They finally got the Kinkos news out. The only way to get some reaction here is to kick some butt, as I hope Mr. Rump is doing. Please someone supply him with a pair of heavy-duty, super reiforced, made to measure steel-toe cowboy boots with high impact resistant tips. By the look of what incompetence we have been exposed to lately... he needs the toughest he can get! Bruno Albanesi
