Guest Larry K:   Always refreshing to read about someone's priorities as to which nation is the most important to him/her. So--l;et me see if I have this right--if you are French, Italian, Turkish, German, and other non participants in this fiasco you vote Kerry?---and if you are Micronesia, Japan, Cameroon, and other such nations (OH---yes UK) that are part of the Coaliton of the Committed (or is it the Coaliation of those who should be committed) you vote W. Other national priorities first---right?

                NY Gov. (Ex) Mario Cuomo was interviewed today and his point was that Bush speaks like a bully, acts like a bully, and wants to act the tough cowboy---in our complex society the nuance and intellect that Kerry provides is the more viable option.

                Interestingly enough you might like to check a website from the Museum of the Moving Image--there you can see political ads all the way back to 1950. A 20 second ad for Eisenhower (GOP) in 1952--title: The Housewife   20 seconds Dialogue:(paraphrase) We need a President that is involved with other nations and is respected by them. We need friends around the globe---that is why I Like Ike.    Kerry should have shown that GOP ad---how the times have changed for the Grand Old Party.

               Finally, I ask---you have spoken with all the people you mention that support Kerry? I am impressed---such close contact with tyrants. That is one of the best post Halloween scares yet---give my best to Yassah Yassir. Looks like you never caught the name of the Malaysian at the cocktail party of creepy demagogues.
