Dickey--


I read the Max Boot column--and before you, I suspect--since I read the WSJ every day but Sunday. Sorry, a Max Boot column in the WSJ is not what is called a reliable source--at least not in circles of thinking individuals--though perhaps in yours.

And we'll see what Mr. Brown actually does when he takes over. Perhaps it has escaped your eagle eye that he is not yet PM.

Your thrashing around is fitfully amusing--but I'm afraid, not very convincing--except if your goal is convince us that my analysis of your behavior is accurate.
