look at Canada. Jaime Crouton, our lovable, outgoing, (whew! - that took time), Primepresident-for-as-long-as-you-can-stand-him, had decided that the opposition parties are too dangerous for his vision of a fair system, so that he is banning all kinds of money that can outspend the liberals. He is proposing that ALL corporate sponsorhsip and donations be banned, so only private money be allowed, and a cap on that. We know the liberals get all kinds of soft money and they have the news media on their side. The only paper that even pretends to espouse conservative opinion is a tabloid rag, the Sun. But the primary reason the (gold and mining hating) Liberals want to change the system, is that they get soft monetary and media support from people they have elevated to millionaire status in PQ and Ontario on their largesse. Crouton has proposed and will probably pass into legislation, a law that states a party may get money for elections proportional to the votes they got in the last election! They obviously think that will establish a dynasty for themselves and make the opposition parties irrelevant. Some would say that the Globe and Mail, a competitor to the avowedly Liberal rag, the Star, is a conservative leaning paper. For 30 years they printed the exact propaganda the government of the day wanted them to. When I offered to Globe reporters a story about the then Liberal PM's office, concerning a siezure of a ship on the high seas in co-operation with looting cronies in PQ, the intention being in addition to support some foreign government's initiatives in the ME, in the process interfering with the lawful property rights of Canadian citizens -- they were not interested. Some conservatism. They are about as conservative as Pravda was. So do you think George and George will ever get their family portrait on the three dollar bill? EC<:-}
