Janet--

Still waiting for any rebuttal of my view of the current political scene.

And by the way: re: cut and paste:   I have never cut and pasted anything on Mudcat. I give direct quotes or put it in my own words.   But I'm flattered that you think something I wrote was from the WSJ. I'm not up to their standard.

Or perhaps it was your usual careless reading that made you think I had cut and pasted something.

Be that as it may, I do believe in reading, thinking and assimilating--and in facts and logic, rather than unrelenting cynicism.   You might try them some time.

Just a friendly suggestion.
