Guest Buchanan, I saw you on television yesterday on C-Span. You looked rather uncertain of yourself after the news conference, as you wondered off stage and into the audience. I saw you shake hands with two people, both of whom were trying their damndest to avoid you. Of course, fear won out and they shook your hand (they were apparently afraid of retaliation if they didn't help you look good on camera).

A little advice for you: Come here often. Given time, we may soften your edges a little. If you start now, you may be a viable candidate by 2004. 'Merica needs good folkys runnin' things. You too could be one! Jim
