*laughing*.......I'm saying nothing, I have no desire to have the vent of the pro-bush brigade on my back. But I'm sure our politicians are just as dumb ..........when they aren't trying.

My youngest.....he who came with friends and ate me out of house and home last weekend (god, was it only a week ag??!!) has a poster on his bedroom wall, the 'best of Bushisms'. He says any time he feels low he just reads them out loud, and by the time he gets to the end, he is crying with laughter....partly out of pure amusement.....partly out of despair.

Sort of sums it up, I guess.
