hitler and his non-popular-vote-winning coalition took the terrorist incident against the Reichstag and turned into a severe curtailment of civil liberties and a decade-long military romp through half the world Wait. All that sounds vaguely familiar <g>

Well, suppose I put it the other way: Hitler was a great politician in the same sense that William S. Burroughs was a great writer. I don't suppose that Eckerd sells irony pills to remedy a deficiency. Incidentally, here's a really telling endorsement of Burroughs: "Described by Norman Mailer as 'the only living American novelist who may conceivably be possessed of genius', Burroughs certainly lived up to those words." Since Mailer was still alive, maybe what he meant was that Burroughs was a genius because he shot his wife to death whereas Mailer was only a major talent because he had nearly stabbed his wife to death. Meanwhile, back on the stock exchanges, I sure do wish the markets would either go up or down so I can make some money.
