58. sure
I referenced her to express doubt that her legal strategy will succeed (and if there is a cunning alternative political strategy, it's still below my radar). After all the sound and fury, that's still what I think. I think it's probably a waste of time to talk about lever machines at all. But, unluckily, I'm always curious.

     - the article referenced in the OP is plain wrong  garybeck   Apr-17-09 01:49 AM   #89 
        - I'm not defending Tobi, or her rhetoric.  Wilms   Apr-17-09 08:41 AM   #90
