because that's what makes it seem like an ad--easy to dismiss--rather than a statement from a fellow citizen that is hard to ignore.

I've got a big mouth that gets me into trouble frequently. I'm sure I'd have reminded him I wasn't one of his yes men at Bain and there were things he needed to know if he wanted to talk about any of them intelligently.

I'm sure I'd have been tackled at that point, cuffed, and hauled off the premises.

there is just something so seriously wrong with him renate Sep 2012 #1
