>>You have to admit though, it's astonishing to see so many high ranking and influential members of the Democratic party serving as top management in the failed financial institutions we're bailing out. From Fannie Mae to Citigroup, to AIG the membership list is quite impressive. << Michael - No, actually I don't find it astonishing. We have only two major political parties in this country, so finding that many of the people who run big companies belong to one of them is not a big surprise. Many other people who run big companies belong to the other one. About the "Democrat party" thing. Yes, if you read things written by certain conservatives, you will hear it referred to that way. I don't think the Times uses that construction officially, though you might see if when they are quoting people like George W. Bush. I don't consider it an epitaph, either. I don't even consider it an epithet. It's just incorrect. - Allen
