From: Gareth Funny - Over the last few days I have not been able to clear this from my mind - So stand by your glasses steady, Here's a toast to the men who survive, Here's to the dead already, And here's to the next man to die !" Anyway it was nice to see IDS pledge his loyalty to the next leader of the Conservative Party, I presume it will be the same loyalty he showed John Major. Gareth |

That's the thing with having no written constitution. But they picked the wrong Howard. If a wise US electorate had voted for Howard the Duck back in the Seventies the lawyers would have blocked it - "natural born" would have been interpreted as excluding anyone who was "natural hatched". |

He created a program that cut child abuse in the state by 40% He opposed the war in Iraq. He wants more renewable energy sources. He had the guts to put his office on the line and sign the civil unions bill, giving gays the right to marry. Ask people from Vermont. They'll tell you the kind of job he's done! Of course Howard wasn't a quack, he was a real doctor, and that was a real pun. |

From: InOBU Hi Lady Jean: When I say I am not convinced, he is high on my list of who to vote for, which is produced on two colums, first would look like who I prefer reguardless to who can get elected, which would likely look like Kusinich, Edwards, Dean, Kerry... Then, who do I prefer who has an ice cube in Hell's chance... Edwards, Dean, Kerry, then who would I not mind voting for, and would likely win, Dean, Kerry, then who would I grit my teath and vote for, and wish to get drunk in shame for the next four years but we have to get rid of the little idiot in the whitehouse list, which would be, oh god the party got taken in by the general.
