Tail Gunner Joe? From the People's Republic of Wisconsin? Surely you jest.

But, it's true, they celibrate his birthday every year up near my home town, can't remember if it's Antigo, 30 miles away or Appleton, 90 or so. Of course, if you want to debate the factuality of Bill's "what do you think we are, communists?" remark, I'd welcome correction. The line a while back, a few court dates ago, was that the whole story about Microsoft being blindsided by the internet, was all a fabrication, Bill was on top of things right from the start. So, maybe that bit about communists giving away software was all one of those Potemkin village fabrications too. You tell me.

Cheers, Dan.

WAY, WAY OFF TOPIC: >>>"To get rich is glorious" .....Deng Xiaoping, former Chinese Communist Party leader and head of state for nearly 20 years."

And he did - in office.

I guess the sight of the statue of liberty in Tien An Men being crushed under tanks along with the bodies of hundreds of pro-American students didn't affect you as much as it did me. That was also Deng. Perhaps millions of children being executed after being born, some weeks later, as part of their 'birth control' program, didn't phase you either. Deng was also in charge for that. But hey, maybe you made some money on Nike stock. That would make it all OK? I don't think you can believe this. Tell me it's not so.
